He calls W a liar and infers that he was the first president who lied about "fundamental matters" - the tax cuts and Saddam's WMDs. Although I haven't given it much thought, I doubt that W was the first president to do so. How honest was Lyndon relative to the Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin? Or Wilson re the Palmer raids? Truman and Korea? I suspect the list could go on for awhile if I wanted to spend the time.
Krugman also castigates W as the worst president. As I've said before, I thought the same thing before Obama. Now I'm not so sure.
