Reply #26: As Krugman says: Hooray for the best we can expect from this president. [View All]

This is your idea of a ringing endorsement?

Krugman, as usual, is right again. In this administration of constantly lowered expectations, this tiny effort is to be lauded as a good thing. The words and the passion were there. But in line with most of Krugman's thoughts about what comes from this administration - too little - too late.

Had the president decided to do something when he was elected - you know when he had a mandate and the support of the country - this would have been a walk. And he wouldn't have had to pander to the republicans with the medicare stuff.

Oh. Well. It's what we've got. it is the new normal.
