His colleagues are making too big a deal about Clinton's gas tax holiday proposal, he says. Where's the solidarity, Paul?

    I, unfortunately, have to agree with you. I very much appreciated Krugman's critical (and correct) criticism of Bush's economic plans and the Iraq War, but his cheerleading for Hillary has been an embarrassment. Not because he supports Hillary, but, rather, because he has ceased to be objective in his support of her and his criticism of Obama.

    Psychologically, we human beings are not very good at being objective or fair when we are emotionally invested in something or someone. Nonetheless, I'd hoped for a better effort from Krugman.
