David Brooks Does Not Like Obama As A Democrat

The conservative op-ed writer for the NYT admitted that he has been a sap. He liked the Obama who tried to work with Republicans to implement bipartisan solutions to our problems that Republicans rejected because they did not get everything that they wanted. Obama's recent speech in which he announced his intention to let the Bush tax cuts expire was the last straw for him. He can go back to being a sap for the GOP which has done everything that it can to destroy his presidency.

I like the new David Brooks who puts on his team uniform so that there is no question about where his loyalties lie. I also like the new Obama who has apparently decided which team he is on. I agree with Brooks that this is electoral politics on his part but its good that he has decided that its better to campaign as Democrat than to run as a Republican Lite.
