    “As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake.”

  11. Here is what is really crazy- read Bush’s second inaugural address. A lot of what Obama says isn’t anything new.

    Yah, but it was Bush saying it–and we all know what a damn liar he is.

    And Obama seems to actually believe what he says. And since he’s already dismantling Gitmo, or at least putting a hold on the wallaby court sessions there, I’d say the whole rejection of the choice btn safety and ideals is already coming to pass. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/12/obama.gitmo/
