Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"It is obvious you are going away."

"It is with particular pride and pleasure that I have today signed the bill repealing the Chinese Exclusion Laws."

"The Chinese people, I am sure, will take pleasure in knowing that this represents a manifestation on the part of the American people of their affection and regard."

"We shall remember also his never failing humor, his cheerful spirit, and his ever ready helpfulness throughout these years."
