From the West Point speech:

Finally, we must draw on the strength of our values…we must make it clear to every man, woman and child around the world who lives under the dark cloud of tyranny that America will speak out on behalf of their human rights, and tend to the light of freedom, and justice, and opportunity, and respect for the dignity of all peoples. That is who we are. That is the source — the moral source of America’s authority.

Since I have been ranting about Obama’s silence on democracy, I’m going to take partial credit for this.  Post hoc, ergo propter hoc, correct?
