A spending freeze? That’s the brilliant response of the Obama team to their first serious political setback?It’s appalling on every level....
...it’s a betrayal of everything Obama’s supporters thought they were working for. Just like that, Obama has embraced and validated the Republican world-view — and more specifically, he has embraced the policy ideas of the man he defeated in 2008. Krugman

Obama's running scared now. Too bad for him--and for all the rest of us.
