I guessed Krugman in about a half second. He’s gone full retard.
Next he’s going to tell us Moochelle is the most gorgeous first lady in history.

None other than Paul Krugman – the Nobel Prize-winning economist – once one of the president’s most notable critics, explains why Obama is a historic success…
Excerpted from Rolling Stone (read full Op-Ed here),
Obama faces trash talk left, right and center – literally – and doesn’t deserve it.
Despite bitter opposition, despite having come close to self-inflicted disaster, Obama has emerged as one of the most consequential and, yes, successful presidents in American history. His health reform is imperfect but still a huge step forward – and it’s working better than anyone expected. Financial reform fell far short of what should have happened, but it’s much more effective than you’d think. Economic management has been half-crippled by Republican obstruction, but has nonetheless been much better than in other advanced countries. And environmental policy is starting to look like it could be a major legacy.
…
Yes, Obama has a low approval rating compared with earlier presidents. But there are a number of reasons to believe that presidential approval doesn’t mean the same thing that it used to.
…
A constant of his time in office is the onslaught from the right, which has never stopped portraying him as an Islamic atheist Marxist Kenyan. Nothing has changed on that front, and nothing will.
Finally, there’s the constant belittling of Obama from mainstream pundits and talking heads.
…
Am I damning with faint praise? Not at all. This is what a successful presidency looks like. No president gets to do everything his supporters expected him to. FDR left behind a reformed nation, but one in which the wealthy retained a lot of power and privilege. On the other side, for all his anti-government rhetoric, Reagan left the core institutions of the New Deal and the Great Society in place. I don’t care about the fact that Obama hasn’t lived up to the golden dreams of 2008, and I care even less about his approval rating. I do care that he has, when all is said and done, achieved a lot. That is, as Joe Biden didn’t quite say, a big deal.

No comment…
One of my ultra lefty lunch buddies finally confessed a couple weeks ago that Obama is a horrible president, much to the shock of the other lefties at the table, but then he backpedaled a bit by saying that he shudders to think how bad things would be if “that warhawk McCain” had gotten elected. Yeah, that peacenik hippy Obama has really been the death knell for the military industrial complex. LOL… the only difference between the two presidencies would be the press doing front page reporting on the moronic things Palin would be saying rather than downplaying the moronic things Biden has been saying.
Obama, Not Reagan, Was Hollywood’s First President
By Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D.
In movies, handsome men and beautiful women speak eloquent words written by others and perform profound or heroic actions that they were never required to do in real life.
Like a Hollywood fantasy, Obama’s is a make-believe presidency. No one expects leadership from a celebrity and no one expects him to mean what he says.
Obama is at his best on a stage set with human props in the background, reading from a teleprompter script to an audience of adoring fans.
Like the son of a Hollywood mogul, Obama breezed through life with an Affirmative Action wind at his back. He was made President of the Harvard Law Review having never written a legal article, was an unremarkable Illinois state senator and made no impact on national events in his brief tenure as a US senator. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize based on rhetoric rather than accomplishment.
Much like the intellectual vacuity of Hollywood, Obama’s incompetence is camouflaged by the ignorant approval of naïve or ideological groupies and a fawning and uncritical media.
Unlike Obama, Ronald Reagan earned his success and demonstrated leadership throughout his career. He was elected both high school and college student body president. Reagan studied at Eureka College, a small Christian school near Peoria, on a half-tuition scholarship. He majored in economics and sociology, took part in dramatics, football, track and swimming. After graduation, he worked as a sportscaster and signed a movie contract as a result of a screen test for a radio announcer role, while in California for the Chicago Cubs spring training. Reagan became president of the Screen Actors Guild in 1947 and was elected to five more terms. He was twice elected Governor of California as a Republican in the consummate Democratic state.
Unlike Obama, Reagan demonstrated an uncommon ability to give voice to the innate patriotism of the American people and, more than any other politician of his time; he had an affectionate, long-lasting relationship with his countrymen. On his 70th day as president, March 30, 1981, after an address to labor leaders at the Washington Hilton Hotel, shots were fired and an assassin’s bullet lodged one inch from his heart. The grace, courage and, yes, the humor with which he handled that event, cemented his affectionate relationship with the American people.
Unlike Obama, narcissism, arrogance and pretentiousness were not the Reagan style. He was the American’s American, a president we could take pride in when he traveled to other countries, even if there was the occasional gaffe. Reagan deflected much ridicule by leading the laughter himself. He had good speechwriters, but Reagan’s delivery always glorified the material rather than glorifying himself.
Would anyone ever expect Obama to describe America as “that shining city on a hill?”
In a recent interview, former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said that Obama “has the guts to do the right thing” on ISIS, for example, but the real question is whether he will make the decision to act.
Isn’t the essence of courage, though, the ability to act decisively, not merely having the intention to do so?
The audacious actions taken by Reagan changed history, led to the fall of the Soviet empire and the freedom of Eastern Europe.
Obama fails because world and national events cannot be addressed simply by words scripted into a teleprompter, but require courage and resoluteness. If Obama changes history, it will most likely be due to inaction abroad and the implementation of flawed policies at home, both to the detriment of the United States.
Unlike Obama, Ronald Reagan was vilified by a biased media, scorned by Hollywood elitists and ridiculed by leftist university faculties, but he was an ardent patriot, a proven leader and a man loved by ordinary Americans.
What does that tell you?

I wonder if he gets bribed to write this crap. He’s such a tool.
I just have two questions I wanna aks,
1)– How many teeth does Moochelle have?
2)– Are there enough to bite off Krugman’s cock?
This is a thread where we really miss AWD
Bath House Paulie strikes again.
I always figured the proper punishment for Bath House would be to put him a carnival cage and have him travel with the circus.
At the Michigan State Nebraska football game there was a Public Service Announcement about student rape, towards the end of the PSA the second obama’s face appeared the student section erupted in boos.
Smart kids.
Ronald Reagon was a patriot from the WW2 generation who loved this nation and understood the price that had been paid.Obama is a Marxist who hates this nation.
Paul Krugman….perhaps never has a man been so consistently wrong about so many things. If he were truly an idiot, then he would get some things right at least some of the time. No one could have such a low batting average as him based on chance alone, therefore I can only conclude that he knows the truth and just says what is asked of him to spread whatever BS propaganda is needed at the time.
TJF
Change “Paul Krugman” to “Oreo” …. and the rest of your comment would still be 100% correct.
Krugman has obviously had another psychotic break. He needs to pick up a copy of this book and read it until the fog clears in his head.

Moochelle looks like a silver back.
Urban Dictionary: ” A term used to describe the larger “buck” or bigger undomesticated black male. ”
She could be a buck nigger – may have a cock?
Obama BS removal tool. Order one for a Libtard having second thoughts.
While it’s my belief Earth would be a smoldering cinder by now had the McCain/Palin ticket won the 2008 election, Obama is one of the worst Presidents in recent history and has done more damage than any other with the exception of the Bush/Cheney admin that brought us 9/11 and the “Patriot” act.
