Earlier today, there was this quote circulating that made Barack Obama sound like a complete ego maniac.

Now, the full quote is being released and it’s not so bad.

“It has become increasingly clear in my travel…that the crowds, the enthusiasm, 200,000 people in Berlin, is not about me at all. It’s about America. I have just become a symbol of the possiblity of America returning to our best traditions.”

“I was born my mother’s son,” Christopher Ciccone says, “but I will die my sister’s brother.”

Note to Chris: That’s your choice.
