Peggy Noonan - WSJ Comment - What a piece of shit she is!!!!
Read this story and be prepared to get pissed off! It is amazing what she calls mistakes by Obama. Health Care (victory in my book), Immigration (not even started yet) and the oil spill (I give him a C+, far from a disaster), But she is calling it three disasters.

He Was Supposed to Be Competent
The spill is a disaster for the president and his political philosophy.

I don't see how the president's position and popularity can survive the oil spill. This is his third political disaster in his first 18 months in office. And they were all, as they say, unforced errors, meaning they were shaped by the president's political judgment and instincts.

There was the tearing and unnecessary war over his health-care proposal and its cost. There was his day-to-day indifference to the views and hopes of the majority of voters regarding illegal immigration. And now the past almost 40 days of dodging and dithering in the face of an environmental calamity. I don't see how you politically survive this.

The president, in my view, continues to govern in a way that suggests he is chronically detached from the central and immediate concerns of his countrymen. This is a terrible thing to see in a political figure, and a startling thing in one who won so handily and shrewdly in 2008. But he has not, almost from the day he was inaugurated, been in sync with the center. The heart of the country is thinking each day about A, B and C, and he is thinking about X, Y and Z. They're in one reality, he's in another.

1. Some people like to roll over to 'central claims of authority'
What is the 'center' in her thoughts. and what actions of the center does she defend?

2. Peggington's 'center' is located in a country club that's only semi-restricted.

4. There's a person with zero credibility
Only in the USA and the Wall Street Journal (Any edition: Asia, Europe, etc) would she be given the status of expert (or even mildly knowledgeable)

Sounds like the perfect description of George W. Bush to me.

Enough said. Cannot stand Peggy Noonan. Someone need to hit her with a big rock upside the head to shut her racist asset up.

10. I guess reading it is better than hearing her say it.
That phony voice of hers is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
