More on the elited "educated" class

They aren't like "us." We don't know anything. We are out here in flyover country paying the taxes for the people like Nancy Pelosi who fly all over the world in private military jets (who protect her), eating mignon and appetizers, staying at 5 star restaurants and laughing at us dumb shmucks. David Brooks, you need to learn a few lessons outside your ivy league education.

People in newsrooms all over the country decided that someone who talked the way they did was the cure for what ailed the country, and are stunned to find out it is not.

His cosmopolitan cool hasn't defanged the terrorists, who still want to kill us, disarmed North Korea or derailed Iran's bomb. His knowledge of Burke hasn't united the country, which is now more divided and angry than ever.

Obama, Brooks concedes, has "recoiled" the country, but seems at a loss to say why.

Could it be that The One has misjudged both the times and the country?; that he made a strategic mistake in pushing for health care (and a tactical one in trusting the Congress)?; that he created a nightmare for most in his party, who face epic losses this year? Heaven forfend.
