She is so long as she cranks something like this out every now and then. From her latest column:
The President who is always talking about wanting to be perfectly clear is ever more opaque. The One, who owes his presidency to the intense feeling he stirred up, turns out to be a practical guy who can’t handle intense feeling…
Too lofty to pay heed to the daily bump and grind of politics, Obama has failed to present himself as someone with the common touch. And to the extent that people don’t know him or don’t get him, he becomes easier to demonize.
Obama is the victim of the elevated expectations he so skillfully created in 2008.
Though, I’d hardly call the President a victim of himself, for once, I agree with her on these few observations.

Being mostly ignorant of Dowd's editorial writings [while being aware of her extremely liberal personae], I am truly shocked at these noted statements from her. If by chance SHE is [or has been] now understanding of who/what he is [and has been], maybe, just maybe, there is a long distance chance that most all Americans will/have awakened to his extremity!!!!!!!!

This lady, and I use the term in its most liberal or loose context, is nothing but a hypocrite. Even when supposedly criticizes the One, she praises him while taking cheap shots at his opponents. To wit: "... he becomes easier to demonize." He's not being demonized, he's being criticized because in spite the lame media covering up for him, he's shown himself not to be a victim, but a demagogic fraud.

Dowd wrote some hilarious columns after Bill got caught with the Devil in the Blue Dress. Bill was getting seriously stung, so The War Room sent Michael Douglass over to take one for the team. It worked.
But I don't think there is anyone left man enough to take that on again.

WOW! As if she cares what some airhead bimbo agrees or not with her on any topic.

Obama, lofty??
He is about a common as you can get.
Affirmative action student (no transcripts available),Stratospheric IQ (what is it?),
no political experience (community organizer)
No class or grace.
How long will it take to stop making excuses
for him and admit he is nothing but a fraud
who is manipulated by very special elites.
It is obvious that Obama doesn't have an original idea in his head. He regurgitates and
does it well.
