    When Paul Krugman of the New York Times even agrees that Obama has failed, then you really have to wonder...

    I'm guessing in texxx's fervor and glee he forgot to ask himself why Krugman thinks Obama "failed".

    I'm in complete agreement with Krugman. Obama should have told the obstructionist Republicans to piss off and pushed through a more substantial stimulus.

    How can you fail when you've only been president for one month? Are people even going to try to give him a chance?

    bigtexxx finally posts an article that criticizes the GOP's tax cuts and Obama for using too much tax cuts. What has the world come to? :cool:

    just so I am clear
    the suggestion is. . . Obama should have simply RAMMED the thing down
    their throats and say FRAK biPartisanship?

    I'm told that his academic work is much different from his column, but sometimes reading Krugman's column, it seems that he wouldn't be satisfied with anything short of a Bolshevik Revolution.

    lol the liberal pile-on technique fails again

    Obama's half-baked plan was a pitiful attempt to please all, but ended up being a democratic-only supported bust. He basically punted the plan to the pathetically inept liberal congress to figure out, and this is what we got. Remember, completely moronic, incompetent idiots like Maxine Waters are putting this garbage together. Here's a little treat where you get to see Maxine exhibit her lack of knowledge.

    Pretty much, although if you read his columns often enough, you will see he's not completely off the left-wing ditch (at least not all the time).
