Did anyone else find themselves crying “America!” during Obama’s speech, recalling the movie Team America – World Police? I did.

It’s a fine line, to be sure. Some of the values we hold dear call for us to rush to the aid of those in danger, and to give generously to those in need. However, as even Obama himself points out, sometimes we need to focus on the well-spring of our great power – our own prosperity, which hasn’t been in such great peril since at least 1929.
