Ready to Defend The Constitution

Ezra Klein highlights Bill Clinton's money quote:

My fellow Democrats, I say to you, Barack Obama is ready to lead America and restore American leadership in the world. Ready to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Barack Obama is ready to be president."

A somewhat subtle--and important--turn on the ready-to-lead meme. Being "ready" to wage endless war is a different thing than being ready to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the U.S."
