Barack Obama actually said...

"If we want to realize change in our communities, we've got to be in it for the long haul, and it starts with each of us."

"In today's society, we're often told how much we are different and how much divides us, but through our shared community service, we realized how much brings us together."

"I reiterate my commitment to bringing our citizens home."

"I think the most important thing is to take the long view on things."
