Peggy Noonan really is loopy. I mean really. I don't even know how else to describe her meandering, overstuffed opinion pieces in the WSJ. Although I said I wouldn't read any of her columns again, the title of the latest one just drew me in: "Obama Dons the Presidential Cloak" . Then, the image clinched it , because I just had to see how an image of a "white" President Obama putting on a "black" Presidential cloak supported her position (look at the image and you'll see what I mean). Ms. Noonan is of the opinion that President Obama took command and materialized into The President during that speech. Ms. Noonan is about as grounded in her thinking as a hellium baloon. I fell asleep during the first 8 minutes of President Obama's speech. It was that predictable, stilted, and dishonest. When I awoke and forced myself to listen to the entire recording later that night, my opinion didn't change.
I don't know how Peggy Noonan continues to ignore the nonesense coming out of the mouth of President Obama without acknowledging that he is engaging in rhetoric as dishonest as that of a Marx, Lenin, Castro, or Chavez. Someday, someone will write a book chronicling the American economic and social decline of 2008-2009. I suspect Ms. Noonan will be quoted in that book. If we're all alive to read it, I'm betting she won't be happy, but those of us who are watching from "outside" the Washington/NY/LA bubble will be thrilled.
