I know that you have been critical of Obama's handling of our financial emergency, and for having the wrong people to advise him (such as Geithner). I know you have been criticized here by others for being too naively progressive or not seeing reality for what it is.

I want you to know that I have long been in agreement with your position on Obama's presidency. The latest opinion piece by Krugman makes a powerful statement about what the Rs are doing to progressive Ds. The behavior of the Rs borders on the criminal and we wish Obama could/would get tougher with them. It is very telling to read the comments to Krugman's NYT opinion piece:

community.nytimes.com

"As much we as disagree with the direction Obama and his Administration has taken our economy over the last 2 years, we hate to see him being beaten relentlessly by the media and the Right. Nobody, but nobody, deserves the harassment and slings he takes daily just because the Republicans want him to fail miserably. In doing so, they are willing to put our great nation at risk for power and ideology. They are ones that should be demagogued, demonized and called un-American for even bringing us to this point.

If our nation titters on the brink of calamity, I hope Obama goes down fighting. Finally earn your respect with the American people. Don’t let the other side frame/bully you anymore with their lies, propaganda and ineptness. Daily, tell the American people who brought us to this point and then pushed us over the edge. When push comes-to-shove, this is your moment to shine. Obama needs to step-up and finally take control of the debate – your Presidency and legacy rests on your actions.

I fear for the future of our democracy unless the voting public gets smarter and better informed. TEA party propaganda is dangerous stuff.

My opinion, for what it is worth . . . .
