David Brooks Dismayed

By on 3.3.09 @ 10:05AM

David Brooks is surprised to find President Obama is not the centrist he imagined him to be. 

I am flabbergasted.

How can it be that so many people of less prodigious intelligence (including me) clearly saw that the far left is Obama's comfort zone and that he would govern from it while men like David Brooks and Christopher Buckley didn't know better?

I mean, you would think that a lifetime of doing this stuff professionally would confer a little judgement.
