Barack Obama actually said...

I still believe that America is the last, best hope of Earth. We just have to show the world why this is so.

It is time to bring this conflict to a responsible end so we can bring our troops home and refocus on the wider struggle yet to be won.

We must lead the world, by deed and example.

The disappointment that so many around the world feel toward America right now is only a testament to the high expectations they hold for us...
