Barack Obama To Michael Phelps Upon Receiving His Record-Breaking 19th Olympic Medal: You Didn't Earn That
"If you've got an Olympic medal, you didn't earn that. Somebody else made that happen." - Paraphrasing President Obama of the Socialist Republic of the United States. Phelps's 19th medal was the result of an outstanding all-around team effort in the relay race. So Obama does have a point, at least in this instance.
