Has the President Misjudged the Nation?

Common Sense May Sink ObamaCare is an article by Peggy Noonan. She discusses the new health bill that has been one of the main points of Obama's administration. She tailors her article not to include components of the bill, but instead negative reactions towards it, "Americans don’t fear the devil’s in the details, they fear hell is. Do they want the same people running health care who gave us the Department of Motor Vehicles, the post office and the invasion of Iraq?" She argues that there are three main flaws with the bill: "People are afraid of losing the parts of the system that sometimes work—the unquantifiable parts, the human parts.", "Second, and this is big, some of the bills being worked on in Congress will allow for or mandate taxpayer funding of abortion.", "We are living in a time in which educated people who are at the top of American life feel they have the right to make very public criticisms of . . . let’s call it the private, pleasurable but health-related choices of others."
Noonan addresses these points with well placed rhetorical questions, and assertions about the mindset of the American people as a whole. She uses her own opinions to construct the view points of citizens who watched the press conference with Obama, "Far more seriously, he didn’t seem to be telling the truth... Who would believe that?"
Noonan brings the reader into her mindset, subtly transitioning from, "I think", to "they are", making herself the authority on all Americans. She ends with another rhetorical question, "Who wants more of that?" for the final finish.
Peggy Noonan ultimately does an excellent job of presenting her opinion in a reasonable manner despite the somewhat assuming assertions. Her article flows cleanly, and presents its arguement in a reasonable light.
