Peggy Noonan on Barack

In today's column, Peggy Noonan repeats a sentiment from a previous column: Barack Obama is "a brilliant and accomplished young black man with a consensus temperament, a thoughtful and peaceful person who wishes to lead." Young black man? Yes. Brilliant and accomplished? Not yet proven. Consensus temperament? Merely an assertion without proof. Thoughtful and peaceful? How would anyone know? Wishes to lead? Definitely.
