Politico reports that The New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize-winning economist (we all know how worthwhile those awards are these days right?) is getting pretty darn miffed with his Messiah, Barack Hussein Obama.

Paul Krugman’s announcement that he is near to “giving up” on President Barack Obama is fueling a new round of liberal revolt.

Like many influential voices on the left, The New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize-winning economist has not been shy to voice his disapproval with some of the president’s specific policy initiatives over the past year.

But in the wake of a devastating surprise loss in the Massachusetts Senate special election, and with prospects of health care reform growing dimmer by the hour, Krugman and others liberals are charging Obama with failing to lead.

In a post on his blog Wednesday night titled “He Wasn’t the One We’ve Been Waiting For,” Krugman eviscerated Obama for, in the columnist’s view, not stepping up during a crucial moment in his presidency.

“Progressives are desperately in need of leadership; more specifically, House Democrats need to be told to pass the Senate bill, which isn’t what they wanted but is vastly better than nothing. And what we get from the great progressive hope, the man who was offering hope and change, is this,” Krugman wrote, directing readers to Obama’s comments in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday seemingly advocating a scaled back health bill.

Well that’s all well and good that the Liberals are catching on that their Messiah is nothing more than another Faceman to the desires of the monied Elite. The problem here is that they don’t recognize when some of their own clan is within that group of the monied Elite.

“This is garbage,” Salon editor Joan Walsh said of the bill Wednesday during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Hardball.” “This is a corporate bill, with corporate giveaways that the left is pissed about.”

“President Obama has simply not led. He let the Republicans run this health care agenda,” Walsh said. “People want to blame Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi? [Obama] turned it over to the Senate Finance Committee. He gave Republicans their marching orders. He gave them the rope to hang him, and that’s what they did. That’s why we are still talking about this a year after his inauguration.”

Joan WalshSo let me get this straight… the Democrats have held a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate under a sitting Democrat with a correspondingly Democrat majority in the House. Oh please, Ms. Walsh. Really? The undecided voters out there who  don’t much pay attention to politics until a quasi-Socialist is elected into office suddenly rise up in opposition to your agenda and you are going to try and turn it around an place the blame for the failed policies of BHO on the Republican Party? Ok… time to transition into selling beachfront property in Arizona, because that load of BS is a total waste of breath. Get your own house in order before you try and blame big failures on other people.
