Dealing with politicians is like reading a book. If you are reading a novel and are willing to accept the fact that it's fiction, you suspend disbelief and evaluate the story on its internal merits. If you're reading non-fiction, then you must apply some objective criteria to determine its merit and shouldn't be required to suspend disbelief as though you were reading a fairy tale. Unfortunately, guys like Brooks treat Obama like a fairy tale. In fact, not only do they suspend any modicum of journalistic cynicism, they actually elaborate on the fiction.
