Krugman is brilliant. Obama should recruit him.

@seamoremonster Study finds Paul Krugman is the most partisan economist. Krugman was the only economist to "significantly" change his stances for partisan reasons. Krugman has even gone so far as to contradict his own findings to bash Republican politicians. - Brett Barkley, Econ Journal Watch, May 2010

@islandmuffin There was a study that said tea baggers were well educated too...after seeing them drool over the likes of Paiin and Bachman I didn't take much stock in it.

@seamoremonster Obama uses the vulgar term "tea-bagger" to refer to the Tea Party movement.

White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, does not dispute that Obama uses the term. - Jonathan Alter, Newsweek columnist

@islandmuffin The term "Tea-Bagger" is pretty common now. It's become their brand. Seriously, I have little doubt that Krugman is partisan to an extent. Fox News Coverage is more overtly partisan and I find that far more offensive when their tag line is "Fair and Balanced". I have serious doubts concerning the intellect and integrity of Tea Bagger leadership.... Certainly as portrayed by Bachman and Palin and as financed by Koch Industries.

@seamoremonster Well it pisses us off. I hope you and Obama keep using that vulgar word so we are really - really motivated to vote you out of power.

[seamoremonster]

@islandmuffin Hey, I'm sure it does. And you know some of the images i see at Bagger Rallies of Obama as Hitler...as Obama as a Communist...Obama as a Witch Doctor really pisses us off. Baggers aren't voting anyone out...they are simply a marginal group whose profile has been boosted by media and paid appearance form the likes of Palin. Ron Paul had some integrity, I don't doubt it but Baggers have been taken over by Koch Industry pundits like Armery and Palin.

[islandmuffin]

@seamoremonster Obama is the worst ever!

[seamoremonster]

@islandmuffin Look. He's not exactly my favorite but he's a vast improvement on Bush and Cheney. Note that you can't say Bush without including Cheney...there's a reason for that.

Corruption has infiltrated all systems. Accept it, then do something about it.

Nice tie Keith...

[waltermh111]

lolIt doesnt clash with his dark suit?

It sure doesnt sit well with his white shirt.

But I am not a fashionable type in the least and dont know color coordination.

I just wouldnt wear that tie except maybe with a light colored suit.

Oh well.
