No, Obama hasn't said any such thing in reality. The video is trying to make a statement about the readiness of your average American to dominate in the 21st century.

I'm just waiting to see Obama do more than just say the right thing.

If you had WTFV (watched the fucking video) you'd see it had nothing to do with Obama, just about how after visiting a Denny's he decided he had severely overestimated the american people. Putting out a new plan that instead of calling for 10000 hybrids, it called for people to walk to the liquor store instead of driving.

Pretty funny

Obama has done more in his first 15 days than Bush did in the last eight years.

You might want to qualify that. Bush did a heck of a lot during his terms; it's just that a lot of what he did was terrible.

Well, that's what I meant. More good stuff. Here, I'll take one example:

2005 - Timetables? No we can't have those.
2006 - Timetables would aid the enemy
2007 - We don't want to provide timetables, as we might leave without finishing what we need to do.
2008 - "Make it a hundred [years]."
Feb 2009 - We will be pulling most of our troops out by 2010.

Timetable. Done. Period. Finished. What the fuck were the Republicans bitching about? There it is. Something you couldn't do for years, and Obama did it in the time it takes to make coffee.

(Okay, that's not in the first 15 days, but it's a great example. In the first 15 days, all of his executive orders did more good than Bush's eight years, mainly because he was reversing all of the stupid EOs that Bush wrote.)
