Agreed. It's like he's become a totally different person. Where he once was emphatic that Eurosclerosis was caused by cushy unemployment payments, he's now all, "Well, maybe under optimal conditions, generous unemployment benefits keep unemployment high... but fuck RepubliKKKans!!!!!!!!"
Not one bit of blame goes to the Democrats for refusing to pay for the extension of unemployment benefits. Instead of compromising (you know, that thing Krugman always complains that Republicans won't do because they're hellbent on torpedoing the Obama presidency, and hey, whatever happened to that PAYGO thing on which Obama campaigned and signed into law about five months ago?), the Democrats went home for the holiday. What a fucking partisan hack he's become.
