Backbone! (Krugman)
Backbone!

So President Obama — perhaps with some backstopping from Democrats in Congress — has his limits. And he seemed genuinely angry. Good.

More and more, I think this will end up with the constitutional option: just saying that the 14th amendment and the debt ceiling are incompatible, and ignoring the limit. Let the GOP go ahead and try to impeach: the whole world knows who’s intransigent here.

2. You bet.
I knew he'd be throwing crumbs after he ripped the President for shit that Krugman didn't know jack about but had to run his mouth to put down PBO. Krugman is a whiner.

6. Very well thought out insults and attacks
just like the Republicans would do. Why act like a Republican and attack Krugman this way, attacking the messenger.

Can you explain why you think Krugman is a whiner and why you disagree with him? I bet you can't, for stating the facts is not whining.

Or were you joking? It does seem like a bad joke...

Peace,
Tex Shelters
