His argument is the same as David Brooks
It is silly. These guys are trying to say that because Obama's campaign message has evolved that shows he has a serious problem. Remember when Hillary was the "above the fray" candidate because everybody thought she would sail to the nomination? Krugman could just as easily write an article about her message changing.
If Obama was a one-note hopemonger he would not be winning. His arguments have to become increasingly sophisticated and fresh as the electorate gets to know him. He is proving that he is not an "empty suit" but in fact the winner and the person best likely to hold off the Republican machine in the general election.
Any so-called lefty like Krugman who agrees with David Brooks is problematic.
