(26,371 posts)Im not the first to point out that the Obama campaign seems dangerously close to becoming a cult of personality. Weve already had that from the Bush administration remember Operation Flight Suit? We really dont want to go there again.

He got well and truly raked over the coals by many of the same crew who are now his greatest fans.
and that PK comment you excerpted would apply quite well today....

(3,017 posts)A couple of years ago he was on Bill Moyers' show speaking in glowing terms about a book on the crisis of income inequality.
And he supports Hillary Clinton, who is more conservative than Obama, over Bernie Sanders. And not by a close call; he's trashing Bernie on a regular basis.
Krugman is a partisan hack.

(55,894 posts)Ideologues finding fault with a Pragmatist who uses reason in assessing a situation.
The fact Sanders can't explain in any depth to an editorial board how he'll implement his agenda shows he's not up to being POTUS.
All he can do is give angry speeches and promise free stuff.

(55,894 posts)I'm not a great fan of Clinton but the choice between her and an empty suit like Sanders is clear.
In the end, this thread proves who the Ideologues are on DU and why they are so attracted to an Ideologue like Sanders.

He's not actually calling Obama a job killer.

(16,631 posts)but still no excuse for sloppiness;
nevertheless, the point remains valid, namely, that PK has penned many a negative column about Obama.
Here's one I've substituted for the sarcastic one:
