Was it this one?

"But we're going to have to make some changes. We've got to change how health care is delivered to -- the health care delivery system works so that doctors are being paid for the quality of care, not the quantity of care. We've got to make information technology more effective. We've got to have the medical system work in teams so that people don't go through five different tests.

Those are all critical to do, and we can do them. Now, I understand that people are feeling uncertain about this. They feel anxious, partly because we've just become so cynical about what government can accomplish that people's attitudes are, you know, even though I don't like this devil, at least I know it, and I like that more than the devil I don't know.

President Addresses Arrest of Harvard Professor

I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact.

This guy intentionally trying to set back race relations 50 years or so?

“...even though I don’t like this devil, at least I know it, and I like that more than the devil I don’t know.”

Depending on the context, that could be the only thing he said that was not a lie.

I wonder how many devils he knows? Maybe all of them...

That’s the devil reference! If he is the devil I know I will take the one I don’t!
