"WHAT'S TRUE: President Obama made reference to the "achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy."

WHAT'S FALSE: President Obama said that "Muslims built the very fabric of our nation."

Origin:On 28 July 2014, Breitbart published an article under the headline "Obama: Muslims Built 'The Very Fabric of Our Nation" that referenced a 27 July 2014 statement issued by the White House on the occasion of the Muslim holiday of Eid-al-Fitr (which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan).

That headline subsequently circulated on social media and was widely accepted as a direct quote from President Obama. However, the President's complete remarks, in context, were posted to the White House's web site and revealed a different substance than the misleading Breitbart headline that was widely circulated online: "http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/fabric.asp
It kills me that folks just post "quotes" without any attempt to verify.

Thanks. Seems like something he would say so I did not investigate it. However the real quote is hardly different. Its marginal. I agree though that having the real quote is imperative in all cases.
As a note did you know that snopes has a left leaning bias. Its disappointing because I would like to believe there would be at least one absolutely factual source of information available that didnt need ti be questioned.
