The Unwisdom of Barack Obama

2014-09-22

Is he weak? Arrogant? Ambivalent? Don't overthink the president

Peggy Noonan continues her attempt to atone for her gushing endorsement of Champ in 2008. In this piece (may be behind a paywall) she correctly understands the difference between intelligence (in her words, "brightness") and judgment. However much of the former Champ has, he's woefully lacking in the latter.

Margaret Thatcher once said that Ronald Reagan "had a second-class intellect but a first class temperament." With Champ it has been the reverse and has been so for his entire life. That is why Reagan was successful by any measure, and Champ has not.
