Bingo.

Indeed. I'm particularly taken with the first line of the Washington Examiner story: "President Obama spurned the advice of columnists Paul Krugman and Katrina vanden Heuvel..."

Since when are these two presidential economic advisors? Furthermore, how would Michael Barone, the writer, know that Pres. Obama "rejected with disdain" the advice of these two? Was there an interview? Quotes? No, of course not.

Obviously, Pres. Obama did what he believed was right for the country. Whether or not that proves to be true or not remains to be seen. What is certain is Mr. Barone, Mr. Krugman and Ms. vanden Heuvel will write about it. That's what writers do.
