Seven years ago I was talking to a longtime Democratic operative on Capitol Hill about a politician who was in trouble. The pol was likely finished, he said. I was surprised. Can’t he change things and dig himself out? No. “People do what they know how to do.” Politicians don’t have a vast repertoire. When they get in a jam they just do what they’ve always done, even if it’s not working anymore.
This came to mind when contemplating President Obama. After a devastating election, he is presenting himself as if he won. The people were not saying no to his policies, he explained, they would in fact like it if Republicans do what he tells them.
You don’t begin a new relationship with a threat, but that is what he gave Congress: Get me an immigration bill I like or I’ll change U.S. immigration law on my own.
Mr. Obama is doing what he knows how to do—stare them down and face them off. But his circumstances have changed. He used to be a conquering hero, now he’s not. On the other hand he used to have to worry about public support. Now, with no more elections before him, he has the special power of the man who doesn’t care.

Buzz! His golf game will NEVER be good, because he is only as athletic as any other narcissistic, ZERO talented, limp-wristed weakling.
‘Now, with no more elections before him, he has the special power of a man who doesn’t care’
“tell Vladimar that, after my election, I will have more flexibility’ He hasn’t cared for a LONG time. Big Media has always covered up his true motives as they have been as hypnotized as Noonan and many others were. It is too late for Big Media to get their credibility back, but is it too late to save this nation?
I wish the chronic liar, anti-American, feckless degenerate was “lonely” in a prison cell for the rest of his worthless existence.
Oh C’mon Peggy you were slobbering all over the guy 6 years ago.
I hate Peggy Noonan.
Great graphic..!
Exactly my feelings.
He’s so ronery.
LOL.
Bet Michelle does heavier weights.
Who gives a bleep about the emotions of a President?

Only because he uses Lucy’s mashy rule.
