NEW YORK - 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." Obama's remarks concluded a gathering Wednesday of dignitaries, journalists, family and friends at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall to honor Cronkite, who died July 17 at age 92.
