It has been only ten days since the New York Times house conservative, David Brooks, suddenly discovered that "Barack Obama is not who we thought he was." As a result, the White House sent out a special team of four high level officials to get Brooks' "mind right." They sure did a terrific job because Brooks, after declaring himself ready to lead a "moderate" army to oppose Obama, performed a sudden U-Turn. The earlier urge to challenge the Obama administration was replaced by strange new respect, especially since David was given his very own talisman chart by his overseers which predicts events long after the President is gone from office:
The White House has produced a chart showing nondefense discretionary spending as a share of G.D.P. Thats spending for education, welfare and all the stuff that Democrats love. Since 1985, this spending has hovered around 3.7 percent of G.D.P. This year, its about 4.6 percent. The White House claims that it is going to reduce this spending to 3.1 percent by 2019, lower than at any time in any recent Republican administration. I was invited to hang this chart on my wall and judge them by how well they meet these targets. (I have.)

Wow, David Brooks was convinced by some chart? Really?
What an intellectual boob.
It’s funny the idiot liberals who actually think this guy is a “Conservative”-to them who read the NYT he probably is- Wonder what they would think of me.
Brooks saw what happened at the New York Times when William Kristol dared offer opinions that were not kosher with the Sulzberger/Soros/Obama clique. Gone. Give him a break; nice nerd from main line Philadelphia just wants to keep his job. Its only self preservation.
David has been taken by the body snatchers long ago last year
