President Pin-Up of the Oddly Shaped Pectorals Eugene Robinson slaps Obama on Chavez and Ortega. Paul Krugman slaps Obama on his fiscal discipline. “Imagine that the head of a household with annual spending of $100,000 called everyone in the family together to deal with a $34,000 budget shortfall. How much would he or she announce that spending had to be cut? By $3 over the course of the year–approximately the cost of one latte at Starbucks.” Three issues that keep us up at night. UAW standing in the way of Fiat’s takeover of Chrysler. Heavy is the head that wears the conservative crown. The Twitter revolution that wasn’t. $4.1 trillion.
