For those conservatives who did not vote this election and helped Obama win, here is the message those who DID support Obama got : ( from Krugman's editorial ) :

"But it would be fair for the new administration to point out how conservative ideology, the belief that greed is always good, helped create this crisis. What F.D.R. said in his second inaugural address — “We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we know now that it is bad economics” — has never rung truer.

This guy is such a fraud. The fact that he won a nobel in economics just reinforces how worthless the prize is after Arafat and Gore won it.

If the election of our first African-American president didn’t stir you, if it didn’t leave you teary-eyed and proud of your country, there’s something wrong with you.

Oh, it left me teary-eyed alright, but not because I'm a self-loathing moron who would vote for the first black candidate placed before me regardless of his lack of qualifications.

Couldn't get much further than that in this piece (of shite).

CONSERAVTIVE CREATED THIS CRISIS?
PLease! Remove your head out of your arse, Krugman.
The dems didn't start this domino collapse with their “brilliant” social engineering wet dream at Fannie and Freddie years ago?

I bet the New York Times wants some government pie to keep them from going under.

The election left me teary-eyed, but not the way Krugman is getting at.

I guess there's something wrong with me. I can live with that.

I for one, hope he follows this advice so we can get back in there sooner.

Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008, is a date that will live in fame (the opposite of infamy) forever. If the election of our first African-American president didn’t stir you, if it didn’t leave you teary-eyed and proud of your country, there’s something wrong with you.

Right off the bat, I fully admit that there is something wrong with me. The fact that a person who is 1/7 black got elected to the presidency does not make me proud. I don't care what color a person is, but I do care about their morals, judgement, and experience--none of which o seems to have.

What happened, happened, and we'll somehow get through these next 4 years--but I'll never be proud of it!

Is Krugman part of Obama’s economic advisory team?
I thought I read that somewhere. Maybe not.

Don't we have something called “The Constitution” to protect certain Citizens from being robbed by their Government for the benefit of another group of “worthy” Citizens?

Please let me know what Country I'm living in. I could have sworn I was born in the United States of America, but I could be wrong.

BTW - I want a piece of that Nobel money Krugman got.
I deserve it more than he does.

There is something wrong with me, according to Krugman. I don’t judge or evaluate by skin color but by character and accomplishments, and Obama fails both categories miserably. I was greatly disappointed by his election, but teary? No, just disgusted.

"If the election of our first African-American president didn’t stir you, if it didn’t leave you teary-eyed and proud of your country, there’s something wrong with you."

Sorry Krudman, I'm not proud of my countrymen who voted in a marxist hell bent on destroying the nation as we knew it to usher in a Marxist dictatorship.

Teary eyed, yes, but for the loss of the nation, the giving up of our freedom so many fought and died for in it's defense.

"Let’s hope that Mr. Obama has the good sense to ignore this advice.

Oh I agree, lets hope. The sooner people are jolted back to their senses the better. Go Obama Go! drive the nation into the darkest deepest depression it has ever seen.

All those who were expecting the Messiah to fill their gas tanks and pay their mortgages will be bitterly disappointed.

"They now have bigger majorities in both houses than the G.O.P. ever achieved in its 12-year reign. '

Bush served three terms?
Krudman can count just as good as Obama.

From the article: “But it would be fair for the new administration to point out how conservative ideology, the belief that greed is always good, helped create this crisis.”

Actually, that’s the progressive ideology, Krugman. Your side is the one that’s selling greed and envy. After all, since we’re such a rich country, everyone deserves free stuff, right?

Conservatives understand greed is bad, but they are pragmatic about its motivating effect in a fallen world. Sure, it would be great if everyone shared everything according to need, but that simply doesn’t work. It’s been tried...many times...and it always produces less for everyone.

When properly channeled, greed produces social good. What do I mean by properly channeled? Well, when people get to benefit from their hard work to get more stuff, that ends up helping everyone by improving the economy. On the other hand, when people satisfy their greed by taking from others, the economic pie is reduced for all.

For a Nobel prize winner, you sure know very little about economics, Mr. Krugman.

Go drink another gallon of Kool-Aid , Krugman. It left me disgusted America is so brain dead because of our TVs we elected/ the media selected a Kenyan-born communist.

....................Can Barack Obama really usher in a new era of progressive policies? Yes, he can................


Yes he can! Yes he can!! Hope! Change!!

Krugman believes that all that is under governmental control is good, ergot, anything that 0bama espouses is good.

Krugman is a total, blithering, complete, flaming asshole!

He won by about 4 - 6 points. NOT A MANDATE to take OUR MONEY! We have been trying to pay for our house, our three kids’ college, and retirement for the 35 years we have been married. It is robbery to TAKE it and give it to deadbeats now! We worked hard, scrimped, saved.... We hope to KEEP OUR money! We do plan to EAT and to stay off of public assistance for the next few decades!
