This week, two points in an emerging pointillist picture of a White House leaking supportnot the support of voters, though polls there show steady decline, but in two core constituencies, Washington's Democratic-journalistic establishment, and what might still be called the foreign-policy establishment.
From journalist Elizabeth Drew, a veteran and often sympathetic chronicler of Democratic figures, a fiery denunciation ofand warning forthe White House. In a piece in Politico on the firing of White House counsel Greg Craig, Ms. Drew reports that while the president was in Asia last week, "a critical mass of influential people who once held big hopes for his presidency began to wonder whether they had misjudged the man." They once held "an unromantically high opinion of Obama," and were key to his rise, but now they are concluding that the president isn't "the person of integrity and even classiness they had thought."

IMO this article by Noonan symbolizes the sea change that occurred in the last week or so...and that is that the "friends of Obama" have come to realize something profound.
'they are concluding that the president isn't "the person of integrity and even classiness they had thought."'
If his friends were questioning Obama's commitment to a certain agenda OR to his openness to change OR his tendency toward a certain kind of error of judgment OR his tin ear toward public opinion OR even the fact that he might harbor some racist tendencies...that would be damaging enough.
But when his friends and supporters "conclude" that Obama isn't a person of INTEGRITY they are on the verge of turning into "scorned lovers"...and that will not just ignite a firestorm of anger toward Obama but will also deprive him of the shelter behind which he has hidden his past.
IMO, the sh!t is about to hit the fan!!!
I’m tempted to read this thread but, alas, I’ve put Peggy Noonan in my “George Will File”. That’s a round container that sits on the floor next to my desk where I carefully place anything written by TURNCOAT FORMER CONSERVATIVES.
Well, I think this overstates it a bit. IMO, all that happened is that by tossing Greig Craig under the bus, Zero raised the ire of the Clintonistas in the chattering class.
And being chattering class nincompoops, they'll be silenced by being awed by some shallow spectacle, or (most likely) by a bribe coming their way.
I second that. So now with she is just starting to admit that Obama is an EPIC FAIL? When clearly earlier even during the campaign it was very clear he had never accomplished a darn thing?
He's detached in the same way that Charlie Manson is detached - from reality. Not that Joe Biden's criminal, he's just crazy or brain damaged. Take your pick.
Anybody still reading High Noonan? Clicking on her just encourages WSJ in its bad behavior of showcasing her. (I refuse to believe they actually pay her.)
You’re a class act! Go get an education so you can learn to converse. This type of posting just reflects a lack of ability to communicate ideas. There are currently a lot of bores on this site.
Gee, Peg-Leg, last year you were swooning over your new black overlord before his coronation—like one of the Conservative-Lite girly-men at National Review, who, while a little nervous about BOs policies and persona, gibbered about the “majesty” of a black running for President. Yeah I guess like the majesty of Marion Berry running for DC mayor. What a bunch of simpering idiots.
Now the bloom is off the rose—this guy is a sleazy, incompetent, racist,hate-filled, Anti-American POS with no redeeming factors—no experience, no foreign or domestic answers, no personality—the most controlled,scripted, and stage managed White House in history.
You’re supposed to be smart enough to see what’s up before hand, Peg-Leg. All you did was vote for a guy because he’s black—no other reason. People like you live in the few white areas of NYC and DC and send your kids to private schools to stay away from blacks and your white guilt and spinelessness made you act out in a stupid frenzy—and wonder of wonders, your ill-considered embrace of a guttersnipe Chicgo politician who without affirmative action would be managing an Arby’s, blew up in your faces. Imagine that?
To give you an analogy that you can probably relate to personally:
You got drunk and had a one night stand with a he-skank—the sex was lousy, he turned out to be dumb and had bad breath, You caught him lying to you—you felt stupid and used the next morning—then came the herpes.
Oh, and from your article:
“It also raises a distressing question: Who are the wise men and women now? Who are the Robert Lovetts, Chip Bohlens and Robert Strausses who can came in to help a president in trouble right his ship? America seems short of wise men, or short on those who are universally agreed to be wise”.
Now white men (or as they are termed now—white guys, white males, or even white boys— per that two legged turd Donna Brazile ) like the ones you talk about are yesterday’s news. Now you have wise Latinas and BO and Michelle and Oprah and Atty General Corn Holder—you picked this world, Peg-Leg— have fun with it. I knew better, as did a lot of folks. I wish you and your fellow assholes were the only ones hurt by your idiocy.
So...they're admitting that they are...MORONS!...?
LOL
That would be her permanent loss of credibility.
Amen—her and a bunch of other people.
We need to hammer these people after the BO scourge is over. Never again will they have anything to say without us rubbing this in their faces.
I like my one-night stand analogy for this ill-considered fling with BO by the MSM. Poor naive, deluded Peggy—somewhere around the fifth drink, before she went home with the guy, not even knowing his last name, she was thinking about what what kind of dresses her bridesmaids would wear when they got married. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Then came reality........
FDR was an American patriot... This clown is an anti-American fool.
Cheers to Peg for putting the “lite” in “elite”.
Not necessary to read a Peggy Noonan article ever again (so I DID NOT read this one), however the FR thread is FANTASTIC!
Thanks for the ping; humor/comments.
Go to bed w/terrorists, wake up w/Crabs. Head down to the clinic Nooner.
Pray for America and Gov Palin
“bores on this site.”
Before you tell me to get an education, you really do need to learn how to spell.
Unfortunately, this board is starting to be filled with moderates.
Peggy Noonan is a disgrace. I was only telling her what she could do with her article as tersely as possible.
Applause, applause!
