1. I find it amazing how many DUers try to trash Krugman
Nobel Prize winning economist from Princeton, but he doesn't know what he is talking about... yeah.

I agree with Krugman on about 99% of what he writes... so when he criticizes Obama's economic policies, it is worth the read.

There are many here who reflexively dismiss Krugman. I find it similar the the right wing whackos who dismiss scientists on global warming.

3. Typical here. If Obama is critized by anyone, they are now under the bus!

8. Also a dedicated liberal Dem
But the DINOs and True Believers do not allow any criticism of the president, period.

5. I've never seen him make a wrong call on economics. Sometimes I wish he WERE
wrong, but it always turns out that he's right.

7. WHY?
Krugman is a Nobel prize winning economist, but I always wonder, "why has he always been against Obama? And "it's not what you say, it's how you say it". When he writes, you would think he was writing against someone on the right. And to all of you who seem to "get off" on criticizing Obama, I say,"DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE OBAMA IS AGAINST HIS CONSTITUENTS? IS HE HUMAN? IS HE EXEMPT FROM MAKING MISTAKES? YOU PEOPLE USE THESE BOARDS TO RELEASE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS IN A WAY THAT'S GOING TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY. AND TO ALL OF YOU WHO STAYED HOME IN 2010: "THIS IS YOUR FAULT".We WOULDN'T BE FIGHTING FOR THESE THINGS IF WE HAD A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.
