Peggy Noonan: Government ... will handle nothing well.

Peggy Noonan slams President Obama's handling of the Gulf (of Mexico) crisis in today's Wall Street Journal. She describes him as aloof and out of touch, which is not the first time he has been labeled as such.

Noonan says that there have been three major catastrophes in Obama's first 18 months in office: the process of passing health care reform; the indifference to the massive problem of illegal immigration and unsecured borders (see the video linked on this site), and; the Gulf spill. He has, she says, fumbled all three crises.

In the end, without making a direct link, she points out what the Tea Party has been saying all along:

But Republicans should beware, and even mute their mischief. We're in the middle of an actual disaster. When they win back the presidency, they'll probably get the big California earthquake. And they'll probably blow it. Because, ironically enough, of a hard core of truth within their own philosophy: when you ask a government far away in Washington to handle everything, it will handle nothing well.
