About Krugman, what tee's me off.
The Corporate media treated Krugman like a nutcase when he was criticizing Shrub and now that he's doing it to Obama, he's the final expert. Do they not see the hypocrisy?

4. You are, of course, correct. But you are interfering with the preferred narrative.

2. instead -- others treat krugman like a nutcase.
krugman is not the only one critisizing the financials bailout and the ties from the stimulous to the financials.

if people want change then they need to shake the tree -- and working for that kind of change early in the obama admin is much better than trying to get it done later.

3. The way I remember it, under Bush Dr. Krugman was treated like an expert.
Under Obama he is treated like a nut case. Dr. Krugman has disagreed with both presidents. In my opinion that probably make him right and both presidents wrong.

6. He was never treated like "a nutcase."
That conspiracy theory doesn't work.
