David Brooks is Just Shocked: What a Sap

Today David Brooks says he was a sap to have been fooled by Barack Obama, who Brooks thought was such a nice guy, but he was deceived because now Mr. Obama is acting all testy and saying unflattering things about Republicans who refuse to raise anyone's taxes under any circumstances.

Poor David, who is either a wuss or a more subtle Republican strategist and deviant than I had imagined. If he is the latter, than the game his is playing is to try to beguile Obama to remain in his passive mode, which would insure a one term Presidency.

I am hoping Mr. Obama has finally appreciated the nature of Mr. Boehner, McConnell, Ryan, Cantor. They talk pretty in the conference room and then step out of the room and say, "The President shows no leadership. He is not a serious man. He wants to kill the economy with taxes and over regulation. He is bad for America. Our most important goal is to be sure he does not get re elected."

And, until now, Mr. Obama has been saying, "Thank you. May I have another?"

Now, Mr. Obama has finally said, "To Hell with you."

And Mr. Brooks is oh, so offended and feels duped. The marshmallow has finally decided he'd rather be steak, if he's going to be burned anyway.
