Speaking to a group of students Monday afternoon, Obama echoed his infamous “you didn’t build that” comments when he told the White House Mentorship and Leadership graduates that no one achieves anything on their own.

“Tens of thousand of people helped me succeed,” he said. “We support each other.”
