She used to have that "I'd like to snuggle up next to that in her fuzzy pajamas and see what happens" look about her, but then her head went all funny on her.....

I don't see how the president's position and popularity can survive the oil spill. This is his third political disaster in his first 18 months in office. And they were all, as they say, unforced errors, meaning they were shaped by the president's political judgment and instincts.
There was the tearing and unnecessary war over his health-care proposal and its cost. There was his day-to-day indifference to the views and hopes of the majority of voters regarding illegal immigration. And now the past almost 40 days of dodging and dithering in the face of an environmental calamity. I don't see how you politically survive this.
The president, in my view, continues to govern in a way that suggests he is chronically detached from the central and immediate concerns of his countrymen. This is a terrible thing to see in a political figure, and a startling thing in one who won so handily and shrewdly in 2008. But he has not, almost from the day he was inaugurated, been in sync with the center. The heart of the country is thinking each day about A, B and C, and he is thinking about X, Y and Z. They're in one reality, he's in another.

The power of the supposed MSM will prevail in preserving and this presidency for 6 more years. The MSM is NOT on a deathwatch.
Peggy Noonan is always a half mile behind the bandwagon.
“He Was Supposed to Be Competent”
Told you so Peggy.
Balls to Piggy Noonan. She was smart enough to figure out that 0bama was a loser, but chose to look the other way.
Peggy was supposed to be smart.
Peg...you are useless...retire.
The talking heads all said that Sarah was a small-town girl with no experience. Well, she has ten times as much experience as Obama, Hillary, and Biden put together. More important, she has wisdom, values, and common sense.
“He Was Supposed to Be Competent”
Told you so Peggy.
She knew from the start. Better to read her than hear her winey voice.
IMO, her figuring out Obama was a loser came way after the fact of his election, and choosing to look the other way wasn't a factor. Now, she's coming to the table because she has no alternative.
What a moron. The self-satisfied, ever smug Peggy Noonan writes this article as if she knew Obama was a fraud all along. As if she’s amazed he got elected in the first place.
Psssst, Peggy. You supported him! You were so taken by his upscale urban charm, and the making of history in electing a half black president, that you ignored his paper thin resume.
Please go away Peggy Noonan. And take Newt Gingrich with you.
He’s the Manchurian Candidate.
Nobody with more than half a brain thought we was competent, Peggy. Only air headed emotional train wrecks like you thought so.
“The power of the supposed MSM will prevail in preserving and this presidency for 6 more years. The MSM is NOT on a deathwatch.”
That would be SCM - State Controlled Media.
But I agree with you, the SCM has considerable power, and they are using every bit of it to keep the Obama presidency afloat.
She used to have that "I'd like to snuggle up next to that in her fuzzy pajamas and see what happens" look about her, but then her head went all funny on her.....
Gee Pegs, some of us knew that while he was still a candidate. Too bad you elites were looking for “well-spoken” instead of competent. Being inside the beltway has killed your braincells. You used to be relevant.
Cindie
Only you thought so Peggy.
I knew he would be incompetent.
You swooned all over him, Peggy, and just now realize what actual conservatives realized over two years ago?
