Please Go on the Attack, Mr. President

And, I'm not talking about Libya. I think that Paul Krugman was absolutely correct in his column today in calling on Obama to start hammering the GOP on their budget proposals instead of immediately giving up concessions in negotiations. I understand that Obama's job of navigating these negotiations to keep the government from shutting down are tricky and I generally give him the benefit of the doubt but the Repugs' proposals are highly unpopular and he should go after them. Urg!
