Original Note:
Obama never literally said this, nor did he write it as a yearbook quote, as the post implies. Instead, the quote is a misleading mash-up of a line in a paper titled “Race and Rights Rhetoric,” which Obama co-wrote with his law school classmate Robert Fisher in April 1991. https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-181030204951 https://www.reuters.com/article/world/fact-check-obama-misquoted-as-saying-the-american-dream-is-to-be-donald-trump-idUSKBN23G26N/
