What Didn't Happen-By PAUL KRUGMAN New York Times

I found an article called, "What Didn't Happen," from the New York Times. The article was written by Paul Krugman. It talks about how the public has been second guessing the actions of President Obama and how he has too much emphasis in the healthcare issue rather than on improving our downed economy. Krugman disagrees with the public opinion and states, "The Obama administration’s troubles are the result not of excessive ambition, but of policy and political misjudgments." I think I agree with what Krugman is stating here. The Obama administration just came in with an arrogant attitude and thought they were going to switch these bad time and bad issues in this country, straight into good time and turn those bad issues into good issues. That administration is just going to have to be more patient and needs to put their focus on the US as a whole and not single out the groups of small people that need help now but let them also benefit when Obama effects this country as a whole.

  1. Interesting. Krugman says Obama needs to do more and be more aggressive about it.
