No, it wasn't Frank Rich, or Maureen Dowd.

That would be way too much too expect, especially of Rich, 
who is a Billy Jay Fellowship winner, and the the only exception 
to the "even a broken clock is right twice a day" rule. The columnist would be David Brooks, and on June 20th he 
wrote a piece in the Times called "The Two Obamas." It's worth reading. And remembering. It may get read, but I doubt it will be remembered. Obama is
on the fast track to sainthood, and I don't think anyone can 
stop the train. There is hope, however. And it lies in the price of gasoline. You see, when Saint Obama
gets to Washington, he might not be able to raise taxes. Even 
on those evil corporations that provided him with a $4 million dollar
income last year. But remember, his advice to college graduates. 
"Ambition is not a good thing." Except for him. Gas prices are not coming down soon. A windfall profits tax will 
not bring down the price of gasoline, it will raise it higher. The 
public won't stand for higher gasoline prices and higher taxes. No matter how silky his voice and words, Americans can count.
And if they have less money under Obama than with Bush, they 
are not going to be happy. Add the gazillions of dollars for absolutely
idiotic green projects, and he will be a one-term disaster. Brooks chronicles Obama's record. He voted "present" 130 times 
in Illinois. He took no stand on any controversial issue. He did nothing in the U.S.Senate. Brooks calls him "Fast Eddie." And a ruthless opportunist. I'm more interested in the ruthless opportunist. Like our old friend Billy Jay, Obama may know what to do to get to
the White House. The problem is knowing what to do when you get 
there. Dick Morris says Billy Jay spent the first four years learning how
to be President. Then it didn't matter anymore. I don't think Obama has fours years to learn the job. In Washington,
most of your friends have deserted the ship by then. Brooks is ambivalent about the two Obamas. He shouldn't be. From the big saddle, Jim Whelan
