David Brooks' latest column is quite interesting. But it only hints around the issue, although quite cleverly enough that I can guess that Brooks' thesis is exactly what I'm thinking it is ... but Brooks, after the whole neo=Jewish fiasco, just doesn't want to say it. Obama a "sojourner"? Not really ever "fitting in"? And that's why people don't quite fully "support" Obama?...

A few weeks ago, David Brooks tested his meme-making abilities with a column that portrayed Barack Obama as a conflicted soul: Dr. Barack and Mr. Obama. Dr. Barack is cerebral and thoughtful, Brooks wrote; Mr. Obama is calculating and, in every sense, political. The candidate himself is a tense combination of the two. I predicted that...

Brooks summarily tears apart Obama's entire career as if it's truly meaningless. Give us a break-- your shameless partisanship precedes you. You're a Rove in sheep's clothing.

David Brooks had a column yesterday pondering that certain je ne sais quois about Barack Obama that allegedly prevents Americans from fully embracing him. Toward the end, he throws out this socio-political thought balloon: If Obama is fully a member of any club − and perhaps he isn't − it is the club of smart post-boomer meritocrats. We now have a cohort of rising leaders, Obama's age...

Barack Obama's ability to stand apart means that people on almost all sides of any issue can see parts of themselves reflected in his eyes. But it does make him hard to place.

As David Brooks rightfully points out in his latest column for the New York Times, experts have been saying for months that Barack Obama would John McCain easily. Strangely, however, Obama is ‘basically tied’ with his Republican opponent in recent polls. So, why isn’t Obama destroying McCain as he was expected to? ©2008 PoliGazette. All Rights [...]

OP-ED: "Missing Dean Acheson," by David Brooks, New York Times, 1 August 2008, p. A23. A truly awful, almost embarrassing piece from Brooks, who veers from brilliance to boneheadedness faster than any writer out there. Either all net or...

Ever since the Berlin Wall fell, people have looked at the way Harry Truman, George C. Marshall, Dean Acheson and others created forward-looking global institutions after World War II, and they've asked: Why can't we rally that kind of international cooperation to confront terrorism, global warming, nuclear proliferation and the rest of today's problems?
