President Barack Obama Friday warned America risked its security when it compromised its values, seeking support for his bid to sketch a new legal framework for anti-terror policies.
Obama used the backdrop of the US Naval Academy graduation ceremony to argue that founding US ideals must guide the future battle against terrorism, a day after trying to quell raging debate over Guantanamo Bay in a major speech.
"We uphold our fundamental principles and values not just because we choose to, but because we swear to -- not because they feel good, but because they help keep us safe," Obama told 30,000 graduating navy cadets and family members

Like we had no values before him. This man is scary beyond words.
What a F***** IDIOT
Zero.....you HAVE NO values.
Obama is just attempting use another one of Saul Alinsky’s rules, holding conservatives to their own book of rules or values.
‘Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation’s capitol and in a field inPennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?
And I’m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was ‘desecrated’ when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don’t. I don’t care at all.
I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about theHoly Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia
I’ll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.
I’ll care when the cowardly so-called ‘insurgents’ in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide .
I’ll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution’sBill of Rights.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don’t care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don’t care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don’t care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed ‘special’ food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being ‘mishandled,’ you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don’t care.
And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled ‘Koran’ and other times ‘Quran.’ Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don’t care!!
Which “values”?
Like gay rights, and abortion? Those just inflame the Muslim world.
Like robbing the rich and starving the military? Right. The underclass has contributed so much to this country. They’ll just use the handouts to buy bling and drugs, and then stick their hands out again.
Like making sure that White Americans are as poor and uncomfortable as the non-white world? That might get us a few brownie points, but I doubt it. And it’s not worth it, anyway.
“”When America strays from our values, it not only undermines the rule of law, it alienates us from our allies, it energizes our adversaries and it endangers our national security and the lives of our troops.””
This is breathtakingly insulting.
This guy isn’t smart. He’s cunning and that’s difficult to fight. Fortunately, the best way is to use absolute truth.
Now, if only we had a Radio Free America to broadcast into the country simply because the Fairness Doctrine will end any dissent.
Like your "Born Alive" vote-values, punk?
He thinks we're that stupid.
"We uphold our fundamental principles and values not just because we choose to, but because we swear to -- not because they feel good, but because they help keep us safe..."
That is a completely illogical statement!
Our enemies don't give a d@mn about our fundamental principals and values...unless, that is, they can use them against us.
Our President is a maroon!!!
Like 2nd amdt. ‘’values’’?
This idiot should have had a conversation with George S. Patton.
His values as articulated by Rev Wright “God Damn America”
This comes from the same man who called our Constitution "flawed".
He blames Bush again today. What a weak traitor empty suit!
"As long as I am your commander-in-chief, I will only send you into harm?s way when it is absolutely necessary," Obama said, in an apparent veiled criticism of the Bush administration war in Iraq, which the president has argued was unnecessary.
The fundamental principles this idiot talks about upholding are those of the Chicago mob. Intimidation and extortion, under cover of utopian liberal blather.
He has alot of chutzpah to be talking about values.
It seemed to work pretty well for Daniel Pearl.
Moral lectures from a baby killer. Irony!
