Paul Krugman wonders how President Barack Obama “will deal with the death of his postpartisan dream ,” then notes he has part of the blame for his lack of pushing and explaining the bill, first, and his lack of passion, second.
In other words, as I have blogged before, we needed William Jennings Bryan and got Kumbaya instead.
The paper, meanwhile, backstops Krugman with details of where the “death panel” claims arose.
-END-
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
