What Krugman Says

He says what needs to be said on the debt ceiling negotiations:

According to Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, Mr. Obama has told Democrats not to draw any “line in the sand” in debt negotiations. Well, count me among those who find this strategy completely baffling. At some point — and sooner rather than later — the president has to draw a line. Otherwise, he might as well move out of the White House, and hand the keys over to the Tea Party.

Of course, since Barack Obama seems incapable of drawing such lines, I'm thinking that the only question will be whether or not the 'Phants use lube before having their way with the American people.

Actually, the 'Phants won't use lube.
