THIS IS A BOG POST

... "not that I liked what Reagan did, but he was consequential."

About 50 minutes ago, in an interview with Fareed Zakaria, CNN. Zakaria asked Krugman to grade Obama, and Krugman said that in "grading the difficulty of the test" (specifically the behavior of Obama's opponents) he would give him an A-.

Fascinating, given some of the assessments here.

I expect the OP in GD to either sink like a stone, or become a flamefest, but I just wanted to share.

Cheers.
