<<<< Just disagree with the argument without getting into this pit of motive mongering>>>> John; Krugmans attack of Obama's policy is recently nonstop. This time though he seems to be arguing against his own ideology. Why argue for something that seems by any standard to be against what he (Krugman) has been preaching to us for years now? I said when Obama was elected that he was facing a morbid economy. I said at that time that Obama deserved our support if he was able to maneuver through this mind-field without catastrophic consequences. So far he has done a pretty good job of that against some awful adversaries and odds - think Tea Party. .........What Krugman should have said; ......."thankfully, we can appreciate the gains Obama achieved under such a harsh political climate so that what keynesian stimulants we still have in place will not be destroyed by a moribund economic rebound as the government, investors and business are again locked into inaction waiting relentlessly for some resolution of having falling off the cliff." .......I stand by my statement of four years ago and am only defending Obama here. I'm not sure why Krugman has taken this nonstop attack recently against Obama - and if you think I am "motive mongering", I guess I am. I'm asking .....Why?
