If you're going to miss a president, why not miss a good one?

If you take success to mean that you achieved what you set out to do (although negative), Obama is pretty damn successful as a president.

Would you like me to link to an Ann Coulter article?
Would literally be the same as what you did.

Makes you wonder why Dems are not telling people they voted for him.
Surely these dems want to be associated with all this success?

No no no no. If you're going to mock Krugman on this then you need to include a little more context.

There. He sounds a hell of a lot sillier that way.

Just one of many Krugman failures.

On Dodd-Frank...
Now THAT is socialism.
quote:
But it's easy to prove that this is nonsense: Just look at how institutions behave when they're designated as SIFIs. Are they pleased, because they're now guaranteed? Not a chance. Instead, they're furious over the extra regulation, and in some cases fight bitterly to avoid being placed on the list. Right now, for example, MetLife is making an all-out effort to be kept off the SIFI list; this effort demonstrates that we're talking about real regulation here, and that financial interests don't like it.
quote:
Another key provision in Dodd-Frank is ''orderly liquidation authority,'' which gives the government the legal right to seize complex financial institutions in a crisis. This is a bigger deal than you might think. We have a well-established procedure for seizing ordinary banks that get in trouble and putting them into receivership; in fact, it happens all the time. But what do you do when something like Citigroup is on the edge, and its failure might have devastating consequences? Back in 2009, Joseph Stiglitz and yours truly, among others, wanted to temporarily nationalize one or two major financial players, for the same reasons the FDIC takes over failing banks, to keep the institutions running but avoid bailing out stockholders and management. We got a chance to make that case directly to the president. But we lost the argument, and one key reason was Treasury's claim that it lacked the necessary legal authority. I still think it could have found a way, but in any case that won't be an issue next time.
Now THAT is socialism.

Krugman exhibits a lot of the flaws of arrogance often seen in, sadly, a fair number of economists and physicists.

He faced scorched-earth Republican opposition from Day One, and it took him years to start dealing with that opposition realistically.

He had a completely Democratic controlled Senate and House for 2 years. How is that "facing opposition"?
Democrats - the party for stupid people

In the coming months, this board will scream media bias more and more as it becomes more and more apparent Obama has done a good job. Especially considering the circumstances with the GOP willing to do as much harm as possible or necessary in what history will ultimately document as a failed attempt to thwart Obama - no matter the cost.
Mark it down, media bias will be the primary talking point when posters entrenched belief's here do not square with reality.
