To be clear, Krugman's problem is that Obama is not spending enough fast enough. You believe there should be more stimulus spending ASAP?
If you haven't read the WSJ piece why did you even respond to my post that Krugman and the WSJ were criticizing Obama for two different reasons with this: ?
It's interesting that the market went from 14,000 to 8,000 under Bush but it's Obama who is ruining it all. Republicans are priceless, it's just really one comedy routine after another.
apparently walton and johnson picked up on this manchurian candidate theme this morning, at least that's what I could glean from a co worker
Obama the "Manchurian Candidate"? Brilliant! I thought he looked a bit Chinese. And what's up with his sister marrying a Chinese guy and his brother marrying a Chinese woman. And look at the record number of Chinese-Americans in his administration. Coincidence? I think not. Let the hunt for Commies begin!
Actually, judging by the way he screwed up our economy, divided the nation, and ruined our image around the world, I think George W. looks a bit suspicious too. Look at how friendly he was to Beijing, insisting on going to the Olympics and all. Cann't let our guard down, them Commies are sneaky bastards. I am sure there isn't just one Manchurian candidate.
Maybe you meant it in jest. I wouldn't put too much stock in this. Gary Locke is only an after afterthought. You could say Bush had record number of Chinese-American (Elaine Chao) in his administration, considering that in all previous 40-some administrations that number is ZERO.
There is a real division of photochop talent that I don't quite understand. Remember the Rushmore of Hate or whatever? (No longer available on the interwebs, sadly.) I actually liked the Erckel (sp) one a decent bit. Instead of referencing apes or communists, highlighting the nerdy bookish youthfulness of Obama has traction. I'm serious. That's more effective anti-marketing than all this other incompetent spew.
I find it ironic that no one looks into the reason the bailout for banks is taking so long. Could it be that Timothy doesn't have a staff to help him? Why doesn't he have a staff? Well, because Republicans are being super super aggressive on tax issues about the vetting process, and thereby forcing a lot of people to drop out of consideration because Obama is being super super tight about who he lets in? So this is the price for making sure we get people who have a clean record. And the price is we have to wait on critical issues. You can't have it both ways.
