In his recent Rolling Stone cover story (“In Defense of Obama,”
October 8), Nobel Prize-winning economist, peak liberal and New York
Times commentator Paul Krugman lays out what he believes is a qualified
defense of Barack Obama’s presidency: A sycophantic love letter from a
man who surely must know better, but either has chosen to ignore six
years of war, economic pain and social tension, or simply doesn’t care.
