[NYT's David] Brooks Breaks Up with Obama (Torrid MSM Bromance Ends in Tears)
National Review Online ^ | 9/21/2011 | Patrick Brennan

David Brooks admitted in his column yesterday what conservatives have long suspected: He really, really liked Obama. In fact, he’s “a sap.” Here are ten examples of his sappiness over time.

10. David Brooks thought he had a wonderful plan for poverty reduction. Why? “A neighborhood is a moral ecosystem, and Obama, the former community organizer, seems to have a . . . feel for that.”

9. In a 2009 profile of Brooks in The New Republic, the columnist describes Obama as capable of holding his own as an intellectual: “He can do the jurisprudence, he can do the political philosophy, and he can do the politics. I think he’s more talented than anyone in my lifetime. I mean, he is pretty dazzling when he walks into a room.” Brooks was even impressed by Obama’s “perfectly creased pants.”

They force themselves to focus on the legs. If they looked at his ears, they’d burst out laughing.

“I’m a sap, a specific kind of sap. I’m an Obama Sap.”

So are the ones who gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize. How did that work out? Not! Those with a man-crush on Obama follow their heart, not their brains. Idiots, all.

Where is the evidence for this statement with the exception of his "perfectly creased pants"? I have never seen Obama debate and discuss Constitutional law, the process of jurisprudence in this nation as practiced verses constitutional law, nor have I ever even once heard Obama say he is the steward of our Constitution or even anything resembling that.

Obama may be an intellect of astounding heights and insight and knowledge. He has demonstrated nothing in public that can confirm such intellect. In public he has demonstrated repeatedly the corruption of Chicago politics and he plays it well and viciously. He may be the intellect that Brooks attributes to him, he has only demonstrated Chicago political thuggery.

I evaluate a man on his actions and not his image written by sycophants of the left. The only actions he has demonstrated to me is Chicago thuggery and political and fiscal corruption that is the "Chicago Way."

if Baraq was a 1600 SAT, 4.0 in college, and ripped the LSAT, the evidence would be hanging in solid gold frames in the WH briefing room.

Ah, a very good point.

See post 18, which provides a good account of the origins of Brooks’ infatuation with 0’s intellectual pretensions. Prince Barry said “Reinhold Niebuhr” and Brooks slobbered all over himself.

It should have been a clue: Niebuhr was a socialist, or a quasi-socialist who later masked his socialism by calling it Christianity.
