Low-information Leaders

The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan, blogging about the public's perception of President Obama in the wake of the Obamacare meltdown:

Commentators like to decry low-information voters—the stupid are picking our leaders. I think the real problem is low-information leaders. They have so little experience of life and have so much faith in magic—in media, in words—that they don’t understand people will get angry at you when you mislead them, and never see you the same way again.

An interesting admission from a crackerjack wordsmith and speech-writer.
