And the most dangerous defeatists, the most dispiriting pessimists, are those who invoke September 11th to argue that our traditional values are a luxury we can no longer afford.

Same exact phrase, said about the same thing.

I'm still bitter that the MSM is patting itself on the back for covering the "Dueling speeches" when they NEVER did that against Bush.

1. I did. I play Kerry's dissent speech from time to time...

There have been a couple of lines in Obama's speeches that are near direct quotes. I think that's pretty cool. One could infer from that... :7
