To the Editor:

To the world—President Obama promised a return to the power of our values from this unseemly focus on the value of our power. To us at home—President Obama said the celebration is over and we must get down to “the work of remaking America.” He expects all of us to sacrifice, sweat and serve.

For when he said, “All this we can do. All this we will do,” he was really commanding us, “All of this we must do!”

Note from KBJ: If our power had no value, our values would have no power.
