22. I wish we would see more stories on the News about Krugman winning the Nobel
Peace Prize. It should be at the top of the news cycle. It is that important.

12. The poster had a typo
but Joe Scarborough made it clear that he hates Krugman, said that he's very closed-minded, and said that the Nobel Prize Krugman won was politically-motivated.

15. And over on GE's CNBC Joe Kernen was trashing Krugman to his face...
but Krugman gave as good as he got. GE/MSBMC does not like any policy but Friedmanomics...Reagan/Bushie Govt. The long knives are out since they finally see the results of those policies and can't admit they are wrong.

11. hmm..
someone i know has lately been posting things that equate an obama election with a certain depression. so, taking a cue from your headline, i googled "krugman obama" and everything was about how he had been refuting (point-by-point, in some cases) obama's economic plan. granted, this was back from last year and even up to this summer. were there any points he highlighted so that i can fight back the smear campaign?

13. Yes he brought up Obama's stimulus package for main street.
He also mentioned a stimulus for job creation.

19. Is Krugman a contender for Sec. of Treasury?
I know Obama has mentioned Buffet, but perhaps Krugman would be the better choice, since Buffet's perspective is that of the Wall Street Titan.

21. I don't think Krugman would want it
He's commented in the past that he thinks public office wouldn't suit him, I think.
