Krugman: This Republican Economy

[kenfrequed]

10. I want to throw dead fish

At the first Democrat that stupidly decided to claim "I'm socially moderate and fiscally conservative."

The fact of the matter was that we needed to make a big left turn to get our ass back on the road and instead we just sort of steadied the wheel abit. I don't entirely blame President Obama. He choose a bad team that regularly and routinely misinformed him and worked hard to undercut every reform idea out there. Suskind's book lays out where much of the blame should lie.

There are people that are more interested in defending the pro-bank policies of the administration and some of the cabinet folk than the president himself. There are also people that want to villify the president with every breath they take. Both of these groups will try to tell you that the president is immune to these cabinet and advisor positions and that all the decisions are precisely what he wanted to do. I don't buy it.
