Our president came down from the mountaintop.
He had applied the freshness of his independent thought to the critical matters at hand. He had convened his seminar, reviewed the reviews, analyzed the intelligence every which way, thought anew about everything, and lo and behold, he finally emerged to tell us some stuff we already knew.
We are under attack.
There is evil in the world.
Yemen is a dangerous place that breeds people who want to kill us.
Al Qaeda is determined to attack inside the United States.
Al Qaeda is casting a wide recruiting net for vulnerable young men.
Aspirational terrorists eventually become operational terrorists.
Our airports are not safe.
Metal detectors can’t detect nonmetal explosives sewn into underwear.
Our incomplete no-fly lists are more like “Welcome aboard†lists.
We still can’t connect the dots, even when the dots are flying at us like 3-D asteroids.
The sun rises in the east.
Two plus two equals four.
“We must do better,†Captain Obvious said Thursday at the White House, “in keeping dangerous people off airplanes while still facilitating air travel.†...

:o :banghead: All that's missing is, "Bush was right." :banghead: :o I'm not holding my breath, though.

Must've misplaced her kneepads and then sobered up for the first time since November 2008.

January is a popular month for giving up alcohol, it'll be completely out of her system by now. She'll be back to form next month. :-)

She dated Michael Douglas.

MD has been pretty harsh towards Obama for at least the last month or so.
Someone at the White House must have peed in her Cheerios the way she's been writing about Obama and his Merry Band of Idiots.... :uhsure:

I don't see that much of her on the tube or read her column normally, my impression from what I've heard of her on weekend shows lately is that she was still a true believer in Teh One, but had begun looking for some 'Wreckers' on whom the blame could be placed for the failure of Comrade Stalin's ummm, "Obama's" Five Year Plan.

I don't read her either....but have heard about several of her recent columns....either on Fox, internet, or through emails. I think a few have been mentioned here at CC too...

I think this is MoDo's second column critical of Obama that came out of this incident. I don't think she's had anything like a Damascus Road experience wrt Obama, but I think it is dawning on her that his Egyptian River approach to the WoT is neither working nor even serious.

Don't get too excited. Down column she takes a swipe at George Bush, her second favorite target behind Sarah Palin:
Our professorial president is no feckless W., biking through Katrina. He is no doubt on top of the crisis in terms of studying it top to bottom. But his inner certainty creates an outer disconnect.
No, reenie, the big 0 wasn't "biking through Katrina." He was putting through a terrorist attack. And it took him two weeks to figure out which way the wind was blowing.
Dowd's still an idiot.

She dated Michael Douglas.
Yes and in keeping with tradition...anytime a MoDo article is mentioned...

That's how they hold on to their street cred among their peers..... for every swipe at O, two must be taken at W.
