Reply #86: If Krugman is simply giving an independent view of policies why does he feel

[grantcart]

compelled to balance his criticism of Hillary's atrocious pandering with the gas tax holiday by finding something positive to 'balance' balance his criticism. Can you site another instance where he criticised Obama and then felt compelled to come back and change the subject to offer a compliement to Obama on another subject.


He is a clear apologist for Clinton and there is no criticism of him for it - but to try and push his independence when his own writing above clearly shows that he feels he has to balance any criticism with some positive remarks on another subject is laughable.
