...didn't handle Afghanistan well because we got distracted," Obama said, pacing across a makeshift stage in the school's gym before a giant flag. "We took out translators, didn't put in development money that was needed... And we didn't have a coordinated strategy to deal with Pakistan.

...these young adults are doing much more than merely surviving. Their medical histories are rich textbooks for teaching doctors and future patients about how to overcome cancer--not just the initial dangers of the disease but also the late-stage complications of the surgery, chemotherapy and radiation that saved those young lives.

And indeed, Obama's speech got him a standing ovation at that church in Chicago. So we can expect to hear more such analogies - right up until the primaries are over. Then the math may get even fuzzier...
