Obama's "Gift"

Daniel Henninger writes in the April 30 WSJ about Obama's "gift" of being able to make people on all sides of an issue think he is agreeing with them. It is a gift all right, but is it a gift that we need in the person leading our country? Henninger suggests that what our country needs is different: more along the lines of the plain speaking of a Harry Truman.
