But Obama does not ratchet up hostilities; he restrains them. He does not lash out at perceived enemies, but is aloof from them.
Bottom Line: Obama is a nicer person, hence more electable, hence more qualified to be president. The entire editorial is worth a read.

Any of the top-tier democrats would be a disaster for the United States on a scale not seen since Jimmy Carter or worse-also Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich, of course.

"Obama is an inner-directed man in a profession filled with insecure outer-directed ones."Sounds like a description of President George W. Bush. I wonder if the NYT ever praised him for that quality.

Obama is an inner-directed man in a profession filled with insecure outer-directed ones. LOL!
I love it when Liberals self actualize.
Actually, Obama is black, so Hillary has not been able to "out victimize" him on the campaign trail and the Slimes can't figure out what to do.
Headline tomorrow: "Women and Minorities Hardest Hit."

Well, you’re certainly right about hildebeast, osama, breck girl, the menace, huckleberry, and pallbearer.
To: Zakeet
David Brooks --> Obama is the * bomb * --> dismisses Hildabeast for zero personality and qualifications...
Is this a back-handed endorsement for Obama from the NYT?

Hard to believe the N.Y. Times lips aren’t squarely on Mrs. Clintons big butt.

Same here. I recently read an article in which it was stated she really hasn’t accomplished anything worthy of mention since she became Senator.

David Brooks is the former editor of the Weekly Standard. He’s the closest thing the NY Times has to a conservative. Figures he would get in a dig on Hillary while she’s getting smacked around. I’m still trying to decide who would be easier to beat: likeability-challenged DLCer Hillary or charming true blue liberal Obama.

“With the presidency, character and self-knowledge matter more than even experience”. There are reasons to think that Fred Thompson is the right choice for president.
Now the article reads correctly!

And what makes you think that I can't force the Times to Assume the Position again? They've kissed my butt and fawned on me before. Don't worry, they will bow the knee again and resume the appropriate posture.

Don’t believe that NYT would pick Obama vs Clinton.. I think this slight negative article for Clinton is just a ploy. So that later they can say that Clinton is a come back kid.

No, but David Brooks has, just as he is doing here about Obama.
