Paul Krugman's "The President Is Missing": Eating Orange Yogurt Cake and Having It, Too

In a New York Times op-ed entitled "The President Is Missing" (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/11/opinion/11krugman.html?hp) Paul Krugman, furious with Barack Obama for making budget concessions and reaching a compromise agreement with Republicans, asks:

"What have they done with President Obama? What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected?"

Answer: 0 is still . . . . Oops, I typed a zero, instead of an "O". Let's start again. O is still there, the same inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected, but he is busy:

• polishing his oratorical skills in front of a teleprompter;
• eating orange yogurt cake with baked apples and having it, too;
• hugging Hugo Chavez, shaking hands with Qaddafi, and bowing to King Abdullah;
• playing golf and basketball;
• vacationing with Michelle;
• and most of his remaining free time writing another book about himself, "The Mendacity of Hope".

Substance? What did you expect from a freshman senator from Illinois with no voting record or experience. Lighten up Professor Krugman. Give him four more years. Something could still happen.
