Neville "Obama" Chamberlain strikes back at the most dangerous group in the country: liberals (also known as his base)
Obama staffer went on the attack in a blog saying, "Paul Krugman is a political rookie. At least he is when compared to President Obama. That's why he unleashed a screed as soon as word came about the debt ceiling compromise between President Obama and Congressional leaders - to, you know, avert an economic 9/11. Joining the ideologue spheres' pure, fanatic, indomitable hysteria, Krugman declares the deal a disaster - both political and economic - of course providing no evidence for the latter, which I find curious for this Nobel winning economist. He rides the coattails of the simplistic argument that spending cuts - any spending cuts - are bad for a fragile economy, ignoring wholeheartedly his own revious cheerleading for cutting, say, defense spending. But that was back in the day - all the way back in April of this year. [...]
No, the loudest screeching noise you hear coming from Krugman and the ideologue Left is, of course, Medicare. Oh, no, the President is agreeing to a Medicare trigger!!! Oh noes!!! Everybody freak out right now! But let's look at the deal again, shall we? [...]
Now let's get to the fun part: the triggers. The more than half-a-trillion in defense and security spending cut "trigger" for the Republicans will hardly earn a mention on the Firebagger Lefty blogosphere. Hell, it's a trigger supposedly for the Republicans, and of course, there's always It'sNotEnough-ism to cover it."

In it Gibb says people who compare Obama to Bush ought to be drug tested:
Lets prison in Cuba remain open check
Soldiers still in Iraq check
No one from Wall Street crisis prosecuted check
No one from the Bush administration prosecuted check
Have been willing to shoot drones all over the world check
Continues to micromanage the schools check
Did not fight for meaningful change in health care (public option) check
Supported Bush giveaway to the richest taxpayers check
Support working people having to sacrifice for countries excess check
Policy has given huge gifts to the pharmaceutical industry check
Isn't willing to fight for workers check
Has supported energy companies after a disaster check
I wonder why so much of the blogosphere gets the two confused when they see the two. Frankly Paul Krugman has a better track record of governance, none.
