Krugman: Mr. Obama is Looking Like a Very Consequential President Indeed

From Paul Krugman's latest in The New York Times:

First, health reform is now a reality — and despite a shambolic start, it’s looking like a big success story. Remember how nobody was going to sign up? First-year enrollments came in above projections. Remember how people who signed up weren’t actually going to pay their premiums? The vast majority have. ...
Then there’s climate policy. The Obama administration’s new rules on power plants won’t be enough in themselves to save the planet, but they’re a real start — and are by far the most important environmental initiative since the Clean Air Act. I’d add that this is an issue on which Mr. Obama is showing some real passion.
...
Oh, and financial reform, although it’s much weaker than it should have been, is real — just ask all those Wall Street types who, enraged by the new limits on their wheeling and dealing, have turned their backs on the Democrats.
Put it all together, and Mr. Obama is looking like a very consequential president indeed...

don't know whether to be confused or amazed right wing pundits have not been in the habit of giving Pres. his proper's it's just not the right wing way it's been all about deny him everything, give him no credit and blame him for everything that's not good for that narrative.  this guy has been touted by the republicans as a smart guy maybe he is and see's the futility of what the party is doing and saying while the news and facts show a completely different story, hitching his wagon to that horse only makes him as ignorantly blissful as they are.
