Moment of clarity.

Every so often but not nearly often enough, you’ll hear a liberal acknowledge a self-evident truth and say to yourself, how about that, there just might be hope yet.
Such could have been the case for the handful of conservatives listening to Bill Press’s radio show on Monday when he was talking with former Biden adviser Joe Cirincione, president of the Ploughshares Fund, which describes itself as a “global peace and security foundation” focusing on nuclear weapons policy.
Press, perhaps best known as the liberal half of CNN’s talk show Crossfire in the 1990s, now hosts one of the few popular liberal radio programs and writes a syndicated column, and has written several books on politics.
The pair were talking about President Trump’s summit this week with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. First came this surprising criticism of Democrats’ churlishness toward Trump’s efforts regarding North Korea, followed by more of the unexpected from both Press and Cirincione […]
Not only does Press say Obama did nothing to deserve a Nobel, Cirincione actually describes Obama as having “failed” in his approach to North Korea. Can’t recall the last time I heard a conversation between two liberals when both were critical of Obama. Press does get it wrong as to the timing of Obama’s Nobel. It was announced in October 2009 that he would receive it, not two months into his presidency. (Obama accepted the award the following December).
