Barack Obama actually said...
I don't know what he was referring to, but I can tell you this. When I won in 2008, 47 percent of the American people voted for John McCain. They didn't vote for me. And what I said on election night was even though you didn't vote for me, I hear your voices and I'm going to work as hard as I can to be your president.
Context
Obama reflects on the 2008 election results and his commitment to serve all Americans, regardless of their voting choice.
