Joni Mitchell was wrong, David Brooks is already missing Barack Obama.

Come for the eulogy, stay for the back-handed compliment coded racism:

No, Obama has not been temperamentally perfect. Too often he’s been disdainful, aloof, resentful and insular.

I’m shocked (shocked) that a man whose origin and motives are questioned daily might ever be disdainful, aloof, resentful, or insular.
