Not sure how a dear friend of 911 Truthers-the anti-American haters of Jews, Christians, Whiteys and Bush- can move from such an extremist position to a Centrist position in one simple speech however it will be fascinating to watch which side of the twelves sides of the great speaker’s mouth from which he shall choose to speak.

Of course, there is always adding a thirteenth side to really muddle the message.

MR.RADOSH:Why would Obama listen to Brooks? He’s already got a surfeit of lap dogs.

Of course, there is always adding a thirteenth side to really muddle the message.

That said; muddling the message is always good for the wisdom-less Intellectuals to wrap their twisted brains around and around and around until their chattering, blathering and babbling becomes ivy-league explosive.

“his romance with the future President began in 2005, when Brooks met with Obama in his Senate office, and found him to be a man with whom he was in philosophical agreement.”

“And like Obama, whom he thinks is a Burkean by temperament and philosophy, and a real intellectual like himself, that he has finally found a kindred spirit in the White House. Thus, as Sherman puts it, “Brooks’s sympathetic columns help to validate the key myth of this White House: That it is fundamentally post-partisan.”

Brooks & Obama, Echo and Narcissus? Has Echo now turned to stone?

Brook’s, the author of “Bobo’s In Paradise,” must of thought Obama was a soul brother Bobo, on the same Ivy League wave length as Brooks. It must be difficult for a grudging bourgeois bohemian like Brooks to deal with getting politically raped by the Chicago Left. Brooks is not a very good judge of political character, especially when seduced by a brown sugar baby boomer, but there was a lot of wishful thinking going on rather than sober consideration of facts and individual history. On the eve before the election, Brooks must have had visions of centrist sugar daddies dancing in the Oval Office, only to belatedly realize later that he got the right color, but the wrong man for the job. Oh well, when you live by affirmative action, you die by racial profiling.

Lets see what Obama does now. If he continues to lie and misrepresent the facts its over for him.

Prof G as you probably know all too well, writing is a craft like basket weaving. Some weavers can craft a better basket than others.

The message of the heart or the message that is conveyed, that is the essence of journalism once you are beyond the simple gymnastics of writing.

There are few on these cyber pages who trust the message nor the intention of Brooks. Being the only Conservative within a Progressive Socialist propaganda medium is a dubious position at best. A position that could still earn respect with solid Conservative writing, however job security would become an issue. Playing it safe with Marxist propagandists hardly qualifies a writer as a Conservative. Except to a Rino or a Progressive Socialist.

David Brooks is likable enough, and writes well, but he cannot fill the space vacated by William Safire.

I there are any folks in the administration tempted to follow Brook’s advice, the poor souls must be running for cover.

Obama’s trajectory is not any more tweakeable than that of an intercontinental missile in its ballistic phase. Funny: Thee guy wants to de-fund missile defense!

Misanthropius, we should not forget one of Obama’s most cherished assets, Michelle who with her charm and grace forged with a new found pride in America warmed the cold heart of America. She told us that President Wee Weed was going to ask us to work towards changing the United States and that we should all work together to improve the government and in the mean time the Wee Weed Messiah would be rewriting our history, so that we could all be proud of our past. This is the new Marxist America that Obeyme is willing to form for the good of all us.

The promise of his quasi military/political army of thugs that would be funded and armed with the same capability as our military, for what purpose no one has said; yet many of us have fairly good ideas.

The more recent development of un-Constitutional czars that are a whose who of the American Communist Party is another interesting development that portends an evil wind that is soon to encompass our once great land.

Since the end of World War II, we have never been so vulnerable to the Marxist Front. Now we have a Marxist living in the White House. Vigilance American Patriots, now is the time for vigilance if we are to keep our country from becoming a Venezuela or a Cuba.

David Brooks has sold his soul to President Obama; therefore, he has no credibility. The “moderate” from the rapidly shrinking New York Times needs to get out of his bubble from New York City & actually be with the real people in fly-over country. Brooks should move to the South & learn what it is like to be with real people. His time in the New York Times media bubble has only made him a lucid reporter playing catch-up to the Americans who already knew Obama’s true Communist colors.
