Quotes of the Day

Peggy Noonan, who writes for The Wall Street Journal, analyzing our unloved president:

The secret of Mr. Obama is that he isn't really very good at politics, and he isn't good at politics because he doesn't really get people.

Noonan doesn't answer the question of why he doesn't get people, so I will. Obama doesn't "get" Americans because he was raised by people who either weren't American or didn't much like Americans, even if they were U.S. citizens. Noonan concludes with acid-dipped pen:

He is not a devil, an alien, a socialist. He is a loser. And this is America, where nobody loves a loser.
