Don Surber Eviscerated Peggy Noonan
Don Surber, Donald Trump, Peggy Noonan, Russian Collusion
Peggy Noonan, in the WSJ, blamed Trump for the failed Coup (!).
Don Surber responded:
She wrote, "I'm thinking of the old ambassadors, mostly men in their 60s, 70s and 80s. They're woven into the town, solid citizens, friends of journalists, occasionally sources, and they know things. They're mostly retired, and at lunch at clubs in town often begin sentences with 'And so I told Zbig . . .' There's a bit of lost glory with them, but they care about America, are personally invested in it, love it with an old-school love, and respect systems, knowing that creativity — in art, science and diplomacy — can only be born within a certain immediate order."
Zbig is Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski, who advised LBJ and was Carter's national security adviser. On his watch, we doubled down on Vietnam (LBJ) and lost Iran and the Panama Canal under Carter.
But he made the cocktail circuit.
President Donald John Trump does not curry DC's favor. He does not need them. He is a garish playboy billionaire who saved Manhattan only to be resented by Manhattan's elitists who look down on his Outer Borough ways.
He is saving the country and the people who will in the long term benefit most — the elitists — are spitting angry.
She wrote, "Pretty quickly and to the entire edifice of Washington, it became clear Donald Trump was not a Jacksonian shock to the system, which is what his supporters think he was. He was a daily system overload, a one-man frying of the grid."
If one man, even a president, can overload a grid, then you need a better grid.
But the fact is, they did this to themselves and refuse to accept responsibility. Anyone can cut you off in traffic; you decide whether to turn that into Road Rage.
We know what she (and they) decided.
Noonan wrote, "Their fears about him weren't assuaged by trusty old hands inside the White House because those hands weren't there. They didn't join the administration, because they didn't want their résumés tainted or they thought wise counsel would never be heeded. Or because they'd signed a letter opposing him in 2016 and would never be forgiven.
"So a lot of good people didn't come in or weren't allowed in. And those who did work for the president came to seem strange — fierce, emotional, half mad themselves. There were good people there — the generals were solid — but one by one they left."
The message from DC is clear: work for The Donald and you end your career.
So much for her illusion of this crowd being public servants. If you love your country, you serve when called.
Hers is a roundabout way to blame President Trump for the attempted coup by the Deep State and the Fourth Estate, which awarded her a Pulitzer for her contributions to this effort.
She wrote, "It was all this — the president's disdain, his well-fed resentments — that not only left Washington thinking Mr. Trump was crazy. It made Washington itself a fertile field for crazy. It was in this atmosphere that the Steele dossier, with its whacked out third-rate spy fiction, became believable, that sober-minded officials reportedly wondered if they should wear wires when they met with the president.
"He destabilized the entire town."
No. The town's Road Rage against him comes from their refusal to accept the will of the people and the policies that serve America and not Washington.
She is rooting for Democrats to offer a safe choice who will calm the waters, this shaming the legacy of Ronald Reagan for whom she once worked. Oh well, she always said Dan Rather was her favorite boss.
Hers is a cry from Versailles for Sloppy Joe Biden to save them from this Orange Man who wants to Make America Great Again.
Biden's slogan is "America's Coming Back Like We Used To Be."
By America, he means the people who chatted with Zbig at cocktail parties.
But that is not going to happen. It's over.

Peggy, Catholic, Irish, and of working-class origin, is still bedazzled by the charm, prestige, and life-style of the American Elite Establishment. She fails to recognize that they are too commonly just like Scott Fitzgerald's Buchanans:
""They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

The Week Trump Proved He's Crazy
2016 Election, Donald Trump, Peggy Noonan
Peggy Noonan contends that Trump persuaded Americans this week that he's crazy.
I think this week marked a certain coming to terms with where the election is going. Politics is about trends and tendencies. The trends for Donald Trump are not good, and he tends not to change.
All the damage done to him this week was self-inflicted. The arrows he's taken are arrows he shot. We have in seven days witnessed his undignified and ungrateful reaction to a Gold Star family; the odd moment with the crying baby; the one-on-one interviews, which are starting to look like something he does in the grip of a compulsion, in which Mr. Trump expresses himself thoughtlessly, carelessly, on such issues as Russia, Ukraine and sexual harassment; the relitigating of his vulgar Megyn Kelly comments from a year ago; and, as his fortunes fell, his statement that he "would not be surprised" if the November election were "rigged." Subject to an unprecedented assault by a sitting president who called him intellectually and characterologically unfit for the presidency, Mr Trump fired back—at Paul Ryan and John McCain.
The mad scatterbrained-ness of it was captured in a Washington Post interview with Philip Rucker in which five times by my count—again, the compulsion—Mr. Trump departed the meat of the interview to turn his head and stare at the television. On seeing himself on the screen: "Lot of energy. We got a lot of energy." Minutes later: "Look at this. It's all Trump all day long. That's why their ratings are through the roof." He's all about screens, like a toddler hooked on iPad.
Mr. Trump spent all his time doing these things instead of doing his job: making the case for his policies, expanding on his stands, and taking the battle to Hillary Clinton.
By the middle of the week the Republican National Committee was reported to be frustrated, party leaders alarmed, donors enraged. There was talk of an "intervention."
Here is a truth of life. When you act as if you're insane, people are liable to think you're insane. That's what happened this week. People started to become convinced he was nuts, a total flake.
Peggy Noonan: Reliably, Spectacularly Wrong
Peggy Noonan is an embarrassment as a pundit. The poor girl must be pretty well half-baked every time she sits down to bat out a column of political pontifications. She has no keel whatsoever. Whatever disaster for the Republic or mass insanity is underway, Peggy falls madly in love with.
In 2008, Peggy was flinging her panties onto the stage at Obama rallies, and gravely advising Republicans and conservatives that "the times they were a-changing" and we had better get with the program and move with the times. The GOP was, Peggy said, a neglected, out-of-fashion and unloved old house. Barack Obama, on the other hand, was the most exciting thing Peggy had ever seen.
It's a tale of two houses. One is dilapidated, old. Everyone in the neighborhood is used to it, and they turn away when they pass. A series of people lived in it and failed to take care of it. It's run down, needs paint. The roof sags, squirrels run through the eaves. A haunted house! No, more boring. Just a house someone . . . let go.
But over here, a new house on a new plot. It's rising from the mud before your eyes. It has interesting lines, a promising façade, and when people walk by they stop and look. So much bustle! Builders running in and out, the contractors fighting with each other—"You wouldn't even have this job if it weren't for the minority set-aside!" And everyone hates the architect, who put a port-o-potty on the lawn.
But: You can't take your eyes off it. "Something being born, and not something dying." Maybe it will improve the neighborhood. Maybe the owners will be nice.
A year later, Peggy was a loyal member of the Republican opposition again, warning Barack Obama that in his ruthless drive to ram through the nationalization of one-sixth of the US economy he was "terrifying America."
But, even with Peggy dumping regularly on Obama throughout the 2012 campaign, Jeff Goldstein found it difficult to forgive Peggy Noonan for supporting Obama in 2008.
[O]ne of the women who helped guilt the American people into electing a transformative Marxist with a dubious background and no governing experience, a man who, after his drug-addled youth, hung out with domestic terrorists, academic (and activist) anti-Semites, and got his religious counsel from a man steeped in hatred of Whites and Jews, as head of the free world — while simultaneously sneering down her nose at figures like Sarah Palin, who has proven over the course of time to be every bit as prescient as Ms Noonan was bamboozed, hoodwinked, and gloriously conned — is now writing to tell us the President is not who he promised he'd be. As if we haven't been alive the last five years, or as if we were the ones whose snobbery and reflected egoism caused us to buy this charlatan's obvious and vapid bullshit in the first place.
And, here in 2016, we find Peggy at it again, jumping on the chariot of transformative change and sneering at the old fogey skeptics trying to resist the mandate of History.
If you know Trump people in real life as opposed to through social media, if they are your friends and family members, you understand that "rage" doesn't do them justice. They dislike the Republican Party, which they believe has consistently betrayed them, but Trump people in person are just about the only cheerful people in politics this year. They actually have hope—the system needs a hard electric shock, he's just the man to do it, and if it doesn't work they'll fire him. They're having a good time. Here I throw in a moment I had in Manhattan Thursday afternoon. I was standing on a corner on York Avenue in the 60s when a cab screeched across two lanes to stop in front of me. "I am voting for Trump!" the driver yelled through an open window. "You want to know why? He is neither right or left!" He then laughed and sped on. Not all Trump supporters are quiet about it.
Peggy even has some advice for Trump opponents:
Those who oppose Mr. Trump should do it seriously and with respect for his supporters. If he is not conservative, make your case and explain what conservatism is. No one at this point needs your snotty potshots or your supposedly withering one-liners. I confess I have lost patience with many of those declaring they cannot in good conscience support him, not because reasons of conscience are not crucial—they are, and if they apply they should be declared. But some making these declarations managed in good conscience, indeed with the highest degree of self-regard, to back the immigration proposals of George W. Bush that contributed so much to the crisis that produced Mr. Trump. They invented Sarah Palin. They managed to support the global attitudes and structures that left the working class jobless. They dreamed up the Iraq war.
Sometimes I think their consciences are really not so delicate.
As for the political consultants who insult Mr. Trump so vigorously, they are the ones who did most to invent him. What do they ever do in good conscience?
I'm supposed to "respect" empty-headed, ill-informed amadans who don't follow politics, who can't understand policy, who think pragmatism is better than having principles, and who are, once again, hurrying to make a Pop Culture Celebrity the chief magistrate of the Republic, who want to sit Bozo the Clown in the same chair once occupied by Reagan and by Washington?
I don't look on the voting decision in 2016 as so much a matter of conscience as of common sense. No one sensible ought to be willing to support a person of bad character, a person of low intelligence, a person manifestly unprincipled, or a person lacking in a sophisticated understanding of government policy. No one of normal intelligence ought to be willing to support an obvious charlatan, a shameless liar, a vulgarian, or a bully. If you think that the remedy for the excesses of bad politics and popular delusions is to find a noiser, coarser, and less-inhibited clown and put the country in his hands, there is something seriously wrong with you.
Peggy Noonan is drunk and should go home, and so should the rest of the people supporting Donald Trump.

Peggy Noonan on Refugees and the Elites
Immigration, Peggy Noonan, Refugees, The Elect, The Elites
Peggy Noonan argues that the European Refugee crisis features a major disconnect between the influential elites making the decisions and the ordinary citizens who have to live with the consequences.
Rules on immigration and refugees are made by safe people. These are the people who help run countries, who have nice homes in nice neighborhoods and are protected by their status. Those who live with the effects of immigration and asylum law are those who are less safe, who see a less beautiful face in it because they are daily confronted with a less beautiful reality—normal human roughness, human tensions. Decision-makers fear things like harsh words from the writers of editorials; normal human beings fear things like street crime. Decision-makers have the luxury of seeing life in the abstract. Normal people feel the implications of their decisions in the particular.
The decision-makers feel disdain for the anxieties of normal people, and ascribe them to small-minded bigotries, often religious and racial, and ignorant antagonisms. But normal people prize order because they can't buy their way out of disorder.
People in gated communities of the mind, who glide by in Ubers, have bought their way out and are safe. Not to mention those in government-maintained mansions who glide by in SUVs followed by security details. Rulers can afford to see national-security threats as an abstraction—yes, yes, we must better integrate our new populations. But the unprotected, the vulnerable, have a right and a reason to worry.
Here is the challenge for people in politics: The better you do, the higher you go, the more detached you become from real life. You use words like "perception" a lot. But perception is not as important as reality.
The great thing in politics, the needed thing, is for those who are raised high in terms of responsibility and authority to be yet still, in their heads and hearts, of the people, experiencing life as a common person on an average street. The challenge is to carry the average street inside you. Only then, when the street is wrong, can you persuade it to see what is right.
The biggest thing leaders don't do now is listen. They no longer hear the voices of common people. Or they imitate what they think it is and it sounds backward and embarrassing. In this age we will see political leaders, and institutions, rock, shatter and fall due to that deafness.
Obama: Incompetent
Barack Obama, Incompetence, Obama, Obama the Enigma, Obama's Incompetence, Obamacare, Peggy Noonan
In 2008, when Barack Obama was advancing on the presidency by means of successfully turning himself into the year's most popular fashion statement, the fact was occasionally remarked that Barack Obama had made his persona into a mirror which was reflecting back precisely the images his audience wanted to see, the real Obama remained an invisible enigma.
Barack Obama managed to be elected presidency, occupied the White House for four years of economic misery while magically evading responsibility for the non-recovery, and was even, astonishingly, re-elected, while remaining essentially defined by the wishful fantasies of an admiring public.
Ironically, it seems that it was Barack Obama's signature achievement, Obamacare, the long-elusive goal of left-wing dreams which would transform America, once and for all, into a European-style Welfare State, which proved to be his nemesis, his Hurricane Katrina, the touchstone of demonstrable performance which dispelled all the illusions and defined the real Obama. And his definition, as Peggy Noonan noted yesterday, is: incompetent.
I would add that in recent weeks I have begun to worry about the basic competency of the administration, its ability to perform the most fundamental duties of executive management. One reason I worry is that I frequently speak with people who interact with the White House, and when I say, "That place just doesn't seem to work," they don't defend it, they offer off-the-record examples of how poorly the government is run. …
It all looks so lax, so loosey-goosey. In the place of the energy and focus that would go into the running of things, the administering and managing of them, we have the preoccupation with spin, with how things look as opposed to how they are. The odd thing still is that the White House never misses a speech, a list of talking points, an opportunity to shape the argument on TV. They do the talking part, but the doing? They had 3½ years to make sure ObamaCare will work, three years to get it right top to bottom, to rejigger parts of the law that they finally judged wouldn't work, to make the buying of a policy easy on the website. And they not only couldn't do that, which itself constitutes an astounding and historic management failure, they make it clear they were taken aback by their failure. They didn't know it was coming! Or some knew and for some reason couldn't do anything.
And it's all going to continue. One reason this scandal isn't Katrina is that Katrina had a beginning and an end. The storm came, the storm left, the cleanup commenced and failed and then continued and succeeded. At some point it was over. ObamaCare will never be over. It's going to poison the rest of the administration. It's the story that won't go away because it will continue to produce disorder. Wait, for instance, until small businesses realize it will be cheaper to throw their people off their coverage and take the fines than it will be to reinsure them under the new regime.
I'm worried, finally, that lines of traditionally assumed competence are being dropped. The past few weeks I can't shake from my head this picture: The man with the football—the military aide who carries the U.S. nuclear codes, and who travels with the president—is carrying the wrong code. He's carrying last month's code, or the one from December 2012. And there's a crisis—a series of dots on a radar screen traveling toward the continental U.S.—and the president is alerted. He's in the holding room at a fundraiser out west. The man with the football is called in and he fumbles around in his briefcase and gets the code but wait, the date on the code is wrong. He scrambles, remembers there's a file on his phone, but the phone ran out on the plane and he thought he could recharge in the holding room but there's no electrical outlet. All eyes turn to him. "Wait—wait. No—uh—I don't think that's the code we use to launch against incoming from North Korea, I think that one takes out Paris!"
I have to say, I've never worried about this with any previous administration, ever.
Recognizing back in 2008 that Barack Obama was nothing but an Illinois state senator with no record of meaningful accomplishment whatsoever beyond (perhaps) writing his own autobiography at age 30, and $2.99, would get you a cup of coffee.
Jeff Goldstein Unloads on Peggy
2008 Election, Jeff Goldstein, Peggy Noonan, Turncoat Conservative Pundits
Jeff Goldstein also read Peggy Noonan's latest, her devastating critique of Obama's leadership, and he's a lot less forgiving of her behavior in 2008 than I am.
We learn that Peggy Noonan is at her heartfelt best, noting as she does — clearly, and not for the first time (though probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 or 5 times by now) — that this Obama fellow, despite his manufactured polish, his practiced speech, and his inflated credentials, may just prove ill-equipped to really lead effectively and handle the challenges facing the nation.
– Many of which wouldn't be facing the nation in the first place had not ostentatiously cosmopolitan and "pragmatic" GOP pundits like the ubiquitous Peggy Noonan so disturbingly creamed over candidate Obama and his academic bona fides — which amounted to studies of critical race theory, race and law, the promotion of Marxism using the language of liberty as its camouflage, and mau-mauing the flak catchers, all of which requires nothing more than a willingness to parrot back leftist talking points to leftist professors looking to turn you into activist leftist foot soldiers and then, if you happen to have the right pedigree, perhaps even greater things.
Or, to put it another way, one of the women who helped guilt the American people into electing a transformative Marxist with a dubious background and no governing experience, a man who, after his drug-addled youth hung out with domestic terrorists, academic (and activist) anti-Semites, and got his religious counsel from a man steeped in hatred of Whites and Jews, as head of the free world — while simultaneously turning down her nose at figures like Sarah Palin, who has proven over the course of time to be every bit as prescient as Ms Noonan was bamboozed, hoodwinked, and gloriously conned — is now writing to tell us the President is not who he promised he'd be.
Read the whole thing. It's a good one.
Peggy Noonan Explains the Obamacare Website Debacle
Barack Obama, Obamacare, Peggy Noonan, Turncoat Conservative Pundits
Oh, how things have changed. I can remember 2008 when Peggy Noonan was smitten by the man of Destiny.
Well, the bloom is off the rose now, and Peggy has Obama's number this time.
It's a leader's job to be skeptical of grand schemes. Sorry, that's a conservative leader's job. It is a liberal leader's job to be skeptical that grand schemes will work as intended. You have to guide and goad and be careful.
And this president wasn't. I think part of the reason he wasn't careful is because he sort of lives in words. That's been his whole professional life—books, speeches. Say something and it magically exists as something said, and if it's been said and publicized it must be real. He never had to push a lever, see the machine not respond, puzzle it out and fix it. It's all been pretty abstract for him, not concrete. He never had to stock a store, run a sale and see lots of people come but the expenses turn out to be larger than you'd expected and the profits smaller, and you have to figure out what went wrong and do better next time.
People say Mr. Obama never had to run anything, but it may be more important that he never worked for the guy who had to run something, and things got fouled up along the way and he had to turn it around. He never had to meet a payroll, never knew that stress. He probably never had to buy insurance! And you know, his policies were probably gold-plated—at the law firm, through his wife's considerable hospital job, in the Illinois Legislature, in the U.S. Senate. Those guys know how to take care of themselves! Maybe he felt guilty. Maybe that's to his credit, knowing he was lucky. Too bad he didn't know what he didn't know, like how every part has to work for a complicated machine to work.
Here I will say something harsh, and it's connected to the thing about words but also images.
From what I have seen the administration is full of young people who've seen the movie but not read the book. They act bright, they know the reference, they're credentialed. But they've only seen the movie about, say, the Cuban missile crisis, and then they get into a foreign-policy question and they're seeing movies in their heads. They haven't read the histories, the texts, which carry more information, more texture, data and subtlety, and different points of view. They've only seen the movie—the Cubans had the missiles and Jack said "Not another war" and Bobby said "Pearl Harbor in reverse" and dreadful old Curtis LeMay chomped his cigar and said "We can fry a million of 'em by this afternoon, Mr. President." Grrr, grrr, good guys beat bad guys.
It's as if history isn't real to them. They run around tweeting, all of them, even those in substantial positions. "Darfur government inadequate. Genocide unacceptable." They share their feelings – that happens to be one of the things they seem to think is real, what they feel. "Unjust treatment of women—scourge that hurts my heart." This is the dialogue to the movies in their heads.
There's a sense that they're all freelancing, not really part of anything coherent.
For four years I have been told, by those who've worked in the administration and those who've visited it as volunteers or contractors, that the Obama White House isn't organized. It's just full of chatter. Meetings don't begin on time, there's no agenda, the list of those invited seems to expand and contract at somebody's whim. There is a tendency to speak of how a problem will look and how its appearance should be handled, as opposed to what the problem is and should be done about it. People speak airily, without point. They scroll down, see a call that has to be returned, pop out and then in again.
It does not sound like a professional operation. And this is both typical of White Houses and yet on some level extreme. People have always had meetings to arrange meetings, but the lack of focus, the lack of point, the sense that they are operating within accepted levels of incoherence—this all sounds, actually, peculiar.
And when you apply this to the ObamaCare debacle, suddenly it seems to make sense. The White House is so unformed and chaotic that they probably didn't ignore the problem, they probably held a million meetings on it. People probably said things like, "We're experiencing some technological challenges but we're sure we'll be up by October," and other people said, "Yes, it's important we launch strong," and others said, "The Republicans will have a field day if we're not." And then everyone went to their next meeting. And no one did anything. And the president went off and made speeches.
Because the doing isn't that important, the talking is.
Read the whole, devastating thing.
Assessing Last Night's Debate
2012 Election, Joseph Biden, Lindsay Lohan, Paul Ryan, Peggy Noonan
Amusingly, partisan commentators from both sides are claiming victory. So the way to tell who really won is to check what the kind of commentator who can be counted to be found jumping on the winning bandwagon is saying. Let's look at Peggy Noonan's analysis:
There were fireworks all the way, and plenty of drama. Each candidate could claim a win in one area or another, but by the end it looked to me like this: For the second time in two weeks, the Democrat came out and defeated himself. In both cases the Republican was strong and the Democrat somewhat disturbing.
Another way to say it is the old man tried to patronize the kid and the kid stood his ground. The old man pushed, and the kid pushed back.
Last week Mr. Obama was weirdly passive. Last night Mr. Biden was weirdly aggressive, if that is the right word for someone who grimaces, laughs derisively, interrupts, hectors, rolls his eyes, browbeats and attempts to bully. He meant to dominate, to seem strong and no-nonsense. Sometimes he did—he had his moments. But he was also disrespectful and full of bluster. "Oh, now you're Jack Kennedy!" he snapped at one point. It was an echo of Lloyd Bentsen to Dan Quayle, in 1988. But Mr. Quayle, who had compared himself to Kennedy, had invited the insult. Mr. Ryan had not. It came from nowhere. Did Mr. Biden look good? No, he looked mean and second-rate. He meant to undercut Mr. Ryan, but he undercut himself. His grimaces and laughter were reminiscent of Al Gore's sighs in 2000—theatrical, off-putting and in the end self-indicting.
Mr. Ryan was generally earnest, fluid, somewhat wonky, confident. He occasionally teetered on the edge of glibness and sometimes fell off. …
I have just realized the problem with the debate: it was the weird distance between style and content, and the degree to which Mr. Biden's style poisoned his content.
In terms of content—the seriousness and strength of one's positions and the ability to argue for them—the debate was probably a draw, with both candidates having strong moments. But in terms of style, Mr. Biden was so childishly manipulative that it will be surprising if independents and undecideds liked what they saw.
National Democrats keep confusing strength with aggression and command with sarcasm. Even the latter didn't work for Mr. Biden. The things he said had the rhythm and smirk of sarcasm without the cutting substance.
And so the Romney-Ryan ticket emerged ahead. Its momentum was neither stopped nor slowed and likely was pushed forward.
Another way to tell who's winning is to watch the random omens. For instance, today Lindsay Lohan endorsed Romney.
Recipe For Electoral Disaster
2012 Election, Barack Obama, Peggy Noonan
Peggy Noonan reflects on how the current president decidedly worsened his relationship with his opponents, while never really developing much of a relationship with the general electorate.
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. …
In terms of the broad electorate, I'm not sure he really has a relationship. A president only gets a year or two to forge real bonds with the American people. In that time a crucial thing he must establish is that what is on his mind is what is on their mind. This is especially true during a crisis.
From the day Mr. Obama was sworn in, what was on the mind of the American people was financial calamity—unemployment, declining home values, foreclosures. These issues came within a context of some overarching questions: Can America survive its spending, its taxing, its regulating, is America over, can we turn it around?
That's what the American people were thinking about.
But the new president wasn't thinking about that. All the books written about the creation of economic policy within his administration make clear the president and his aides didn't know it was so bad, didn't understand the depth of the crisis, didn't have a sense of how long it would last. They didn't have their mind on what the American people had their mind on.
The president had his mind on health care. And, to be fair-minded, health care was part of the economic story. But only a part! And not the most urgent part. Not the most frightening, distressing, immediate part. Not the 'Is America over?' part.
And so the relationship the president wanted never really knitted together. Health care was like the birth-control mandate: It came from his hermetically sealed inner circle, which operates with what seems an almost entirely abstract sense of America. They know Chicago, the machine, the ethnic realities. They know Democratic Party politics. They know the books they've read, largely written by people like them—bright, credentialed, intellectually cloistered. But there always seems a lack of lived experience among them, which is why they were so surprised by the town hall uprisings of August 2009 and the 2010 midterm elections.
I think Peggy hit this one dead on. People are shocked at the president and his administration's utter indifference toward, and contempt for, perspectives and values different from his own. We've never had a president, however liberal, who would simply shrug off the constitutional protection of religious freedom so casually. Beyond that, Obama not only failed to act so as to restore economic confidence to improve the economy, he made it perfectly clear that, for him, social justice (and democrat party patronage) was far more important than prosperity and growth.
It isn't clear that Mitt Romney (or whoever) really deserves to win, but Barack Obama certainly deserves to lose.
Peggy Noonan on Obama: "Nobody Loves a Loser"
Peggy Noonan has her faults. She runs with the herd, she is totally incapable of standing up to a solid elite consensus, and she has a tendency to specialize in bathos and sentimentality. You can tell that's she's Irish, alright. But one has to hand it to Peggy Noonan: when she decides to put in the boot, she does it right. Nobody can annihilate a deserving politician, leaving only scorched earth behind, like Peggy Noonan.
Mr. Obama seemed brilliant at politics when he first emerged in 2004. He understood the nation's longing for unity. We're not divided into red states and blue, he said, we're Big Purple, we can solve our problems together. Four years later he read the lay of the land perfectly—really, perfectly. The nation and the Democratic Party were tired of the Clinton machine. He came from nowhere and dismantled it. It was breathtaking. He went into the 2008 general election with a miraculously unified party and took down another machine, bundling up all the accrued resentment of eight years with one message: "You know the two losing wars and the economic collapse we've been dealing with? I won't do that. I'm not Bush."
The fact is, he's good at dismantling. He's good at critiquing. He's good at not being the last guy, the one you didn't like. But he's not good at building, creating, calling into being. He was good at summoning hope, but he's not good at directing it and turning it into something concrete that answers a broad public desire.
And so his failures in the debt ceiling fight. He wasn't serious, he was only shrewd—and shrewdness wasn't enough. He demagogued the issue—no Social Security checks—until he was called out, and then went on the hustings spouting inanities. He left conservatives scratching their heads: They could have made a better, more moving case for the liberal ideal as translated into the modern moment, than he did. He never offered a plan. In a crisis he was merely sly. And no one likes sly, no one respects it.
So he is losing a battle in which he had superior forces—the presidency, the U.S. Senate. In the process he revealed that his foes have given him too much mystique. He is not a devil, an alien, a socialist. He is a loser. And this is America, where nobody loves a loser.
I bet the White House didn't enjoy reading this one.
The Angry Obama
Barack Obama, Peggy Noonan, Recession, Tax Cuts
Peggy Noonan marvels at Barack Obama's approach to cheerleading for compromise.
We have not in our lifetimes seen a president in this position. He spent his first year losing the center, which elected him, and his second losing his base, which is supposed to provide his troops. There isn't much left to lose! Which may explain Tuesday's press conference.
President Obama was supposed to be announcing an important compromise, as he put it, on tax policy. Normally a president, having agreed with the opposition on something big, would go through certain expected motions. He would laud the specific virtues of the plan, show graciousness toward the negotiators on the other side—graciousness implies that you won—and refer respectfully to potential critics as people who'll surely come around once they are fully exposed to the deep merits of the plan.
Instead Mr. Obama said, essentially, that he hates the deal he just agreed to, hates the people he made the deal with, and hates even more the people who'll criticize it. His statement was startling in the breadth of its animosity. Republicans are "hostage takers" who worship a "holy grail" of "tax cuts for the wealthy." "That seems to be their central economic doctrine."
As for the left, they ignore his accomplishments and are always looking for "weakness and compromise." They are "sanctimonious," "purist," and just want to "feel good about" themselves. In a difficult world, they cling to their "ideal positions" and constant charges of "betrayals."
Those not of the left might view all this as straight talk, and much needed. But if you were of the left it would only deepen your anger and sharpen your response. Which it did. "Gettysburg," "sellout," "disaster."
The president must have thought that distancing himself from left and right would make him more attractive to the center. But you get credit for going to the center only if you say the centrist position you've just embraced is right. If you suggest, as the president did, that the seemingly moderate plan you agreed to is awful and you'll try to rescind it in two years, you won't leave the center thinking, "He's our guy!" You'll leave them thinking, "Note to self: Remove Obama in two years."
This week, Obama seems to have hit the same point-of-no-return in which he is visibly angry with the American people for not supporting his policies that Jimmy Carter did at the time of his "malaise" speech.
"The Worst Thing You Can Say About a President"
2008 Election, 2010 Election, Barack Obama, Peggy Noonan, Turncoat Conservative Pundits
Back at the end of October in 2008, Peggy Noonan hurriedly jumped on the express train to the Finland Station, endorsing Barack Obama in quite warm terms, and dismissing regrets or apologies by pointing to the mandate of heaven.
[L]et's be frank. Something new is happening in America. It is the imminent arrival of a new liberal moment. History happens, it makes its turns, you hold on for dear life. Life moves.
Peggy is still holding on to history's roller-coaster car for dear life but, happily, the turns of the track have brought Peggy (along with David Brooks and the rest of the establishment commentariat) back to the right side. This week, Peggy Noonan, rather than praising Barack Obama, was delivering the ultimate editorial coup de grace.
On Wednesday, President Obama gave a news conference to share his thoughts. Viewers would have found it disappointing if there had been any viewers. The president is speaking, in effect, to an empty room. From my notes five minutes in: "This wet blanket, this occupier of the least interesting corner of the faculty lounge, this joy-free zone, this inert gas." By the end I was certain he will never produce a successful stimulus because he is a human depression.
Actually I thought the worst thing you can say about a president: He won't even make a good former president.
His detachment is so great, it is even from himself. As he spoke, he seemed to be narrating from a remove. It was like hearing the audiobook of Volume I of his presidential memoirs. "Obama was frustrated. He honestly didn't understand what the country was doing. It was as if they had compulsive hand-washing disorder. In '08 they washed off Bush. Now they're washing off Obama. There he is, swirling down the drain! It's all too dramatic, too polar. The morning after the election it occurred to him: maybe he should take strong action. Maybe he should fire America! They did well in 2008, but since then they've been slipping. They weren't giving him the followership he needed. But that wouldn't work, they'd only complain. He had to keep his cool. His aides kept telling him, 'Show humility.' But they never told him what humility looked like. What was he supposed to do, burst into tears and say hit me? Not knowing how to feel humility or therefore show humility he decided to announce humility: He found the election 'humbling,' he said."

This project was created on 06/28/2016 and last updated 3 years ago.
The MiniSam is a tiny Atmel Samd09 dev board, with on board 64kbit(8Kbyte) EEPROM, off chip temp sensor, test led, and a cp2102 for serial coms. Along with the other usual stuff, reset button, test led etc.
I made this to get into arm development. And for use with various other projects that need a little more horse power under the hold.
The board is already built and tested but I will document the creation, population and testing of the board soon.
There is now a samd09 serial bootloader! (Feel free to correct me) but I could not find one anywhere online. It uses a python script for the front end, soon I'll find a way to make a one click solution.
Get bootloader working on al1's board (CONFIRMED WORKING).
R1.4.1 is built, tested, and fore sale. The board design is currently frozen.
Finaly.. after a small break, playing some much needed video games. I finaly got i2c to play nice with the samd09 not using asf drivers.
It's still a bit finicky, I have to get the wait states right (delays) since the eeprom takes a while to write each byte.
Reading beef, I wrote deadbeef to the eeprom earlier while testing the write byte functions.
I'll update the repository and start nailing down the i2c library, as well as making a library for the 24lcxxx eeproms.
Seems I broke it again... but learned a bit about how the i2c module works. And also seemed to have sudo fixed it at the same time.
I was reading the datasheet for the 24lc256 wrong and read the 8 byte word section as a 16 byte word for some reason.
So (a reminder for me) to write a byte worth of data in byte right mode we need too.
I2c_write_byte (0x00); //write data address high byte.
I2c_write_stop (); //send stop bit.
i2c_write_byte(); // write data address high byte.
i2c_write_byte(); // write data address low byte.
i2c_read(data,1); // sends address with r bit, read from the data register, this reads two bytes, needs to be fixed.
All of this should work, I just now added some functions to this block of code. As I was not sending the start address for the read command just the address and r bit. I will update more later. Once I get this working I will write a 24lcxxx library that uses this i2c library for easier commands.
I got the i2c library nailed down for now. And started on the generic eeprom library. So far I can write a 16 byte word or 8 bytes to the eeprom, I can read it back. I can page write to the eeprom, reading back the page is proving to be difficult for some reason. I need to split the i2c read function apart.
Well I've been on a debugging spree. This will be a small update.
New library's have been added to the DEV branch in the git repo.
Added send string, that's about it.
This is a work in progress, it at least gets data on the lines. Now that I have the series of events figured out I will rewrite this library soon.
There are more library's as well mostly helper libraries atm.
I don't know currently what is wrong with the dev branch bootloader but some how it's broken, I'll fix this later. The master branch bootloader still works fine.
it would seem that my IDE is in a funny state with that project. Can't set hardware breakpoints, and it immediately goes into disassembly mode.
Other than that the bootloader still works.. I can't seem to figure out why it's grown by about 1kb.. less I'm forgetting I did something. Which may be the case..
other than that not much going on. Waiting for the new boards to get here.
Fun with I2C and SPI..
So it's been a while.. or a few days since my last post. Work8ng without asf and for that matter working with asf drivers is difficult especially when ones c foo in micro controllers is new and in ARM for that matter.
Also @Atmel Corporation I understand the need for a higher level c driver (kind of) but please provide some examples in pure c these micro's don't have alot of room and stuffing asf drivers into these things take quite a lot of space also the drivers are confusing..
I finaly managed to get the I2C module on SERCOM0 to configure properly, or so I think. I can somewhat talk to the eeprom but all I get back is garbage. So either something is not translating right (ie I am not processing the data properly) or its a baud rate issue etc. I have not thrown the micro into the scope yet.. I will look at the SCL line with a scope soon.
I created a function to scan the I2C bus and spit out the proper address of the device after an ACK is received. This seems to work but I get an address of 0xD0 when I expect an address of 0x50. This may be a pointer issue as well. I'll look into this tomorrow.
I put the micro under the scope last night again for the I2C lines and they seem to be working. With a 24lc64 if I send it's address in write mode I get a ACK back(so says my scopes i2c decode functuon) and data is 0xFF witch I assume to be correct since the chips have never been programed.
So far it seems that I2C is working. I hooked up the board to my logic analyzer and the data seems to be good. I'm continually sending a read address to the chip. This is what it looks like.
So all the ACK's are there and the data being sent back is understandably 0xFF this is what I would expect. Now to read reviews, write and read again to make sure the data is being stored.
al1 has managed to get a simple spi interface up and running and has successfully read the device id of some random flash chip he pulled from a board.
I am not having such good luck with this yet. I need to make sure the lines are acting properly. Everything is running from a base 1Mhz clock.
I get an rx event when I send the spi device a read instruction for its device id but nothing is in the rx buffer. Again it's probably my lack of reading the devices datasheet.
Getting nada, not even a wiggle.. I know I'm toggling the cs line.. somethings gata be up. Time to re program the chip.
It would seem someone has added an extra digit to the price of the samd09 chip.. it's now priced on Digi-key for $12.7 per quantities of 1... I bought less than a week ago at $1.27 per quantities of 1.
I tried talking to customer service about it but all they said was, it was a price hike due to manufacturer supply..
On the other hand Mouser still has them in stock for $1.22 per quantities of 1.
I'm a little confused, not mad, just confused. I hope its a glitch.
My last purchase less than a week ago..
anyway, I know this happens sometimes so don't troll my comments section, I just thought the price difference between the two was a little funny.
They were however nice enough to give me a quote that last for 13 days if I wanted to buy my kits again. I just may as the pricing is the same on mouser..
So I have managed to finish the bootloader, this includes the verification step in the python script.
Since I have been presented with some better information I will document the process of using the bootloader in more detail here.
Currently the bootloader version is 1.3 and can be found on github through the link on the left side of the page.
Name your project and select GCC C Executable Project.
Select the proper chip family, in our case SamD09.
If using the MiniSam-Zero those connections are already made.
Once atmel studio has completed setting up your project. Right click on your project in the right panel and select properties. You should see this window. If you do not, you right clicked on the wrong item. usually the 2rd entry down.
Now we need to tell the linker that we want the program to start at address 0x800. This will make the program compatible with the miniSam bootloader. Find ARM/GNU linker and select Miscellaneous. Copy the code given below into the field Linker Flags.
Then click ok. Now you can select your main.c in the right panel and start coding.
//Thank you Al1 for sharing this timer setup.
REG_TC1_INTFLAG = TC_INTFLAG_OVF;					// reset interrupt flag - NEEDED HERE!
This code should blink the on board led at 1hz. Here's how to upload it to the miniSam bootloader.
As a note, the python script requires that you have python 2.7 installed as well as pyserial. Python 2.7 download. This link is directly from python.org's download section.
open a command line and navigate to the bootloader directory like so.
If you have entered all of that properly you will presented with a quick question.
That's it your done!. Hopefully this is not to painful :), now you have no reason not to pick up a Arm micro (SamD variant at this point) and have some fun.
I will be making some mini libraries I think, maybe. I'll see whats already out there.
until next time stay happy, stay healthy, and keep hackin.
First I would like to give a big thanks to @Philip from #OSHChip V1.0 for helping me late into the night debuging the bootloader. He is an awsome dude with a wealth of knowledge. If you get the chance say hi.
The bootloader allows one to upload a "sketch/app/code" if you will, in the form of a .bin file to the samd09 while preserving the bootloader as well.
The bootloader (this one in general) resides at Non Volatile ram address 0x00000000. This may change at a later date. The user application gets uploaded via a python front end to address 0x00000800. Once the bootloader is done writing the user code and the verification process finishes (still working on this) the bootloader rebases the stack pointer, provides an offset to the vector tables and resets to the new program address at 0x00000800.
The verification process currently fails with the python script. This is an unknown bug atm but the program that is flashed vs the program that is created using Atmel Studio 7 are identical and works well.
To use the bootloader you must first flash the micro with the bootloader (uart_bootloader_R1_0_current.hex or .bin, you choice. This has to be done with a jtagger. Once the bootloader is flashed it should reside in the nvm at least until a full chip erase is issued.
You can load the firmware using Atmel studio 7 with the provided workspace. Once flashed you can open a coms window (i use coolterm) set the com port to the cp2102 device, set the baud rate to 115200 and press connect. After connecting you may need to press the reset button on the micro, you will see the test led light up to let you know you are in bootloader mode.
if you type i and hit enter you should be presented with something like this. Mind you this is a dev version so yours may look a little different.
Creating "Apps" for the miniSam-Zero.
Using Atmel studio 7, select a new C based project. select the ATSAMD09d14 chip when asked. Atmel studio will load all the necessary files into your project. Its 4 files I believe plus the main.c file.
In the right hand panel you will see a folder called device startup, expand this folder and delete the file called samd09d14a_flash.ld. Then right click that folder and select add->add existing-> then select the samd09d14a_flash.ld that is in the github repo.
This ld file tells the compiler to compile your project starting at address 0x00000800. This helps us keep the vector tables and addresses straight when the program runs on top of the bootloader.
Now make your blinky led program or whatever it is you want to try (there are a few example projects in the repo.) and open a cmd prompt.
the python script is how you upload your code to the micro.
This will start the upload process, its pretty fast. Once that is finished the micro should reset by itself and start running your program. If not simply press the reset button and that should do it.
To get back into bootloader mode (I will fix this.) run the python script the same time you release the reset button on the micro. you will know that you are in bootloader mode if the red led on PA14 is on.
So far this has been an awesome learning experience. ~2-3 weeks ago I had absolutely no experience with arm processors. Now I'm hooked. There a little tricky at first to get used to but that's mainly due to the arduino IDE... we won't get into that now.
When I get time I will upload a video of how the process works. I know most people here know how a bootloader works. But for me I didn't really understand how a bootloader worked until I created one.
I will release the board files on both PCBs.io and oshpark.com the latter gives me a small credit to use for other projects. I will also make the miniSam-Zero available on my tindie store pre loaded with this bootloader.
Lets take a look at some code. Maybe I can get some help with this as I have been beating my head against the desk trying to get this to work. I think I am almost there.
*Summery:		Modified version of the Samd10 bootloader.
*				If PA15 bootpin is held low, micro will enter USART bootloader mode.
*				memory. Look at APP_START for start location of user flash.
*					Boot En Pin PA15: enabled boot on reset when DTR pin LOW. Change to PA27?

I don't know why I wanted a bootloader since I have the required jag tools to program the device without needing a bootloader. But this does work well as a learning experience, also if someone else wanted to mess about with the board then they wouldnt need a jtag programmer to do so.
I found a Serial boot loader for the samd10 Micro and gutted it. The usart write and read functions did not work all that well at least on my samd09. I fixed that with my own functions. The bootloader talks at 115200bps to a python script. That also came with with D10 boot loader. But it has been modified to toggle the boot pin so the micro enters bootloader mode on reset.
I ran into an issue when writing to user flash I'm pretty sure it was an overflow issue although the registers on the micro indicated that was not the case. The function would get to the end of the usable user flash and fall to a dummy handler function for interrupts that did nothing. This has been fixed, or so it seems.
My next issue is verifying the userr flash. This function always seems to spit out the incorrect data, so says the python script anyway. I need to look into this and see what's different about the memory space on the 09 va the 10 it seems that the page size is wrong.
Other than that the bootloader is staying around 1Kb in size. So that's nice it still leaves around 14~15Kb for programs. But that's what the EEPROM is for :) a little added space.
I'll have to do another board spin as now the boot loader has two new pin definitions. So hopefully R1.3 will be the final spin.
Stay happy, stay health, and keep hackin.
I have fixed the issues with the current board and sent out for a new spin. This should be the final spin for this board.
Things I have managed to get working so far are USART, and working on I2C. Not having much luck on the I2C front (coding wise).
The EEPROM has been reduced to 64kbit (8Kbytes, should be plenty) to save on bom cost.
A resistor pad has been added to the cp2102 for a reset when serial coms have been activated i.e plugging in a usb cable. This will also need to be tested for reliability.
I will update the log with a parts list, and schematics soon.
The board will also be available in my Tindie store soon.
Stay healthy, stay happy, and keep hackin.
Pretty neat, keep it up!

Brooklyn Blanks York, 2-0
More news about: Brooklyn men's team
Brooklyn, NY --- The Brooklyn College Men's Soccer team extended its current unbeaten streak to four games, as the Bulldogs posted a 2-0 victory over City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) rival York College this afternoon at BC Field. The Bulldogs are now 3-0-1 over their last four games.
With the win, Brooklyn improves its overall record to 4-3-1 and 1-0-1 in the CUNYAC; while the Cardinals fall to 0-7-1 overall and 0-2-1 in conference play.
The play of the match occurred in the 65th minute, with the Bulldogs holding a slim 1-0 advantage. BC would be called for a foul in the box, allowing York to take a penalty kick. The Cardinals' Sonam Sherpa stepped up to take the kick looking for the equalizer; however, Brooklyn sophomore Saul Gonzalez Perez, making his first collegiate start and just his second appearance in net for the Bulldogs, guessed right and stopped the potential game-tying goal.
BC began the match as the aggressors, attacking the York goal from the opening whistle. Just about three minutes into the game, junior Pajtim Gjonbalaj put the home team up early, beating the keeper after a York turnover deep in its half of the field. Junior Peterson Petit Frere forced the Cardinals' turnover with the steal and passed the ball to a wide open Gjonbalaj, who has now scored a goal in three-straight games for BC.
Although the Bulldogs controlled much of the tempo in the opening period, holding a 14-5 advantage in shots and a 3-0 edge in corner kicks, Brooklyn would come away with just that one goal in the half, as the Bulldogs would head into the intermission break with a 1-0 lead.
The second half featured a much different game, as the Cardinals began to push the tempo and pressure the BC defense. York would hold an 8-1 shot advantage in the half, but would be unable to net the tying goal, as the Brooklyn defense held off the Cardinals attack.
BC's lone shot of the half would come from junior Cheyne Tribbey, who subbed into the game with about 14 minutes remaining. Coming in the 85th minute, Tribbey took a pass from classmate Dmitry Prokofyev in the box and was able to put the insurance goal past the York net minder to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 cushion. Tribbey's goal was his first of the season.
"We did well to get an early lead; however, our many missed opportunities and only a 1-0 score line gave York hope," said head coach Rawle Hensford. "But give the team credit, Saul came up big to stop the PK and the subs come off the bench to settle the team and seal the victory."
Perez earned his first career victory for BC, playing all 90 minutes in net, while tallying three saves, none bigger than the stop on the penalty shot, to notch his first career shutout. His counterpart, York's Leszek Stankiewicz, took the loss playing all 90 minutes in goal, allowing two goals, while recording six saves.
Brooklyn will be back in action this Monday, September 24th, as the Bulldogs will be on the road to take on borough rival Polytechnic Institute of New York University. The match is scheduled for a 7:00 pm start time at Aviator Sports Complex.

As a new owner, you are responsible for any taxes that were not paid at the time escrow closed. Even though taxes are prorated between the buyer and seller during escrow and proper credit is given to each, the actual taxes may not have been paid to the Tax Collector at that time. You should read your escrow papers and/or title report to determine if any portion of the annual taxes were paid by the previous owner before the close of escrow and what if any taxes, will be due and payable by the property tax due dates.
Annual tax bills, which can be paid in two installments, are mailed once a year by November 1. This bill contains payments stubs for both installments, and is the only bill regularly mailed each year by the Tax Collector. Depending on when the ownership change is placed on the tax roll, the annual tax bill could be sent either to the previous owner or directly to you. If there are any remaining unpaid taxes, and if you did not receive an annual tax bill from either the previous owner or the Tax Collector, you should contact the Tax Collector immediately and request one. It is your responsibility to obtain the bill. State law stipulates that failure to receive a bill does not permit the Tax Collector to excuse penalties on late payments.
Any time property is sold or improved, the value of the property is reassessed. If the property has been reassessed at a higher value, you will receive one or more supplemental tax bills in addition to the annual bill mentioned above. If the property has been reassessed at a lower value, you may receive a refund.

AL MP Mannan passes away 2 siblings among 3 killed in road accident
US, China mini-deal offers 'breathing space'
A truce in the US-China trade war offers Xi Jinping breathing space as he faces a slowing economy and political trouble in Hong Kong, but experts warn 2020 will be another tough year for the Chinese president.
The pared-down "phase one" deal announced Friday includes a reduction in US tariffs on China, in exchange for an increase in Chinese purchases of US goods and better protections for intellectual property, AFP reports.
But tussles over the most controversial Chinese trade practices —including steep state subsidies — have been left to future talks.
The trade war launched nearly two years ago by President Donald Trump isn't over, analysts say, as there's always the risk of Beijing not upholding its end of the bargain and the mercurial US leader throwing more tariff bombs.
The mini-deal is a "delay tactic to buy the Chinese Communist Party breathing space and allow it to stay in the game against overwhelming odds," said Larry Ong, senior analyst with risk consultancy SinoInsider.
Growth of the Chinese economy slowed to six percent in the third quarter –its most sluggish rate in nearly three decades — as demand for exports cooled and Chinese consumers tightened their belts.
In November exports fell 1.1 percent from a year earlier, the fourth straight fall, and exports to the US nosedived 23 percent as the trade war disrupted supply chains and left investors on edge.
Trump has cancelled a new round of tariffs that had been due to kick in on Sunday and would have affected smartphones, toys and laptops among other goods, while Beijing also called off levies planned in retaliation.
In another major concession, Washington will also slash in half the 15-percent tariffs imposed on $120 billion in Chinese goods, like clothing, that were imposed on September 1.
However, this "unexpected" tariff rollback will only have a "marginal" impact on China's economy, said Lu Ting of Nomura bank.
"The worst is not yet over and 2020 looks set to be yet another tough year."
'Different interpretations'
On the political front, Washington's decision to back the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong and to criticise China's mass detention of mostly Muslim minorities has cast a shadow over trade negotiations.
Xi has faced six months of increasingly violent demonstrations in Hong Kong, while on the other side of the world Trump is facing a congressional vote on impeachment for abuse of office next week.
And with Trump's 2020 reelection campaign gathering pace, he needs to show voters that his habit of starting bruising trade wars is bearing fruit.
Barry Naughton, an expert on China's economy at the University of California in San Diego, said the mini-deal — which caused US stocks to whipsaw — may have been announced too soon.
"People worry that both sides were under so much time pressure to conclude something before Sunday, that they may have once again prematurely announced an agreement," he told AFP.
US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said he expected the deal to be signed in early January, taking effect 30 days later.
US officials also said China has promised to import $200 billion worth of US goods — including farm produce, energy and services — over the next two years, but China declined to offer any details.
"Different interpretations of what has been agreed upon are potential obstacles to completing the deal," Lu from Nomura said.
Trump said existing tariffs of 25 percent on $250 billion of Chinese imports would stay in place pending further negotiations on a second-phase deal.
Although he tweeted Friday that talks will start "immediately", the Chinese side are treading more cautiously.
Starting talk on the next phase "will depend on the implementation of the phase one agreement", China's deputy finance minister Liao Min said.
"I expect things will grind to a halt," said Naughton. "China has no more it is willing to give. The US will slip into wait-and-see mode, monitoring Chinese compliance."
Ong from Sinoinsider said the CCP is notorious for not living up to its promises and warned factional struggles among the party will make it harder to meet China's "phase one" deal commitments.
"We can expect President Trump to become a 'Tariff Man' again once China is found to have lapsed."
