Barack Obama actually said...

"What a U.S. president can do is apply sustained energy and focus on the issues of the Israelis and the Palestinians."

"Engaging in tough diplomacy is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength."

"It is my firm belief that it is in the interest of both the Israeli people and the Palestinians to arrive at a peaceful settlement."

"I think that there was sufficient evidence that they were developing a site using a nuclear or using a blueprint that was similar to the North Korean model."
