...larger significance. But some have gifts that realistically could be expected to lead to world-changing breakthroughs, cures, or innovations; greater respect for politics; even to hundreds of profoundly moved and inspired students.

Only 36% of Americans now think even more troops will improve the American position in this war, according to a recent CBS News poll, including just 17% of Obama's Democratic base. So the President's aides needed to upgrade the setting, interrupt the networks' prime-time lineups and tug a bit harder at the nation's patriotic heartstrings.
