Dreaming of a Superhero - Even Maureen Dowd has turned against Obama

ON Friday night, the nation’s capital was under a tornado watch. And that was the best thing that happened to the White House all week.

As the president was being slapped by Mitt Romney for being too weak on national security, he was being rapped by a Times editorial for being too aggressive on national security.

A Times article by Jo Becker and Scott Shane revealed that the liberal law professor who campaigned against torture and the Iraq war now personally makes the final decisions on the “kill list,” targets for drone strikes. “A unilateral campaign of death is untenable,” the editorial asserted.

On Thursday, Bill Clinton once more telegraphed that he considers Obama a lightweight who should not have bested his wife. Bluntly contradicting the Obama campaign theme that Romney is a heartless corporate raider, Clinton told CNN that the Republican’s record at Bain was “sterling.”

OK, so it’s a FR tradition. Fine.

I have no idea as to why Ms. Dowd is turning on her hero. Those people make no sense, anyway.

Maybe it is the handwriting on the wall. Maybe the his primaries have her spooked. The thing here is that all the rest of the media have not turned on her like they did Cory Booker.

Cory was worried about loosing Venture Capitol for his city and they rained a ton of brick on him till he backed down. I'm not seeing this and wondering why they are not throwing Maureen under the bus.

Maybe it is the handwriting on the wall or something I can't see. But I know when the behavior changes like this - something is up.
