Barack Obama actually said...

"The only way we live up to America's promise is if we value every single child, not just our own, and invest in every single child as if they're our own."

"We knew this couldn't just be a Government initiative."

"There's nothing, not a single thing, that's more important to the future of America than whether or not you and young people all across this country can achieve their dreams."

"Ensuring that our young people can go as far as their dreams and hard work will take them is the single most important task that we have as a nation."
