Krugman is always fact based (5.00 / 4) (#47)

That is why he annoys so many Obama supporter's. He doesn't "attack", he "criticizes", Clinton and McCain and Obama. Clinton supporters aren't that sensitive to fair criticism of their candidate, while Obama supporters see any criticism of their candidate as an "attack". Clinton supporters, by and large, recognize that she is a politician and a human being, and so is Obama.

In all fairness, Krugman does criticize Obama's health care plan more than he does Clinton's. But he has been completely consistent in his criticisms of the plans - he simply wants universal health care and feels that Clinton's plan is closer to his ideal system. Krugman has also made some negative comments about Obama supporters, which is not the same as insulting the candidate. Obama supporters get very offended when you refer to "cultists", but the reality is that many Obama supporters (not all) have been acting like members of a personality cult. Krugman is not being unfair or inaccurate when he refers to this.

Obama lost supporters (none / 0) (#59)

when he stooped low and used the Insurance industry's 1993-94 "Harry and Louise" ad against Hillary.
The GOP will be using those Obama ads against universal health care during the general - regardless of the Dem nominee.
Gee thanks, Obama!

But what's really crazy is Obama's later ads claiming his health care plan IS universal.

He was against UHC before he was for it?
