Peggy Noonan Embraces the Silent Killer in the White House

I can't tell if Peggy Noonon is shamelessly stumping for a job from anybody, regardless of whether the agenda is lethal to the victims of the tyrant she's baiting with her drivel, or whether age has simply been unkind to her higher cerebral function.

"He just does what he thinks is right"

Cannon to the left of him, cannon to the right of him, cannon in front of him volley and thunder. That's our president's position on the political battlefield now, taking it from all sides. And the odd thing, the unique thing in terms of modern political history, is that no one really defends him, no one holds high his flag. When was the last time you put on the radio or TV and heard someone say "Open line Friday—we're talking about what it is we like best about Barack Obama!" When did you last see a cable talking head say, "The greatness of this man is as obvious as it is unnoticed"?

Is the left out there on the Internet and the airwaves talking about him? Oh, yes. They're calling him a disappointment, a sellout, a DINO—Democratic in name only. He sold out on single-payer health insurance, and then the public option. He'll sell you out on your issue too.

The pundits and columnists, dreadful people that they are, call him cold, weak, aloof, arrogant, entitled.

So let's denounce him again.

Wait—it's Christmas. Let's not. There are people who deeply admire the president, who work with him and believe he's doing right. This week, this column is their forum. They speak not for attribution to avoid the charge of suckupism.

She goes on to offer a few cunning stories about the Obamas crafted to incite ill will against the people who are defending the unborn, the elderly, the poor and the freedoms Obama is threatening in our Country.

What's next? A column on the Feast of the Epiphany about bringing Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab gold, frankincense and myrrh?

Talk about misplaced empathy.

Useful idiot.
