David Brooks: Obama gets a ‘pass’ for reacting with calmness on ‘chaotic’ Middle East policy

I wonder what Mr. Brooks would consider to be the difference between “calm” and apathetically lethargic and treasonous inaction.

[mikrofon]

Sorta like voting “Present” on crucial legislation....

[American Constitutionalist]

No, Reagan still holds that title....

Perhaps ? a political cartoonist can draw a cartoon of Reagan being Teflon, and Obama being protected from his scandals and mistakes by a screen of Teflon by the media.

[American Constitutionalist]

The devil also has no conscience.

[Venturer]

He knew about it 3 days before it happened why should he get excited.

[Twinkie]

“Besides, Obama was calm because his pals in the Muslim Brotherhood were gaining power.”

Yep; in a nut shell. - He’s a COLD jive turkey; that one.

[captmar-vell]

detached and aloof and without empathy,

to me evidences sociopathic traits in the face of the murder and carnage in Libya,

wasn’t there a report that when he was told what was happening, he just went off to sleep? 3 am phone call indeed

i wonder what does light a fire under this guy besides golf and a saul alinksy manual,

How do so called journalists like this hold a job? Is this indicative of the loss common sense in all of that whole profession?

[SoFloFreeper]

The crease impressed Brooks. So why should we listen to her?

[captmar-vell]

Its truly bizarre this year, I’ve never seen it this in-your-face before. The ‘journalists’ are not even pretending to hide their bias. Are they self-deluded into thinking their presenting some unassailable truth?

I think we may actually be seeing a small application of what Paul told us is coming,

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

[ShorelineMike]

[David] Brooks suggested Obama deserves a pass for remaining calm throughout the crisis …

It sounded so much better in the original German: "die Ruhe des Grabes."

[Kickass Conservative]

He isn't Teflon, he's Flubber.

Things slide off Teflon. With Obama, things accelerate away from him at an ever increasing speed.

[Cincinna]

I guess Brooks is still enchanted by the crease in Obama’s pants.

“i wonder what does light a fire under this guy besides golf and a saul alinksy manual,”

I am almost afraid to find out what would light a fire under him, I quite certain if he acted on them with the same brand of attentiveness that he used to pick his “March madness” brackets, the results for this country would be catastrophic.
