Guess He Showed Us by digby Peggy Noonan is enjoying a little holiday cheer in the afternoons: A deep and perhaps the deepest benefit of the speech was that a Democratic president asserted compellingly, and with a high degree of certitude and conviction, that the United States is and has been immersed in a long struggle with intractable enemies. For eight years we heard this from Republicans. Halfway...

Obama Redeclares War (Peggy Noonan, 12/05/09, WSJ) [I]t appears we're seeing some things we've not seen before. The president of the United States gave a war speech, and the next day the nation didn't seem to rally around him. This is not the way it's gone in the past. Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, George W. Bush—when they addressed the nation about the wars they led, they received immediate...

Yes, I’m back to critiquing Peggy Noonan’s columns. But please forgive me; there’s a personal reason this time. As vanderleun has pointed out, she seems to have stolen my meme: After the president announced his plan he seemed to slip in, “After 18 months, our troops will begin to come home.” Then came the [...]

It was reassuring to see a Democratic president admit that we're "in a real struggle with bad people," writes Peggy Noonan of Obama's Afghanistan speech, but it's too bad his supporters don't seem to be on board. Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and George W. Bush had a political base that...

Or let's put it this way, she's willing to pretend she has no idea what public polling is when it suits the interest of her column. So she writes an entire piece about how devastating Obama's bow in Japan was to the president's reputation (the image "took off" and became "iconic") without mentioning that, oh yeah, a strong majority of Americans approved of the bow. And even a majority...

The Obamicon Peggy Noonan makes some interesting points Barack Obama should heed about why an image can become shorthand for a Presidency: In a presidency, a picture or photograph becomes iconic only when it seems to express something people already think. When Gerald Ford was spoofed for being physically clumsy, it took off. The picture of Ford losing his footing and tumbling as he came down the steps...

That's Positronic Universal Peggy Noonan Translator for those of you playing along at home. I trust everyone was out doing family stuff when she wrote this about Obama over the weekend: This in turn reminded me of a surprising thing I observe among loyal Democrats in informal settings and conversations: No one loves Barack Obama. Half the American people say they support him, and Democrats are still...

Hillsdale College Professor Paul Rahe writes: I am not a great admirer of Peggy Noonan as a journalist. Most of the time, she aims at capturing a mood, and I generally find the lack of analysis and the sentimentalism so visible in her work offputting. There are, however, moments when she hits the ball out of the park, and she did so just a few days ago in The Wall Street Journal . Noonan began by...

B.O. LOSING HIS LUSTER "A surprising thing I observe among loyal Democrats in informal settings and conversations: No one loves Barack Obama. Half the American people say they support him, and Democrats are still with him. But there were Bill Clinton supporters who really loved him. George W. Bush had people who loved him. A lot of people loved Jack Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. But no one seems...

Peggy Noonan has a piece about Obama's declining support among two key constituencies, the Democratic media and the Demoratic foreign policy establishment, but what caught my eye is this: Mr Obama is in a hard place. Health care hangs over...

Peggy Noonan takes a harsh view of the way Obama’s first year has unfolded. In a presidency, a picture or photograph becomes iconic only when it seems to express something people already think.

Via Wonkette, President Obama yesterday announced the formation of something called the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission . Truthfully, we don't give much of a shit, but for the salient fact that Peggy Noonan has been appointed to serve on said august commission. Presumably this explains the misspelling of the sainted man's name? If, as it appears, the WH's strategy is to coddle Peggy with one hand...

This is my response to a cruel article on Sarah Palin by Peggy Noonan. She had supportive and positive words regarding the possibility of an Obama administration. Since she displayed positive words of support for Obama, how conservative could she really be? Peggy Noonan’s roots are firmly grounded in and around New York City . She was raised in one of the most elitist and liberal cities in the country.
