Updated for the 21st century:

Back then:

William F. Buckley: (1955)

[The National Review] stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it.

Now:

Mark Halperin & Co.: (2009)

.. is Obama trying to do too much?

If Obama comes out and says, 'Listen, I'm going to move all these other things aside, shift my focus mainly to the economy,' and take all these other things, put them aside -- not forget about them -- just really use all his efforts there, I think it'll make a big difference.
