I took the time to read the text of US President Obama's speech to Congress this evening and I'm a bit confused. Where are all the references to "evil"?

Ganbatte, America!

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

—Terry Pratchett (as Lord Vetinari)
