David Brooks back to being in awe of Obama
Oh brother. Just days after writing a column expressing his disappointment with Barack Obama, admitting that our new President was “not who we thought he was, ” Brooks pens another column today in which he’s back in fawning mode. Why? Because after his column, he talked to four – count ‘em – four “senior members of the administration” about the claims made in his column. The result? After the first several paragraphs reading like something you’d find on BarackObama.com, and throwing a few obligatory “I still think they’re taking things too far on certain issues” lines, Brooks lovingly added:
Nonetheless, the White House made a case that was sophisticated and fact-based. These people know how to lead a discussion and set a tone of friendly cooperation. I’m more optimistic that if Senate moderates can get their act together and come up with their own proactive plan, they can help shape a budget that allays their anxieties while meeting the president’s goals.
I have to admit this is smart politics by the Obama administration. They are leading “moderate” Republicans like David Brooks on a leash, in effect making them look like fools but in the process probably winning over other “moderate” Republicans to their agenda on the pretense of “wanting to work with them in the spirit of bipartisanship.”
Nice work, Team Barry.

Totally depressing. I have never been so disgusted with the Republican party.
Davey had to go to the White House to get another injection of Kool Aid.
ST, you really need to read Iowahawk’s satire of these Cocktail Conservatives. It’s a hoot.
Shades of The Columnist Whisperer. It’s clear who’s top dog and which pack Brooks belongs to. Woof!
David Brooks is a Republican the same way as Chairman Mao was a libertarian capitalist.
Brooks is anything he wishes to perform as, and he is performing as a leftist Republican. Obviously, he hopes to tip the (empty) minds of left/moderate Republicans, a.k.a. jackass wannabees. You know, the ones most Republicans giggle at and shake their heads at, wondering how they got to the fantasyland they’re in.
In other words, he is to a moderate Republican what Obama is to a moderate Democrat. He ain’t moderate, and he ain’t moderate.
Which brings up the question: when will extremist democrats start being called extremists, like mainstream conservatives are called extremists?
