I Miss Barack Obama
NYT ^ | Feb 9, 2016 | David Brooks

Posted on 02/09/2016 8:17:07 AM PST by Baynative

Hillary Clinton is constantly having to hold these defensive press conferences when she's trying to explain away some vaguely shady shortcut she's taken, or decision she has made, but Obama has not had to do that.

He and his wife have not only displayed superior integrity themselves, they have mostly attracted and hired people with high personal standards. ~snip~

He's exuded this basic care and respect for the dignity of others time and time again. Let's put it this way: Imagine if Barack and Michelle Obama joined the board of a charity you're involved in. You'd be happy to have such people in your community. Could you say that comfortably about Ted Cruz? The quality of a president's humanity flows out in the unexpected but important moments.

This man really does seem mentally deficient. I would not want the Obama's anywhere near my community. How do people with this sort of mind set end up in high paying careers and command the respect of others?

It must come from living in the bubble where they all give each other rewards for basically continuing to breathe.

IKR! I am surprised that the man wasn’t having an orgasm while he wrote the piece.

We haven’t had the FBI investigations of Obama…yet. If a real conservative takes the White House, they will come because Obama has acted outside his executive duties many times. He has definitely been working for the enemy. Example: The outrageous Bergdahl/Terrorists swap.

Watch 10 seconds of this video without sound and imagine it is David Brooks on the receiving end.

Did the “conservative” opinion writer for the New Yawk Slimes every indicate his physical proximity to Senator Obama when he inspected the “crease in his slacks?”

No, Obama has not been temperamentally perfect. Too often he's been disdainful, aloof, resentful and insular. But there is a tone of ugliness creeping across the world, as democracies retreat, as tribalism mounts, as suspiciousness and authoritarianism take center stage.

Obama is the most divisive President we have ever had. He is responsible for tribal politics. He is the authoritarian who governs by executive order. Obama's weakness and lack of leadership is creating the chaos around the world. This is what happens when the US retreats from its global leadership role.

David Brooks stares at his Barack photo and listens to his Climax album:

`Precious and few are the moments we two can share
Quiet and blue like the sky I’m hung over you

And if I can’t find my way back home
It just wouldn’t be fair
Precious and few are the moments we two can share

Baby, it’s you on my mind, your love is so rare
Being with you is a feeling I just can’t compare

And if I can’t hold you in my arms
It just wouldn’t be fair
‘Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share’

and Chrissie Matthews burns with jealousy.
