I remember when you were swooning like a bobby-soxer over The Guy With So Many Teeth.
At that time, you were probably so buzzed with booze and 'bama that you didn't notice that there were no long-term friends of Obama, no girlfriends, nobody who could even remember him from Columbia. We out in Flyover noticed and knew. No proud professors. No affectionate neighbors. His only friend, Jarrett, seems to function as a kind of nanny.
Nothing but an endless line of grifters who held the next door open for The Guy With So Many Teeth.
Ms. Noonan has been a middle-aged Obama groupie and indefatigable re-worder and interpreter of Mister Obama's actual meanings and intentions since 07, and there's no calling any of this back.
She concludes her typically schizophrenic (covering her criticisms with compliments) piece by writing...
He is not a devil, an alien, a socialist. He is a loser. And this is America, where nobody loves a loser.
Ms. Noonan surely knows she's wrong about the "socialist" statement; however she has so much emotional capital invested in the man that she provides a counterexample for an article about how little emotional attachment people have w Obama.

Posting this to you will serve to remind me that I, once again, read a Peggy Noonan article, but, it was worth it to post this: You write well. Keep it up.
