When You’ve Lost Paul Krugman, Who Do You Have Left?

Count NY Times columnist Paul Krugman amongst the biggest Obama-butt boys on the planet. But even he is growing weary of the Resident-in-Chief:

The President Is Missing

What have they done with President Obama? What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular?

Maybe that terrible deal, in which Republicans ended up getting more than their opening bid, was the best he could achieve — although it looks from here as if the president’s idea of how to bargain is to start by negotiating with himself, making pre-emptive concessions, then pursue a second round of negotiation with the G.O.P., leading to further concessions.

And bear in mind that this was just the first of several chances for Republicans to hold the budget hostage and threaten a government shutdown; by caving in so completely on the first round, Mr. Obama set a baseline for even bigger concessions over the next few months.

Not that it matters that he’s losing Krugman — idiots like him have all but already locked in their 2012 votes for more of the same.
