Paul Krugman: Republicans 'Just Won't Take Yes For An Answer'

Paul Krugman: Republicans 'Just Won't Take Yes For An Answer'

ABratt's favorite public comment from this article:

"The GOPers have been stringing Obama along from the beginning, pretending to be dealing in good faith when their strategy all along was to tie him up in endless negotiations whose failure could then be imputed to his inability to lead. To a remarkable degree, however, it hasn't worked and, as doubtful as the future seems, Obama's position is the stronger of the two. To the extent that the economy continues to grow, or even hold its own, he will get the credit for it. To the extent that it slips back into recession the culprits will just as clearly be the Republicans. And with the party in disarray there will be blood in the water."
