Now is the time at SDA when we review: Anyone who believes that dangerously naive political “maxim” is either a fool or a liar. Reality is reality. Everything else is just seven second delay.
You can read the full Noonan piece here.

Teach I studied last night… And a control freak hippie tried to mug me… I had my backpack .45 taken away by a Liberal and then the same Liberal’s steroid enhanced poodle attacked me.
:0 🙂 Morning Kate and SDA )
by this time
the Adults in the room will get my posts.
dwright.
Peggy Noonan is a treasure.
I agree that Ms Noonan is a treasure, but mostly because she puts forward opinions that I can agree with. But, she’s lucid and intelligent and makes sense (which is more than I can say for myself at times).
If Obama has lost Noonan, he’s lost everything.
Isn’t that the same Noonan that was all gaga when Oblamebush was in his ascendency? Now that he is falling even faster than he rose Noonan is bailing on him. Maybe she’s not as sentient as many would have us believe. Based on the information I had I predicted before Obambam was elected that he would be the worst president in living memory. Too bad no one wants to pay for my opinions.
Perception IS reality. But, only for politicians. For everyone else perception as far as it deviates from reality is just a measure of the degree that you are likely being fleeced by the politicians.
The first postmodern president.
“The interview reflects the weird inability of so many in political leadership now to acknowledge the role in life of . . . reality.”
Only because they are SO insulated from reality. Give a politician a couple of terms in office and he’s set for life,never to have to worry about where the next paycheque’s coming from,it comes from US,in the form of an over generous pension collected too early.
Excellent article, clearly states just how badly out of touch the current Prez really is. Unfortunately, as Noonan says,the other candidates haven’t shown much sense of reality either.
I’ll put my hopes on Cain,at least he comes from a background of real business experience,not the pie-in-the-sky of most politicians.
Didn’t Noonan more or less support Obama in 2008.  Why yes, yes she did.  Sorry, but I can’t take Peggy seriously anymore.
.
Peggy Noonan back-pedalling furiously finally getting herself to where most of us were even before he got the nomination.
This, and “conservative” David Brooks “I am sap” confession does nothing for me, tho, to be honest, I didn’t feel any special need to read Peggy’s piece and I only read Brooks though Steyn’s devasting critique.
Perception is what results from a teachable moment being seized by the spin doctor promoting an agenda of hope and change.
Reality is what rises up to bite you in the rear if you bought the spin.
Many here criticize those who supported Obama but now write articles questioning his presidency.
But given that no one can see the future with certainty, this is not hypocrisy but merely poor judgment.
Myself, I’m thankful for such articles, for when a former supporter admits that there is a problem, one can be damn sure that there truly is a problem.
For the record, rabbit, I never accused her of hypocrisy. But I’d prefer to say stupidity instead of poor judgment.
Peggy Noonan was one of Reagan’s speech-writers, right? Well, maybe she’s dined out long enough on that item in her CV.
“Perception Is Reality”
Only till the real state of things makes its will known. Its like pretending a Katrina is not happening, than when it comes, lie to say its about the people not the event.
Truth like Weather, always catches up with you eventually. No matter what lies or tricks you use to cover it up.
Look at Obama’s America. look what he’s done to Blacks there for employment. Still those folks are trying to lie an a fools paradise of lies because they have been told skin color means more than Truth.
