It took this battle over health care to reveal the bloom coming off this rose, but that was coming. It began with the spectacle of the president, impelled to go abroad to apologize for his nation—repeatedly. It is not, in the end, the demonstrators in those town-hall meetings or the agitations of his political enemies that Mr. Obama should fear. It is the judgment of those Americans who have been sitting quietly in their homes, listening to him.

Thanks for posting this, Colin. I was going to post something earlier on that piece by Dorothy Rabinowitz, but didn’t have the time. It’s one of the best things I’ve read about Obama.

Agreed, an outstanding column. Howard picked up on it earlier today, as did Jennifer Rubin at NZ Contentions. Tom Maguire also had some interesting comments, also relating it to some observations from the left under the familiar theme of “Who is this guy?”
