12:18: Basically, all dichotomies are false. Freedom AND security. Free markets AND big government. America is everyone’s friend. Facebook us Kenya!

It's a fair criticism, but on the other hand, I'm deeply suspicious of dichotomies in general (as an intellectual/philosophical approach), so I'm willing to at least give Obama the benefit of the doubt on these questions.

It's not so much the opposition to dichotomies as the "we can have everything we want!" approach that drives some people (myself included) mad.
