Obama Rejects Obamaism

I’m a sap, a specific kind of sap. I’m an Obama Sap.
When the president said the unemployed couldn’t wait 14 more months for help and we had to do something right away, I believed him. When administration officials called around saying that the possibility of a double-dip recession was horrifyingly real and that it would be irresponsible not to come up with a package that could pass right away, I believed them.
I liked Obama’s payroll tax cut ideas and urged Republicans to play along. But of course I’m a sap. When the president unveiled the second half of his stimulus it became clear that this package has nothing to do with helping people right away or averting a double dip. This is a campaign marker, not a jobs bill.

Of all the many things I hate about the NY Times, I think the thing I hate most is them trying to pass off David Brooks as a conservative.

Anyone who thinks Brooks is conservative is a sap.

Gonna be interesting to see what Rush does with this piece.

Brooks is not a sap, he like many other so call journalists is a failure. A failure to such a existent that the public needs to “fire” him. Fire as in ignoring his articles, his very presence. He has shown he is a man of little thought and ability who has is being presented to the public as someone who is. Maybe that is why he admired Obama from the start as they have that in common.

Brooks was a sap when he fell in love with the crease in Obummer’s pant leg, and he’s just a bigger sap now. What a dimwit.

I’m a sap, a specific kind of sap. I’m an Obama Sap. Yeah, because you threw Hillary over and she's waiting to cut you into chunks if you try to come back, now that Obama is toast. You ARE a sap, Davy - and you're not alone.
It's frickin' delicious.

I find very entertaining that David Brooks by any measure is termed a “conservative.” I don`t read his columns often (and for good reason), but nothing I`ve read of his exudes the tint of a right-of-center political philosophy. But of course, he writes for the Slimes. Anyone to the right of Pol Pot is “conservative” to them.

What does it say about this piece that it was published yesterday and there are ZERO comments? Either none of the NYT readers read Brooks OR the LIBs have no rebuttal.

Brooks is right about one thing. He is a sap. He has been for as long as I can remember.

If you want to see what the true lunatics are thinking, check out the comments on the NY Times website to Brooks’ article. I shudder thinking of our great nation.

David Brooks stuck his itty bitty finger in the air and sensed the direction the Obama wind was blowing.
