Krugman is like Dan Rather minus the credibility.

Insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Will the Leftists finally give up on Keynesian economics that has driven the country into the ditch every time it’s been tried? I doubt it.

Now President Obama appears to have "lost" New York Times liberal economic columnist Paul Krugman

He doesn't care!
People are judging this guy based on how a normal politician behaves. They usually want to get reelected.
Obarry wants to destroy America.
I think at this point he knows he won't be reelected, so he's just out to do as much damage as he can before he's shown the door.

The kenyan imposter has not lost Krugman. Krugman is simply trying to give his little Marxist buddy a hand. Progressives don’t ever give in. Nor do they change their stripes.

If you’ve lost Krugman, you’ve lost the Upper East Side.

How droll.

"Krugman asked an essential question: "Why are people who know better sugarcoating economic reality? The answer, I'm sorry to say, is that it's all about evading responsibility."

Gee, I don't know Krugman, maybe because you spineless, terrorist loving pieces of @#$% have carried his water for so long?

In addition to evading responsibility of course. That goes without saying.

Add to the problem of a sluggish economy the fact that the government swilled Dom Pérignon in an effort to stimulate it and here is what you are left with...

The recession was bad enough before Obama's retrograde policies...but now we not only have a bad economy, we have a mountain of NEW debt.

If this is a recovery what the hell does a relapse feel like?

Obama has not lost Krugman. In that article referred to above Krugman continually bashes Republicans, while offering suggestions to Obama. For example, Krugman states:

So officials could, with considerable justification, place the onus for the non-recovery on Republican obstructionism. But they’ve chosen, instead, to draw smiley faces on a grim picture, convincing nobody. And the likely result in November — big gains for the obstructionists — will paralyze policy for years to come.

Krugman is just playing "Papa" with Obama and admonishing him a bit. But he still loves the kid.

Krugman, like every NYT’s Ivy Leaguer, won’t let objective data get in the way of their beliefs. You are dealing with a religion, not a political party. Do you think Crusaders had any problems with looting, raping, and murdering when they were told they doing so with Christ’s blessing? Its the same thing here.

But Krugman’s complaints are that Obama hasn’t taxed and spent ENOUGH! He hasn’t lost Krugman, because Krugman wants him to do exactly what he’s been doing but X 10.

As best I recall Krugman’s prior stances he has been 100% consistent. Spend more. For months he has exasperatedly been sniping at Obama’s failure of nerve and leadership in refusing to follow Krugman’s advice to go all in.

if Obama’s primary concern at this point is what Krugman thinks, we are in far, far worse trouble than even I think we are

Cronkite only had "credibility" because he was one of the very few games in town when it came to "news." There was no one out there to refute or correct Cronkite when he either got it wrong or when he decided to inject his own personal spin on a story.

Krugman, while he probably revels in being compared to Cronkite, has never worked in an environment where he has that sort of monopoly over an audience. Just about everything Krugman writes is easily refuted to the point where none of us, and hopefully increasing numbers of his readers, take him seriously at all.

All this presupposes that Obama is an American.

There is absolutely no evidence to support that supposition.

[has bowed to the reality that they are not working]

...now all he has to do is come to the reality that it wasn’t supposed to work but to destroy the economy then he will have true awakening.

Both Johnson and Obastard kept doing the same thing and expecting different results. And just like Johnson had no idea how to win the war, Obastard has no idea how to turn the economy around.
