Barack Obama actually said...

"We respect the right of the Iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy."

"President Obama has said very clearly that North Korea can never achieve the security, the respect, or the economic prosperity that it says it wants through its pursuit of nuclear weapons and missiles..."

"America's future prosperity and security are very much intertwined with the Asia-Pacific region."

"The President set out a clear, overarching objective for the United States in the region to sustain a stable security environment."
