Cognitive dissonance

So I've had some time now to think over what the President said last night. Some ironic stuff in there.

Law:

Raising up a democracy requires the rule of law.

I have authorized a terrorist surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international communications of suspected Al Qaida operatives and affiliates to and from America.

Religion:

... Iran, a nation now held hostage by a small clerical elite that is isolating and repressing its people.

Human life is a gift from our creator, and that gift should never be discarded, devalued or put up for sale.

Foreign policy:

America rejects the false comfort of isolationism.

... another great goal: to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025.
