""Dad. You. Me. Hillary. Jeb, Chelsea, Juanita, .... "

Barack Obama has a great thinking look. I mean the look he gets on his face when he's thinking, not the look he presents in debate, where they all control their faces knowing they may be in the reaction shot and fearing they'll look shrewd and clever, as opposed to open and strong. I mean the look he gets in an interview or conversation when he's listening and not conscious of his expression. It's a very present look. He seems more in the moment than handling the moment. I've noticed this the past few months, since he entered the national stage. I wonder if I'm watching him more closely than his fellow Democrats are.

""Dad. You. Me. Hillary. Jeb, Chelsea, Juanita, .... "
No wonder our best and brightest look at this clown circus that is American Politics in the boomer era and say “Screw this for a sad sick joke”.
Peggy writes beautifully even if she has to build up some of the other Dims to rip down the Clinton crime family.
We have a country full of intelligent, educated, innovative thinkers and all the powers that be choose are puppets to haul their agendas around.
Clinton, Bush, Clinton, Bush, now Hillary is talking about Bill being an integral part of her administration.
Baloney! Please. Give us some choice. Isn’t there a person out there who is not crony-connected and just a continued same ‘ol, same ‘ol thing!?
Or is any choice in this election just an illusion?
I ask this of both liberals and conservatives and indi’s. Where is the choice? Who picked these people on the left and right to represent the parties? All of them are ridiculous representations!
The end of the article expresses exactly how I feel and why I support Duncan Hunter rather than those who have the ins with the Republican financial donors.
The most important part is the money lines. Power is expensive. The second most important part is the word "winner." The Bushes are winners; the Clintons are winners. We know this, they've won. The Bushes are wired into the Republican money-line system; the Clintons are wired into the Democratic money-line system. For a generation, two generations now, they have had the same dynamics in play, only their friends are on the blue team, not the red, or the red, not the blue.
They are, both groups, up and ready and good to go every election cycle. They are machines. . . .
Is this good for our democracy, this air of inevitability? Is it good in terms of how the world sees us, and how we see ourselves? Or is it something we want to break out of, like a trance?
It would be understandable if they were families of a most extraordinary natural distinction and self-sacrifice. But these are not the Adamses of Massachusetts we're talking about. You've noticed, right?
The Globalist cabal marches on.

That speech is one of many speeches that Noonan wrote and that many admire.
I also loved this piece:
http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/?id=110006523
It’s worth reading to the end of the article. I think Noonan knows her game. She writes not to the base of the Republican party but as a moderate that reaches out across party lines with a basically conservative viewpoint (who does the article ultimately attack? Hillary Clinton).
It's one of the largest voting bases (at least on our side), the Temper Tantrum voter.
Think, “RULING CLASS”!
Think, “PITCH FORKS!”
I don't know about Dodd, but Joe Biden is thoughtful, responsible, and well-qualified.
Wrong on issues? Yes. I would never vote for him.
But a system which has Hillary EFFIN' Clinton ahead of a man like Biden for the leftist party nomination is seriously troubled, which I think was Peggy's point.
and
Has the Democratic Party noticed it actually has some impressive candidates?
and
(Joe Biden) He is impressive. Why don't the Democrats notice?
and
Chris Dodd is ...sophisticated...one of the grownups
I could'nt read any further.
Poor Peggy. It doesn't look like she'll ever get over not being recognized by the Bush administration as the end all she had become in her own mind during the Reagan years. She was actually very good then. But she's become the poster child for "a woman scorned" - in addition, she often sounds like she had a personal crush on Bush, who wouldn't look at her or any other woman sideways in that way.
Peggy has been an embarrassment to her former self for some years now, but with this article, I think she's jumped the final shark.
One can wonder if she isn't coddling up to the rats thinking maybe THEY will recognize her obvious omnipotent abilities...
