Snopes . . . "Commenting on world order, did Obama actually tell a German audience that "ordinary men and women are too small minded to govern their own affairs, and that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their right to an all powerful sovereign"?

. . . "Considered in their full context, President Obama's mentions to ordinary men and women being "too small-minded to govern their own affairs" and order and progress being possible only "when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign" are clearly references to an old, undesirable form of power, not an expression of President Obama's viewpoint about how things are or should be in the world. "
