Peggy Noonan: How Is Wimpy Self-Pitying Richard Milhous Obama Bullying The Nation Today?
In the misty days and bestarryed eves that pile one upon the other until a bevy of swooping larks of the nation's citoyens fly as one for the gravied pomp and gloried circumstance of an Inauguration, a President must love. He must love John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell, with the lion's heart in which a lamb could safely nestle, of Love and Bigness. Also, here are the things Barack Obama is doing that annoy Peggy Noonan, in order.
Having an inauguration.
Which should be unifying.
But he was mean to John Boehner.
Which means he hates half the country.
Even though only a quarter of the country approves of John Boehner.
Because Obama said Republicans are holding the economy hostage.
And are suspicious of Social Security.
And feeding children.
Even though they said that.
And he pointed out that they call him a socialist.
As if anyone would ever do such a thing!
Which makes him paranoid, like Richard Nixon.
He won't negotiate on the debt ceiling.
So it will be his fault when they don't vote to raise the debt ceiling.
Because he said the country should pay its bills.
Why wouldn't he negotiate on that?
He said the GOP would block gun control legislation.
When they are only going to impeach him over it.
Why does Barack Obama have to accuse people of doing stuff they say they are going to do?
He has gray hair now.
Because he is trying to be the country's daddy.
Instead of an annoying genius that everybody hates.
And he is only studying the effects of violent video games.
But he should do more about it.
Instead he is focusing on guns or something.
Even though Peggy Noonan has no problem with that.
He is not being enough like Richard Nixon.

After writing Reagan's Challenger speech, Noonan should have immediately retired.
Savor.
