Apart from the Warren issue, which I don't know much about, Krugman hit the nail right on the head. The list of Obama's failures is just too long to enumerate. ("Failures" in the sense that he disappointed his most enthusiastic backers, "failures" as in "roads not taken.") I am left heartsick over this man's performance in office. Krugman was, if anything, way too laconic in portraying Obama's failures. On every important issue, he has given in to the conservative right.
Obama deserves to lose and lose big. If I could vote, I'd never vote for him again, nor would I vote for the Democratic Party. Their inaction after they were handed a massive mandate for change, the unnecessary compromises they made, all demand a resounding slap in the face from every liberal who ever supported them. Stay home on Election Day, folks. Cutting your liberal nose to spite your liberal face? So be it.
