In “The Power of Bad Words”  Peggy Noonan pegs Barack Obama’s biggest weakness as an American leader:  He believes when he speaks, people listen.

If you’re one of those people who really likes to dig into the intrigue of back-room politics, read this outstanding piece by Peggy Noonan in this week’s Wall Street Journal.  Peggy details why it takes more than a teleprompter to make a presidency.
