Peggy Noonan Completely Hit the Nail on the Head... a must read

I was in the grocery store last night picking up some chocolate chips so B could make some cookies for a Super Bowl get together that we are going to and I happen to look over at the magazines near the check out. It was all Obama. Whether it was the President and Michele, the whole family, or just the First Lady and the girls, it seemed like every single magazine in the rack had a picture of at least one Obama on it. To say that the Obama image has reached market saturation is an understatement. Obviously I didn’t vote for the President in the first place, but it seems to have gotten to a ridiculous point.

Throw on top of that the whole stimulus fiasco going on and it’s getting to the point of nausea. So when I started checking the news this morning and saw this article by Peggy Noonan, I was totally blown away. It is DEAD ON THE MONEY!

If you don’t catch any other news about he stimulus, at least read this. There aren’t any numbers or statistic, just very adept observations. Here are my favorites:

“That's what the stimulus bill was about—not knowing what time it is, not knowing the old pork-barrel, group-greasing ways are over, done, embarrassing. When you create a bill like that, it doesn't mean you're a pro, it doesn't mean you're a tough, no-nonsense pol. It means you're a slob.”

Okay, that one was a little rougher than the rest of the piece, check these ones out.

This one is the best, a total slam dunk, I wish I would have written it myself.

“That's how the Democratic establishment in the House looks, not like people who
are responding to a crisis, or even like people who are ignoring a crisis, but
people who are using a crisis. Our hopeful, compelling new president shouldn't
have gone with this bill. He made news this week by going to the House to meet
with Republicans. He could have made history by listening to them.”

And here comment about the media saturation of Obama.

When the office is omnipresent, it is demystified. Constant exposure deflates
the presidency, subtly robbing it of power and making it more common.

You have to check out the whole article, it hits the nail on the head.
