The Pundits Are Catching On

George Will has a good take on the State of the Union address with this gem buried inside.
Wednesday night's debut of Obama as avenging angel of populism featured one of those opaque phrases -- the "weight of our politics" -- that third-rate speechwriters slip past drowsy editors. Obama seems to regret the existence in Washington of ... everyone else. He seems to feel entitled to have his way without tiresome interventions in the political process by the many interests affected by his agenda for radical expansion of the regulatory state.
Elsewhere, lots of folks are picking up on what Peggy Noonan saw - the internal contradictions of someone who say Washington is broken, but Washington needs to fix all of our problems.
