Krugman Critique of Obama

In a posting on Paul Krugman's blog at the NY Times, you find this indictment of Obama:

But the larger story is the absence of a progressive-economist wing. A lot of people supported Obama over Clinton in the primaries because they thought Clinton would bring back the Rubin team; and what Obama has done is … bring back the Rubin team. Even the advisory council, which is supposed to bring in skeptical views, does so by bringing in, um, Marty Feldstein.

Another way of saying it: Obama has done a classic "bait and switch" sales job in his campaign for presidency.
