Krugman is trashing Obama again. Maybe anxiety about upcoming layoffs at the NYT has made him bitter:
During the closing days of the Pennsylvania primary fight, the Obama campaign ran a TV ad repeating the dishonest charge that the Clinton plan would force people to buy health insurance they can’t afford.
Hillary does indeed want to foist a draconian mandate on the electorate, and Krugman fails to explain what was so “dishonest” about the ad. He does, however, produce one of weirdest non sequiturs I have ever encountered:
The question Democrats … should be asking themselves is this: now that the magic has dissipated, what is the campaign about? More generally, what are the Democrats for in this election?
In other words, Obama’s campaign has no rationale and the Democrats must be confused if they can’t see that. Krugman and others want to know why they are allowing the race to go on.
Well, dude, its called “democracy.” It isn’t neat and it isn’t pretty, but it beats defering to the judgment of some lickspittle hoping to find work in a second Clinton Administration.
