Obama in a nutshell

Sometimes, Peggy Noonan observes, you can sum up a presidency in a sentence.

She quotes Claire Booth Luce to the effect that you don't have to have anybody tell you who they're talking about when you say, "He fought to hold the union together and end slavery," or "He brought America through economic collapse and a world war."

See Ms. Noonan's June 4 column for her four-word summary of the presidency of Barack Obama.

You'll find in the second from last paragraph of the column, with commentary in the last one.
