Anyone who knows me knows that I would never be mistaken for a conservative. I'm not so far left that I'd tip the boat over, but I am definitely a liberal. But I believe in the saying keep your friends close and your enemies closer. So I read the Wall Street Journal. I read Peggy Noonan fairly regularly, and I rarely agree with her. But this time around, I think she has a point.
Peggy is sitting in AnyAirport, America at Gate 14. She's tuning out Wolf Blitzer as he talks of the Pennsylvania primaries. And she's looking around realizing who Barak Obama's real enemy is. It's not Clinton or McCain. It's the average American who understands, truely feels, what patriotism is. The people of middle America who see the understanding in McCain's patriotism and in Clinton's time in Arkansas. The America that realizes Bush wasn't the president they could sit down and have a beer with. Peggy sees what Barak is missing, she sees the America that is beginning to get a whiff of Barak's elitism.
