Krugman says Obama took progressives' trust for granted..

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/21/opinion/21krugman.html?_r=1&ref=opinion

<snip>
According to news reports, the Obama administration — which seemed, over the weekend, to be backing away from the “public option” for health insurance — is shocked and surprised at the furious reaction from progressives.

<snip>
And then there’s the matter of the banks.

I don’t know if administration officials realize just how much damage they’ve done themselves with their kid-gloves treatment of the financial industry, just how badly the spectacle of government supported institutions paying giant bonuses is playing. But I’ve had many conversations with people who voted for Mr. Obama, yet dismiss the stimulus as a total waste of money. When I press them, it turns out that they’re really angry about the bailouts rather than the stimulus — but that’s a distinction lost on most voters.

<snip>
It’s hard to avoid the sense that Mr. Obama has wasted months trying to appease people who can’t be appeased, and who take every concession as a sign that he can be rolled.

Indeed, no sooner were there reports that the administration might accept co-ops as an alternative to the public option than G.O.P. leaders announced that co-ops, too, were unacceptable.

So progressives are now in revolt. Mr. Obama took their trust for granted, and in the process lost it. And now he needs to win it back.

I am shocked I tell you... SHOCKED

I think there are a lot right here in this forum that support the validity of his opinions.

so I don't care what he has to say, at least in regards to Obama

has no credibility with progressives.

I heard that bogus award was given from some socialist, American-hating country anyway.

More filtering of criticism I say.

Although there is a distinct difference between help and support and telling the President what he should be doing. We elect a president to lead, not follow.

What does that mean? Of course we elect a president to lead. No one here has suggested otherwise. But we don't want him leading us down the wrong path. In 2000 a president was elected and he was an excellent leader. He just lead us in the wrong direction. And before you say it, of course I am not saying Pres Obama is the same as bush*.

My point is that Pres Obama was elected to change, fix and make this country whole again. If, we that supported him, we that he works for, think he is straying from what he told us he would do if we supported him, we have a right, an obligation to let him know.

How do you feel about the public option? Do you think it is essential?

and we ended up with two terrible wars, a crippling dependence on foreign oil and a destroyed economy. Do you think it would be wise for President Obama to allow the far left (or any single group for that matter) to lead him? Are we on the left as arrogant as those on the right to think we and we alone have all the answers?

Now to address your questions. Leadership is not following one group. I didn't work so hard to get Obama elected just to substitute blindly following a different partisan interest group. A good leader listens to ALL the citizens, the experts in the field and then finally his own common sense and good judgment. At the end of the day he must make the final call as failure will be on his head. It's part of the job.


As for the public option I think it's a good idea. Honestly I don't think it's the only way to solve the healthcare crisis. In my opinion far too much is being made of the public option. It's taking away from the critical issue that is crippling our eocnomy, which is the excessive costs that are putting a huge burden our government's budgets as well as making our industries less competitive in the international markets.

The "co-ops" are the way to go. If we can get a 100 people to join the co-op, think of what that will do to drive down the cost of insurance. Oh, the magic of competition..

that honestly and fairly listening doesn't mean you will agree with that person. You may end up disagreeing or you might just take part of an idea from them.

You listen to what he has to say?

What I have seen is that he is extremely biased and has an anti-Obama agenda. So why should I listen to him? What does he have to offer, other than bad anti-Obama talking points. I

the truth.

bush* himself, wanted war badly. He was not forced into war. He and his family relished all the power they accumulated. They did the leading. Even Cheney had to bow down to the Bush Crime Family. He was a tool just like the right-wingnuts.

A large majority of Americans want a strong public option. And those of you (incl CorpMedia) that continue to say that it is only the leftist are trying to marginalize the issue. All who elected Pres Obama did so because he was in favor of a public option. It is only the right that doesnt want it.

Those of you that claim you're in favor of a public option but say it's not the only answer, don't fool anyone. Single payer is the right solution, but because of idiots that support big money we may have to settle for a strong public option. THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE. Do you get it. The line is drawn in the sand bucko. We will not allow the greedy bastards to push us around any more.

Choose a side, either join with the public to fight for our rights or join the greedy bastards and Max Friggin Baucus.

which brought us two wars. He was lead by the oil interests, that led to the energy crisis. He was lead by the partisan republicans that lead to the eoncomic melt down.

It means giving Congress a plan and working to get it passed, not negotiating with himself.

"How do you feel about the public option? Do you think it is essential?"

Without it there is nothing. The best plan was Medicare for all. When these guys lose their jobs (like me) in their mid-50s, buying into Medicare +5% would have been nice. What choice is buying a 12 grand policy from United health care when you lose your job.

And no they don't help. I was in IT and there was and still is NO TRA help. You are on your own.

I claim that it is not just leftist that are pushing for a public option.

Also, this poster waffles on support of the public option. To me that is code for "I support CorpAmerica."

I didn't understand you statements: "And no they don't help. I was in IT and there was and still is NO TRA help. You are on your own." Please explain.

How about focusing on the facts? Nah. That would be too uncomfortable.

I didn't have to shoot him

Krugman speaks for ME!!!

Ignore us at your peril - and you'll have only YOURSELVES to blame...

not in the slightest. You need to learn the difference between "all of us" and "me". You seem to have them badly confused. While you are at it you might want to look up the definition of "truth". Stating an opinion you agree with is definately not the same as "speaking the truth".

the party and the Democratic Congress. Can you say the same thing?

Only problem is that your construct only serves as a

now that the republicans have self destructed. Did you know that Alan Specter is a Democrat. Why the tent is huge and allows anyone in. Max Baucus is a Democrat even tho he has sold his soul for a few pieces of gold.

This isn't a fight between Democrats and republicans. We are in a fight for our lives literally, against the corporatists (CorpAmerica) and their lackeys.

CorpAmerica is spending over a million dollars a day to fight the public option. Whose side are you on?

suggest I am some sort of Johnny come lately (I see you have become a master of the right wing tactic of trying to project your own weaknesses on those you don't agree with). It's clear you don't approach issues in an open minded fashion, based on the intellectually dishonest tactics you employ. I also notice you ignored the question I posed to you (after I answered all of your questions). Since I now see where you are coming from, I am not going to waste any more of my time on you.

And I don't question your sincerity as a Democrat. My point is that there are Democrats that support the middle class struggle and their are Democrats that support the fascist, corporatist take over of America. And health care is a good defining issue.

Single payer or public option will help the middle and lower classes.

Mandatory insurance is a boon for the insurance corporatists and their lackeys (like Baucus).

and it's safe to say he never will. I don't go to the dry cleaner to get my car fixed and I don't go to an economist for political commentary.

But then again, there's no pleasing the Left, either.

The Left, however, is more worthy of Obama's efforts. But the lot of us are aggressive children who demand that magic pony under the Christmas Tree.

I think that right after the Congress reconvenes, Obama will drop the non-partisan act, not that he will like to. The only thing keeping the Right alive is the Press, which wants to keep it's position as the Arbiter Of The Truth Between The Opposites intact. Although Obama craves that title for himself, the Press will insist it belongs to them and them alone.

--d!

for speaking truth to power.

Obama and his Admin, most of whom are corporate hacks, thought they could bait and switch the Left with their triangulation strategy but Progressives are wiser and more aggressive than they were under Clinton.

necessary. We have to offset the clanging (dumb)bells on the right.

The lobbyists' money influence is a huge factor. People have to speak up.

I think you hit the nail on the head, spooky3...

...and keeps kissing up to the bullies, who just laugh at him.

So did Little Red Riding Hood!

...he's being eaten alive.

Little Red Riding Hood is an apt analogy!

It's now clear that TARP 1 worked, more or less, and thanks to Barney Frank's furious legislative drafting, will mostly be paid back.

Geithner's PiP or whatever the fuck he called it was being designed as a giveaway, but his floundering incompetence meant that it has not been enacted and now that it's been shown to be unnecessary, hopefully won't be.

This has hopefully limited bailout backlash.

Generally Krugman has the story right, but I think the administration could do a better job of (1) separating the bailout from the stimulus, and (2) highlighting the portions of the bailout that have been paid back, and (3) publicizing that since the Obama administration, a huge amount of the TARP has gone to small, regional banks.

I dont think so. As I see it, at the end of the bush* looting era, the ruling class saw the opportunity to make the biggest grab in history. All they had to do was point out that our economy was one huge pyramid scheme and that if we didn't give them money they would allow it to crash. So we gave them trillions to prop up the pyramid. Now the pyramid or bubble is back and we are all happy until the next crash. We didn't fix anything that is driving us into debt. We do not manufacture any more. Unemployment is out of site. But Wall Street is happy because their bubble is working.

Hammer

But he's full of shit Re: Obama more often than not, lately.

Just another "moderate" Democratic politician who counts on "not as bad" label to lure progressives.

In fairness to Obama, he was always a very transparent "centrist." I think that progressives who thought he was one of us--and there were many such people on DU--were engaged in wishful thinking.

Whereas, someone like FDR would be "too liberal" to some who call themselves "progressive".

I can see how some might think that all this stuff about Navajo shamans or whatever might be unlikely to come from a Joe Lieberman type.

But his policy proposals were always pure DLC orthodoxy.

tomorrow he is a populist man of the people?

Today he is castigating the President for "taking progressives for granted". Yesterday, I read that Krugman says that losing the Public Option is "no big deal".

The symbol of Mr. Krugman's political affiliation:

is blindly gullible

or works for Goldman Sachs

should be supporting the president and know that he is not some all knowing Zeus. These progressives better not cost us the election to another reign of Republicans.

What do they want?
