Freedom of speech:
"President Obama was vague in his references to America's future dealings with countries and peoples who do not share "American values", or democratic political principles.
But he did say: "Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions."
He went on to add, some lines later: "To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
