Paul Krugman on Obama: “[I]t’s really good to see how much he gets it.”
From one of Obama’s harshest critics on the left:
I found Obama’s health care presentation so impressive — so much command of the issues — that it had me worried. If I really like a politicians’ speech, isn’t that an indication that he lacks the popular touch? (A couple of points off for “incentivize” — what ever happened to “encourage”? — but never mind.)
Seriously, it’s really good to see how much he gets it.
As you can imagine, this will probably drive the tiny tribe of sneering anti-Obama Hillary Kucinich supporters, who won’t stop relitigating the primaries, 100% batshit crazy. Day = made. Good morning, sun.
MORE: Make sure you check out Krugman’s well-placed smackdown of Howie Fineman in the update. Ouch. So very shrill.
