AS COOL AS DEAD IN THE WATER ?

Krugman, finally following the drift in my various blogs makes a direct attack on Mr. Obama's mentality. So did "The Economist". As Krugman puts it gently:
"President Obama’s troubles result from misjudgments: the stimulus was too small; banking policy wasn’t tough enough; and he didn’t shelter himself from criticism."

Well, here is my add-on, and i have plenty of reasons, some even personal, to not be that gentle, although I stay within the best of my rational consideration:

Obama is persuaded that cool is cool, and that it is all what a man has to do with his brain to excel: do what you are told, and look cool. Cool is the way. But Obama knows physics not. When you want to change things, you don't wait, cool as a glacier, for the great melting of the minds. Heat is motion. If you want to move, you have to get hot.

Obama came in, he admired Reagan (an actor who got the plutocratic demolition of the USA on the way), and hired Larry Summers (Reagan's internal affairs economic adviser, and the main DESTROYER OF ROOSEVELT's financial SAFEGARDS, as Treasury Secretary earlier, under Clinton). Obama was elected, it turned out, to pursue Larry Summers' America: for thirty years going, and still collapsing. Then Obama talked as if all he had to do was to persuade the elders of the republican party: dreaming of his father. How touching.

So, Godspeed America (as the actor Reagan would say). Even the pro-plutocratic magazine "The Economist" wants Obama to put fighting gloves on (Jan 14, cover). But, before putting the gloves on, maybe Obama should warm his brain enough to find who to beat up, and that his first enemies are in his own cabinet. As it is, Obama is surrounded by cool plutocrats whose only real ambition is to fill up their pockets some more, in tomorrow's even cooler plutocracy, so they make it all it can be.
