| #12 it would include every male she's ever met |

| #11 just another in a long line of men who disappointed her. Would that include the Secret Service? |

| #8 >the president is maddeningly naïve. That was obvious to anyone with a brain thus ruling out comment writers at the NYT/Grauniad. |

| #7 Reagan didnÂ’t socialize with the press. He spent his evenings with Nancy, watching TV with dinner trays. But he knew that to transcend, you canÂ’t condescend. OMG, she's so looped, she's channeling Johnny Cochran. |

| #3 Like Bugs said: Sheesh, what a maureen! I dunno. The way I interpret the article is basically Despite what his rivals say, the president and the first lady do believe in American exceptionalism — their own, and they feel overassaulted and underappreciated. They (presumably meaning BO and Michelle) still believed, as their friend Valerie Jarrett once said, that Obama was “just too talented to do what ordinary people do.” Did you get that, folks? We disappointed them. We're just too fucking stupid to bow before His greatness and talent. Leave the rogues' gallery of Chicago mooks, fixers, bagmen, racist-crackpot preachers and terrorists aside, along with the out-and-out treason displayed the past three years...if you had any lingering doubt that Obama genuinely hates this country and its people, MoDo has (probably unintentionally) completely dispelled it. |

| #2 For eight seconds, we saw the president we had craved for three years: cool, joyous, funny, connected. Ms. Dowd should recall that eight seconds is more than a metaphor. It is the time allocated to a cowboy to stay atop a pissed off bull. In that sport, he gets graded for style, like Obama has been during the last campaign. |

| #1 For eight seconds, we saw the president we had craved for three years: cool, joyous, funny, connected. Translation: Aw, man! I can't believe we were such rubes. Talk about 3 years of buyer's remorse! At least he is campaigning again and we can feel good about...oh look, shiny! Like Bugs said: Sheesh, what a maureen! |
