A mysterious thing happened in that speech Tuesday night. By the end of it Barack Obama had become president. Every president has a moment when suddenly he becomes what he meant to be, or knows what he is, and those moments aren't always public. Bill Safire thought he saw it with Richard Nixon one day in the new president's private study. Nixon always put a hand towel on the hassock where he put his feet, to protect the fabric, but this time he didn't use the towel, he just put up his feet. As if it were his hassock. And his house.
So with Mr. Obama, about four-fifths of the way through the speech. He was looking from the prompters to the congressmen and senators, and suddenly he was engaging on what seemed a deeper level. His voice took on inflection. He wasn't detached, as if he was wondering how he was doing. He seemed equal to the moment and then, in some new way, in command of it. It happened around here:
"The eyes of all people in all nations are once again upon us—watching to see what we do with this moment; waiting for us to lead. Those of us gathered here tonight have been called to govern in extraordinary times."

Peggy has a Mandingo moment.
Peggy has become a complete joke. You all have strong stomachs, I can’t even read her stuff anymore.
Noonan can be spotted bottom left.
After I read “What I Learned at the Revolution”, I’ve always been somewhat suspicious of Peggy Noonan, but of late, she’s absolutely revealed herself for who she is.
Quite honestly, I believe Peggy has inflated her role in the Reagan Administration.
Ya know those scabs on your knees are never gonna heal, Peggy, if you keep groveling like that.
With apologies to Michael Corleone.
I didn’t even finish this. Peggy needs some mental health care.
She would probably say much the same about Hugo Chavez.
I need some toilet paper... wait I have a copy of a Peggy Noonan book on hand!
The only dilemma, is it is her book on Reagan.
Peggy Noonan writes............Who cares?
I wrote a satire that she would be dazzled by this jivester
even her name is now a joke- Peggy Whonan?
Invites to the steak dinners (wagyu?) in georgetown must still be arriving
ROFL!!
I always though she was an airhead.
I guess as interesting as why does she write this diarrhea of the pen, why does the WSJ publish it?
Who takes this woman seriously after the ‘mike’s still on’ incident?
I sure don’t.
Oh, spare me peggy. You couldn’t see through all that BS. More like a Dictator talking than a President in my opinion.
Looks like Peggy is trolling for invites to all the Washington insider parties. She’s angling to be the token “conservative writer”.
Same here.....:(
He’s not my president. Put down the beer bong, Peggy.
