Barack Obama actually said...

"Never doubt, that is what makes us American: not where we come from, what we look like, or what faith we practice, but the ideals to which we pledge our allegiance."

"I encourage the people of the United States to join together and give thanks for all we have received in the past year."

"Today, President Obama will pardon the National Thanksgiving Turkey in a ceremony in the Rose Garden."

"I believe we're judged by how we care for the poor and the vulnerable, the sick and the elderly, the immigrant, the refugee, everybody who's trying to get a second chance."
