One of the things you get by electing a president with Barack Obama’s background is a new sensibility:
“If there’s just Roosevelt and Churchill sitting in a room with a brandy, that’s an easier negotiation,” Mr. Obama said during his hourlong meeting with the international news media, during which he called on reporters from India and China to ask him questions. “But that’s not the world we live in, and it shouldn’t be the world that we live in.”
And from that should flow many other salutary things…for everybody.
