    Description

    President Obama’s speech to West Point graduates drew criticism for its restrained foreign policy prescriptions and less-than-lofty oratory. Today on the Gist, a look at Obama’s turn toward more restrained rhetoric with former Carter speechwriter and New Yorker staff writer Hendrik Hertzberg. Then, Joe McGinty from The Loser’s Lounge explains how his band performs tributes to our guiltiest of guilty musical pleasures. In the Spiel, we sniff through Mike’s browser cookies until we uncover a truffle. Get The Gist by email as soon as it’s available: slate.com/GistEmailSubscribe to the podcast in iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/slate…id873667927?mt=2Learn more about your ad choices.
