According to Financial Times, “America’s liberals” are three guys. And they represent a backlash against the president, apparently.

It’s three people. Krugman, Reich, Stiglitz.

Adding… These guys are probably right about the Geithner bank rescue plan, but to define their views on this one issue as representative of all liberals engaged in a backlash is more than a little over the top.

    This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, that the Financial Times (aka Fanatical Times) has published a piece that is ‘over the top’. All things considered, FT seems to get more things right than not. This is not one of them however.They are better than the Wall Street Journal. Granted, that’s not saying much.

    My first response is, “These assholes don’t represent the liberal community.”Then I thought about the three wise(insane) men of the GOP(Beck, Hannity, Rush). Which leads to believe I should stop categorizing all Republicans into this category. However, I/You/We/the President/Reid/Peliso aren’t low crawling up to the “Golden Microphone” to perform fellatio for going against the will of the “Holy Trinity”. (Wish I knew how to do the TM thing).Krugman might be right about this but I really believe that if the President doesn’t do exactly what he wants he will OP-ED the shit out of his plans at the NYT. Krug is an economist not a finance professor. Supply and Demand curves have little to due with toxic(fake) assets and fake(toxic) balance sheets of the banks. For Christ’s sake, how does an economist properly assess the financial situation of CITI Group when they are using Mark to Market pricing of their assets? I believe that only the Treasury Secretary and the FED Chair really know what these banks are really worth and if they believe this is the way to go they are at least using more information the Krugman.Moreover, I really like Krugman but his hubris might be effecting his decision making. I am sure if I was a noble peace price recipient than I would believe that my ideas are all that really matter.Furthermore, Timmy is a tax cheat, an AIG enabler, a Paulsonian and just plain TAINTED by the Credit Default Swap mess. President Obama could have done better than this but we are half way up the hill, charging the Nazi Machine gun nest, and to change leadership now would only set us back or kill us all. Lets him give a chance and see WTF happens before we all involuntarily “GO GALT” (Unemployed)
