Call me crazy but I predict in 2012 after winning re-election, Obama will have Paul Krugman onboard

[Taverner]

Paul Krugman will be his Economic Adviser after he wins this very close election

1. wrong! the world blows up on Dec 12 2012

didnt you hear

[itsrobert]

5. The election is in November

So he could be on board according to the OP before the world blows up in December.

[Shagbark Hickory]

2. The election against sarah palin?

[Thickasabrick]

3. I really hope you are right - on both counts. If the unemployment

situation continues for years - there is no way he will be re-elected.

[Taverner]

6. Yes - think FDR's second term

I think he had Henry A. Wallace (personal hero of mine) as VP

[Thickasabrick]

17. LOL...you made me look. You can now count me as one of the

people who knows about Henry Wallace! I had never heard of him and that bothered me.

I wonder what would have happened if he had become the president instead of Truman...

Thanks!

[Taverner]

18. Simple: No Cold War, No Vietnam War, No Nixon Recession...

One unified world met at the middle....

Think about it - he was a TRUE PROGRESSIVE!

[Taverner]

4. The shit we are doing isn't working

[Davis_X_Machina]

7. I will take any odds, any amount...

...that he will not. Because he's already worked in a White House, didn't like it, walked away from similar offers in the past, and shows no inclination to change. He's on record as not being willing to do a job where he has to sell policies he doesn't believe in, and take responsibility for actions over which he has no real control.

[Taverner]

8. Things have changed, on both sides

[Davis_X_Machina]

9. Give me the odds, name the stakes. n/t

[Taverner]

11. Don't go all Vega$ on me!

The odds are ALWAYS on the house!

[corpseratemedia]

10. please be right

*must save this thread!*

[Taverner]

12. I am just thinking a Wallace=Krugman connection

History repeating itself...

Perhaps if we had a write in revolution for both....

[seattle_blue]

13. Strange that you should say that.

Yesterday I was reading a Krugman article and I was wondering why he wasn't on team Obama already.

[bluestateguy]

14. Just to make Glenn Beck shit in his pants

That would be a sight to see.

[the other one]

15. You are crazy

I said it.

[Taverner]

20. Brotha let us bet a blunt over it....

Arrrrrrrrr....me hearties!

[Octafish]

16. Why wait until 2012?

The economy needs help now. And with Krugman running economic policy now, Obama will win re-election easy.

[Taverner]

19. It seems to take a while for things to make it up to the top...

[girl gone mad]

21. I'd rather see Stiglitz or Galbraith.

No offense to Krugman, who I like, but there are more consistent and accurate left-wing economists.
