When George W. Bush did town halls like that—full of people who'd applaud if he said tomorrow we bring democracy to Saturn—it was considered a mark of manipulation and insecurity.
The first question was from a Democratic state representative from Dover named Peter Schmidt. He began, "One of the things you've been doing in your campaign to change the situation is you've been striving for bipartisanship."
"Right," the president purred. They were really holding his feet to the fire.
"My question is," Mr. Schmidt continued, "if the Republicans actively refuse to participate in a reasonable way with reasonable proposals, isn't it time to just say ,'We're going to pass what the American people need and what they want without the Republicans'?"
Stop, Torquemada, stop!
The president said it would be nice to pass a bill in a "bipartisan fashion" but "the most important thing is getting
Then came a grade-school girl. "I saw a lot of signs outside saying mean things about reforming health care" she said. Here one expected a gentle and avuncular riff on the wonderful and vivid expressions of agreement and disagreement to be seen in a vibrant democracy. But no. The president made a small grimace.

Noonan sticks her head out of her hole and sniffs the air

Peggy has truly become a liberal. She wasn’t happy when Bush governed from the center. And she thought Obama, with no history of it, would ?
What a total fool.
Thanks for nothing foolish Peggy.
Ms Noonan is dead to me.
Along with Kathleen Parker, Chris Buckley among others
What’s up with Noonan? Didn’t get invited to enough Beltway soirees? Didn’t she vote for this As*hat?
Noonan has failed the test....she’s even more vacant than ever. Hey Peggy all your big fat lib friends @WOWOW will not like you dissin’ da boy!
I’m not ready to forgive Peggy. She’s an elitist biddy who can only bring herself to critize the Bomba by criticizing Bush first.
