Obama Campaign Staffer Sends Out Email Bashing Paul Krugman And 'Firebagger Lefty Blogosphere'

Yup.



Obama likes to use the 'drove the car into a ditch' metaphor. Those that drove it shouldn't be given the keys back. Well, with the power to make changes and lead, who was the person appointing Summers, Geithner, Bernanke, Sperling, et. al. to economic advisory and cabinet posts? That is, who put the keys to the economy into the hands of the architects who helped destroy it due to their misfeasanc­e, malfeasanc­e, and/or incompeten­ce?



Granted, as Krugman freely admits, he isn't the president of the country and doesn't have to actually do the heavy lifting. But he, Stiglitz, and many others have been on the record for many years as opposing the policies that led to the crash in 2007/8. I listened to an interview Krugman gave a few weeks before the 2008 election in which Krugman expressed great confidence in Obama, predicated on Obama following through with his campaign rhetoric.



For this Sandoval guy to attack Krugman for consistent­ly being correct in assessing economic policy problems - and for calling those who posit flawed policy like the previous regime and the current one - is beyond weak.



As much as I really don't care what some state hack in New Mexico says, if this signals the tenor of the Obama 2012 campaign, it's clear where the political amateurs are located.
