Krugman on Obama's Federal Pay Freeze

Krugman is brutally to the point in his criticism:

Yep, that’s exactly what we needed: a transparently cynical policy gesture, trivial in scale but misguided in direction, and in effect conceding that your bitter political opponents have the right idea.

It is amazing how Obama shoots himself in the foot again and again. How did this guy rise to such prominence? He is pathetically inept as a political leader! (Yep... I too was fooled by his campaign. He's good on rhetoric, but abysmal in leadership and policy. He's another Jimmy Carter, i.e. nice guy but way out of his league!)
