Obama on Guantanamo and terrorism: the full speech
The full text of US President Barack Obama’s speech (as prepared for delivery) at the National Archives Museum on 21 May, 2009.

These steps are all critical to keeping America secure. But I believe with every fiber of my being that in the long run we also cannot keep this country safe unless we enlist the power of our most fundamental values( What the hell does this mean, who’s values a politicians values or a honest and working for a living American values). The documents that we hold in this very hall - the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights -are not simply words written( WHAT,WHAT is this guy kidding if he real believes that then repeal the patriot act, Stop torture and stop domestic spying and end free speech zones) into aging parchment. They are the foundation of liberty and justice in this country, and a light that shines for all who seek freedom, fairness, equality and dignity in the world( Can you tell us where in the US of F**KING A are social freedom, social fairness, social equality and social dignity when the rich, lazy and amoral elites, corrupt politicians and corporation work endlessly to screw over the working class of the whole world) .

I stand here today as someone whose own life was made possible by these documents ( WHAT you sold out to wall street and big banks ). My father came to our shores in search of the promise that they offered. My mother made me rise before dawn to learn of their truth when I lived as a child in a foreign land ( Yes, Yes your life was so hard, everyone knows that you’re a puppet of big banks, Wall street and corrupt politicians. Wake me when his stories over ) . My own American journey was paved by generations of citizens who gave meaning to those simple words - “to form a more perfect union.” I have studied the Constitution as a student; I have taught it as a teacher; I have been bound by it as a lawyer and legislator.( A lawyer OH someone we can really trust to take care of us, HA HA HA )I took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution as Commander-in-Chief, and as a citizen( OF WHAT COUNTRY<>) , I know that we must never - ever - turn our back on its enduring principles for expedience sake( Expedience sake, how long have you been in Washington all of 6 seconds before you became president, how did you do that BY SELLING OUT ).

I make this claim not simply as a matter of idealism. We uphold our most cherished values ( who’s most cherished values the rich, politicians and big business. Is torture, killing innocent people, stealing money, spending the Americans money to bailout big banks, domestic spying and over taxing hard working are these all our values? ) not only because doing so is right, but because it strengthens our country and keeps us safe ( keeps us safe? The last time I checked we were in two WARS ). Time and again, our values have been our best national security asset - in war and peace; in times of ease and in eras of upheaval.

Fidelity to our values( who’s values? Values, values, values by repeating the word values over and over again he is trying make you think he has values , who wrote this crap) is the reason why the United States of America grew from a small string of colonies under the writ of an empire to the strongest nation in the world ( the real reason why America grew was greed of the elite and politicians i.e. Indian wars, Mexican American war and so on.).
