He's a Nobel Prize winning economist. Is that too high and mighty for the right wing sensibilities on this board?

Obama is a Nobel peace prize winner and has droned a bunch of kids and kept humans detained at Guantanamo even though he said he would close it.

Perhaps if you post it, and actually discuss it rather than trolling it as the other poster did, it won't get anchored.

I'm not for censorship Rex, but Krugman legit sucks. He still pumps out Keynesian Resurgence Economics even though he(and his school of economic thought) gets proven wrong time and time again, most notably during recessionary periods.

As to your question. I have no idea why it was anchored. Was it his opinion article on Obama's success?

Why would we anchor anything Rex or AU posted?

Why not start this thread in the Help Board?

I'd like to see the article that has created all of this fuss. Perhaps you can bump an older discussion on the topic or post about it on the appropriate boards.

The only rational explanation is that the boards moderators are Democrats and knew that there was nothing in that article that could make Obama look good.

I read Krugman every week. He's an idiot. But I'm into free speech. Let the Krugman's of the world have a place on this board. It's all about freedom.

For starters, there is already a thread on this exact same topic.

Secondly, winning a Nobel prize does not make one all-knowing, nor does it excuse his personality and current partisanship. He isn't nearly as respected as Democrats make him out to be. That is a byproduct of his and his fans' partisanship.

And if you hold Nobel prizes in such high regard, let's not forget Black, Scholes, and Merton.

Nobel Prize


An award that really doesn't mean anything now. Obama won it and he's bombing countries left and right.

You probably love Krugman's Keynesian garbage.
