“ Just days before President Barack Obama was sworn into the the presidency, Washington Post columnist George Will hosted a party attended by several prominent conservative pundits — CNBC's Larry Kudlow, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot and New York Times columnist David Brooks, among others. Brooks' apparent impression after that party was that Obama was 'a Burkean' — and not a strict ideologue — who understood the 'organic nature of change.' On Thursday's 'The Laura Ingraham Show,' Brooks said he still admired Obama, but conceded the president was more liberal than he originally thought. 'Yeah, I still like him — admire him personally,' Brooks said. 'He's certainly more liberal than I thought he was "Good point: Obama really is kinda liberal, isn't he? Next we'll move on to the really tough ones, like water being wetter than you originally thought, and the sun being hotter than you originally thought. Baby steps." - Jim Treacher ”
