Kliphnote: Maybe, just maybe the elitist Noonan has seen the light.

Obama increasingly comes across as devious and dishonest.
Something's
happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined
not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His
supporters would say, "Nothing new there," but actually I think there
is. I'm referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non-birther right.
Among them the level of dislike for the president has ratcheted up
sharply the past few months.
It's not due to the election, and it's
not because the Republican candidates are so compelling and making such
brilliant cases against him. That, actually, isn't happening.
What is happening is that the
president is coming across more and more as a trimmer, as an operator
who's not operating in good faith. This is hardening positions and
leading to increased political bitterness. And it's his fault, too. As
an increase in polarization is a bad thing, it's a big fault.
