Peggy Noonan: Where is the competence? (She's lost her former admiration for Obama)

[Secret Agent Man]

Never was there. Can’t lose what he never had.

(Yawn, stretch) “I’m sorry peggy, did you say something? (must have dozed off about a hundred of your articles ago)

[Tempest]

I've lost all respect for her and her elitist mentality.

[RedStateGuyTrappedinCT]

Many of us wrote extensively about Obama’s pattern of avoidance during the election — and suggested that Democrats try Obama in a lesser executive position first, such as Governor of Illinois, before nominating him for the top spot, in order to make sure he was up for the job.

I would have been happy if he had at least worked his way up from fry-cook to shift manager to manager. That would have been more executive experience than he showed up to the White House with in Jan '09.

the President has been voting “present” for most of the first five weeks of the disaster.

That's a simple and perfect comment about this guy. He's not a leader; as a "community organizer" he was this "star" his neighbors gushed over--he was never in a hostile room, never had to bring unreconcilable sides together. As he admitted himself, he was a screen on which people projected what they WANTED to believe him to be.

I wish Americans would remember this the next time they vote. They won't. Maybe we'll win this year, maybe even drive him out of office in 2012. But then another lib spouting bullshit about free everything for everyone will come along--or a conservative in Washington will soften and want to show "compassion"--and we'll be right back in the hole again.

We tried to tell ya Peggy. He won’t respect you in the morning.

[devane617]

I lost all respect for PN long ago. She is getting what she deserves.

[goodnesswins]

ANYONE who WAS competent could see Obama was an INCOMPETENT....BEFORE he was elected.....soooo...Peggy, what’s that make YOU?

[discipler]

Oh Peggy, Peggy, Peggy. You were fooled and have shown yourself to be an emotional and weak person. Lots of common men and women in America saw through Obama. Too bad for you because there’s no one on the left or the right side that respects your opinion now.

[YHAOS]

You’re late, Peggy. The party’s over.

[paudio]

Where was the competence when she fell in love with 0bama?

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

Where is Peggy Noonan’s competetence?

[max americana]

Never was there. Can’t lose what he never had.

Xactly’. Cant lose something that “Mr. 57 states” cant even comprehend.

[Tzimisce]

How bad is Obama?

Even RINOs are throwing up their arms in frustration....

[Redbob]

Obama’s really doing bad if he’s even lost Peggy Noonan!

And Noonan lost all credibility long ago when she refused to look at Obama critically, preferring to see only the icon of “a black President.”

[Redbob]

". It’s not good to have a president in this position—weakened, polarizing and lacking broad public support—less than halfway through his term."

Oh no?

Well I think it beats the hell out of having him popular and successful, headed for another Congressional majority and a second 4-year term!

Maybe Peggy doesn't see it that way, but her judgment is as deeply flawed as Obama's!

[devere]

Go away Peggy.
Your 15 minutes of fame is done.

[Clock King]

Here ya go, Peggy. Feel better?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Just following the political winds and nothing more.
