I really enjoyed Paul Krugman's column yesterday about Barack Obama's HUGE GLARING CHARACTER PROBLEM. It was titled "Barack Obama's Trust Problem", and Krugman is totally awesome for writing this column and helping the progressive cause.
Mr. Krugman - who is still trying heroically to get Florida's STOLEN votes counted (in his imaginary tea parties with the DNC rules and bylaws committee) - is the leading truth teller out there when it comes to LIAR LIAR LIAR Barack Obama.
Can we really trust Barack Obama? Krugman doesn't think so. Krugman used the biggest paper in the world to question his character, and I'm glad he did it. Paul Krugman is striking a nerve across the nation with his insightful commentary! I read a similar piece on Obama's trustworthiness in a chain email my white southern grandmother forwarded to me. I also saw "Can we trust Barack Obama" scratched into the stall at a truck stop bathroom next to a picture of a monkey, Osama Bin Laden, and a noose. Paul Krugman really has his finger on the pulse of America! What a populist champion!
Paul Krugman is a brilliant political strategist. During the primaries, he brilliantly predicted that Obama would be unelectable. He's also been great at predicting other stuff, like the COMPLETE FAILURE of Geitner's bank plan. I mean - look at our banks now! They're all underwater!
Krugman seems to fully understand that the key to passing healthcare is depressing the Democratic base through character attacks on Barack Obama. It's important that we go after Obama's character right now, because he really isn't getting much flak from anyone. We need to put PRESSURE on him! that's what we do as progressives! It's not like Obama's being called a Nazi by 20% of the population, or facing unprecedented death threats. Nor is he facing 20% of the population who believes that he is a foreign agent who is ineligible for the presidency. He faces none of these problems. He NEEDS us to tear him apart right now! It's for the progressive cause!!!
Barack Obama is living a cushy sell-out life in the White House. He should have told those banks, "Go to hell!" and let the pitchforks of the angry and UBER-intelligent populist Glenn Beck/Paul Krugman masses dictate policy with their temporary rage against unseen evil forces. The guy is a sell out, and Paul Krugman is right to go after his character.
There is one thing that I know about Barack Obama: he lacks character. He is a terrible person and a liar. Paul Kruman told me so, and the evidence certainly backs it up. He doesn't seem like an earnest, well-meaning, hard working person at all. He seems like a LIAR LIAR pants on FIRE.
UPDATE: This diary advocates that we all praise Obama 100% of the time, or face his death panels! It has nothing to do with calling out clownish over-the-top character attacks from influential progressives! All I'm trying to do here is silence dissent! I'm not trying to mock ridiculous hyperbole from bearded Nobel prize winners...I'm trying to shut up ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER CRITICIZED OBAMA! I definitely don't criticize Obama's political strategy in the comment section about 15 times. IT NEVER HAPPENED! Nope. I'm just attacking fake straw men like Paul Krugman, who is imaginary and invisible and irrelevant!
