I often wonder how much Obama and his staff read actual liberal opinion pieces like Krugman's column, and, more, if they pay them any mind whatsoever. It seems like if they do, the reaction is more along the lines of "Ok, [liberal pundit X] just said [something sensible] so we need to go and do/say the opposite to prove that we aren't liberal!" And then there is cake.
However it plays out, Obama has been an excellent Republican president. A pretty horrible Democrat, but an excellent Republican. So, unless you agree with the "Moral Relativism" argument (I don't) I don't really understand how any Democrat can be even a little excited about 2012. Since Obama is going to be the "Democratic" candidate for president we already know that our options are going to be: Crazy Republican or Sensible Republican.
