In one of the weirdest articles I have ever seen, Paul Krugman of the New York Times claims that the debt ceiling crisis is the result of president Obama and the Democrats being too conservative. Krugman calls Obama a "moderate conservative". He says that the media is too quick to blame the dispute on partisan bickering when the Democrats are giving in on everything but getting no credit for that. He says that this is crazy. Of course, then he gets in his shot at actual conservatives by saying, "my feeling about those people is that they are what they are; you might as well denounce wolves for being carnivores. Crazy is what they do and what they are."
Only a true believer like Krugman could possibly look at Obama and the Obamacrats and say that they are just agreeing to everything the GOP wants. Maybe he missed Obama's psychotic speech to the nation two days ago in which Obama called for tax increases while endorsing a plan that had no tax increases. Maybe he missed Harry Reid's plan that tries to call the end of the war in Iraq a spending cut. Maybe he missed Obama telling the country in effect that the only plan he could support would be one that pushes the next debt fight past the day he runs for re-election.
Krugman is always good for a laugh, but this is so far out there as to lead me to wonder if he is losing his mind.
