Fair enough. And I am perhaps guilty of trying to do that. I do think that Krugman's view is more or less incompatible with what I take yours to be--in that each posits a very different "Obama"--one criticizes Obama for spending too much and the other criticizes him for being too measured, not departing sufficiently from the Bush/Paulson plan and not spending enough.

But I know you're not in Krugman's camp. I guess I more or less am, to the extent that I understand it all. I guess what I should say is that I hope Krugman is wrong about Obama--but I suspect he may be right. Time will tell.
