Barack Obama actually said...

"No transition to democracy comes without difficulty, but in the end it must stay true to the will of the people."

"I've also directed the relevant departments and the agencies to review the implications under the U.S. law for our assistance to the government of Egypt."

"The United States does not support particular individuals or political parties, but we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law."

"The United States takes seriously the concerns of our European allies and partners."
