Krugman: No, We Can't? Or Won't?
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/11/opinion/11krugman.html?_r=1&hp

To the extent that DU engages in histrionics over Huff Post's magical unnamed sources and the imminent Social Security cuts (in the "the invasion of Iran is imminent" use of the word), it crowds out discussion of what the real problem is: the fact that almost no elected officials in Washington DC, the President included, seem to acknowledge what's necessary to kick start the economy. Paul Krugman consistently tells it like it is, and his latest column is another example of this.

I get the constraints that Obama is working under and the need to craft his rhetoric to appeal to a broad audience, but we will never see the sort of lasting long term change this country needs if the President can't acknowledge the roots of our economic troubles as laid out by Krugman.

1. Show me this board audience that finds this tripe appealing.
That rhetoric, no one likes it. If he thinks that is winning rhetoric, he is incorrect.
