Letto l’editoriale di Krugman sul New York Times di ieri, in particolare questo passaggio

But there’s a point at which realism shades over into weakness, and progressives increasingly feel that the administration is on the wrong side of that line. 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.

ho pensato che probabilmente in questo momento Obama ha bisogno di un Leo McGarry che gli faccia un discorso così.
