State of the Union

President Obama said something last night in his paragraph about national security that puzzles me deeply:

"I know that all of us love this country. All of us are committed to its defense. So let’s put aside the schoolyard taunts about who is tough. Let’s reject the false choice between protecting our people and upholding our values."

Huh? Who has proposed such a choice? The Republicans? Conservatives?

What on earth did the President mean?

What do you think?

  2. A good editor could have helped him out. THIS:

    Let’s reject the false choice between protecting our people and upholding our values.

    BECOMES THIS:

    Let’s protect our people and uphold our values.
