You know Obama is in trouble when a hard left liberal such as New York Times Paul Krugman is on Sunday Talk show calling Obama “has had no vision.” No wonder Obama’s poll number has dropped like a rock. Even the liberals are publicly attacking him.

I was even more surprised to hear Krugman praising Reagan for leading the country down to a better path. As you might recall that when Reagan took office in 1981, the Prime rate was as high as 21.5% on December 19, 1980. With our first child coming, we had to buy a house and move out of the apartment. We almost bought a house in Carrollton with a 17% mortgage. We ended up assuming a FHA loan with a 13% interest rate. That was tough, believe me. Fortunately we had a conservative in the White House and the rest was history.
Yeah thank God for Reagan. Presidents who use tax payers money to fund a decent healthcare system = evil socialists!!!!
Presidents who use tax payers money to fund right winged terrorists throughout Latin America = True Americans. Imperialistic, narcissistic, businessmen with absolutely no sense of social justice or human decency; the American way.
I think you need to re-watch the clip. He didn’t praise Reagan for leading the country down a better path, he praised Reagan for articulating his message and saying, “Look, this is how we’re doing things, so get on board” and not waffling.
Krugman has no love for Reagan or his policies. He’s a socialist and you really need to understand that. He believes that Obama’s problem is that he hasn’t been forceful enough (despite the fact that every policy that he’s succeeded in has been against the will of the populace).
What’s notable is Thomas Friedman’s comments regarding Obama’s “mandate.”
Rea this article to understand everything you need to know about Krugman. It’s titled “Debunking the Reagan Myth.”
