Here are some of President Obama’s remarks from townhall.com
President Barack Obama called Walter Cronkite “a voice of certainty in a world that was growing more and more uncertain.”
Speaking at a memorial service for the legendary newsman, Obama acknowledged he hadn’t known Cronkite personally, “but I have benefited as a citizen from his dogged pursuit of the truth.”
“But if we realize that the kind of journalism he embodied will not simply rekindle itself as part of the natural cycle, but will come alive only if we stand up and demand it,” Obama said he was convinced “the golden days of journalism still lie ahead.”
