... "not that I liked what Reagan did, but he was consequential."

About 50 minutes ago, in an interview with Fareed Zakaria, CNN. Zakaria asked Krugman to grade Obama, and Krugman said that in "grading the difficulty of the test" (specifically the behavior of Obama's opponents) he would give him an A-.

Fascinating, given some of the assessments here.

I expect the OP in GD to either sink like a stone, or become a flamefest, but I just wanted to share.

Cheers.

7. I like Paul. I think he is an honest man who realizes how close to the abyss Bush took our country.

And then Palin and McCain were acting like they were willing to push the country off of the edge with their "drill, baby, drill" hillbilly act.

If the media had been fair and honest about his accomplishments, instead of being as negative as is humanly possible without becoming Faux news, the dogone RETHUGS would not have overtaken my state two years back..
