Well, DUH, Paul Krugman.

The fact Obama was talking about "let's-all-get-along" hogwash with members of the opposing party who don't believe in any kind of compromise should have been a tip-off long ago, Paul, about this sham candidate. Social Security privatization, tort reform, merit pay for teachers, admiration for Ronald Reagan, dubious associations including possible illegal activity on his part, advisers who are the same type of people who have sold this country down the river the past twenty-five years, all of these are just a few tip-offs of what an Obama administration would look like.

All of these things were out there for anybody with any sense to research.
