Axelrod is wrong. It is VERY inappropriate for POTUS to chide SCOTUS. Separation of powers: Constitution 101. Duh!
Not to mention the balls, Axelrod and Obama still show with respect to "Special Interests" and "Lobbyists" considering their track record. The hypocrisy is palpable.
You spin me right round, baby Right round like a record, baby Right round, round, round You spin me right round, baby Right round like a record, baby Right round, round, round ...
If anyone still doubts Barack Obama's integrity, motivation and intentions to reshape America in his own image, this attack on Fox News ought to wake you up.
Make no mistake: Obama is arrogant, radical, dangerous, and dishonest.
White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod responds to comments Anita Dunn made about Fox News.
"They're not really a news station," he tells George Stephanopoulos. "It's really not news, it's pushing a point of view."
A week after David Axelrod asked "what medical school Dick Morris went to," Morris on "Hannity" responds: "David, it's not a matter of med school - it's elementary school."
Morris has said there is a shortage of doctors in America. Not to mention, Morris was Axelrod's former boss in the Clinton Administration.
On "Face The Nation," White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod responded to the "tea party protesters" marching in opposition to President Obama's health care reform plan.
"My message to them is, they're wrong," said Axelrod, adding that a poll suggests "don't represent a mainstream view of this health care plan." "I don't think it's indicative of the nation's mood," he told Bob Schieffer.
Completely delusional. Look at the polls, you blowhard! Remember all those town hall meetings in August?
On "Face The Nation," White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod recalls how and why President Obama decided to try and put an end of the controversy touched off when he said that the Cambridge police "acted stupidly" in arresting Professor Henry Louis Gates.
He also tells Bob Schieffer of a possible meeting between Obama, Gates and the arresting officer, Cambridge Sergeant James Crowley: "It will happen."
I wonder if Obama will ever follow through on his invitation to Sean Hannity for a beer?
Yeah, no shit it's bad! That's why I correctly surmised the "stimulus" had nothing to do with the economy and everything to do with socialisam and establishing a permanent voting majority.
10% unemployment and rising...and if Cap and Trade passes the Senate? Look towards 15%... Thanks Obama.
This administration is unbelievable in its handling of the quest for democracy and freedom in Iran.
They continue to, de facto, side with the brutal totalitarian Ahmadinejad regime. It's truly amazing.
Does Axelrod remind anyone else of a bad character actor from the 80s? What's with the 'stache?
Disgusting. The Obamanots are so egotistically above the rest of us that they forget the administration works for America and should not be singling out anyone!
Let alone someone already ransacked by the sloberring Obama media. Not to mention, the President himself is against same-sex marriage.
Again, I ask: where are the women's groups defending Miss Prejean? Unreal.
New York Times reports:
Finally, there was the conversation weaving between, of all things, Miss California U.S.A. Carrie Prejean, the same-sex marriage opponent who the panel had already mocked at length, and Bo, the Obama family’s Portuguese water dog.
When Mr. Axelrod was asked how involved he was in the selection of Bo, he jokingly answered that he “only got called in for the final three.”
But as Mr. Axelrod was trying to set the record straight – he actually was not consulted – Mr. Sagal asked about the two runner-ups.
“One was Miss California,” Mr. Axelrod cracked to the audience’s laughter.
Is this how a "statesman" acts? Or is this a frat boy at a kegger?
David Axelrod responded to Dick Cheney's recent criticism of President Obama Sunday on CNN's State of the Union.
"[President Bush] has behaved like a statesman," Axelrod told John King, "I just don't think the memo got passed on to the Vice President [Cheney]."
Axelrod disagreed with Cheney's assertion that Obama's terrorism policies were failing.
"I find it supremely ironic, on a day when we were meeting with NATO, to talk about the continued threat from al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where they're still plotting against us eight years -- or seven years later," he said. "I think the question for Mr. Cheney is, how could that be? How could this have gone so long? Why are they still in business?"
Hey Dave! I don't think Obama got the memo either as he has been parading around Europe blaming America for the world's problems, calling us "arrogant" and genuinely acting like frat boy on a road trip.
I think Axelrod needs to be reminded of what "statesman" means.
A statesman or stateswoman or statesperson is usually a politician or other notable figure of state who has had a long and respected career in politics at the national and international level.
As a term of respect, it is usually left to supporters or commentators to use the term. When politicians retire, they are often referred to as elder statesmen.
Statespersonship also conveys a quality of leadership that organically brings people together and of eldership, a spirit of caring for others and for the whole.
Anyone elected to office is a politician but only a few consistently manage to work as disinterested promoters of the public good with integrity. There is a huge difference between the two.
The words statesman or stateswoman are applied loosely to any head of state, any senior political figure, or anyone who in a given moment exhibits a certain quality of "statespersonship."
Cheney has served our country for decades and is far more of a "statesman" than Obama will ever be.
Change you can grow orchids in.
Barack Obama said last year on the campaign trail that “we can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”
That was then, this is now.
From the NY Times puff piece on the "casual" President:
The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.
“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”
Everyone covered the "Cuckoo" Blago press conference on Friday, and everyone knows that Governor Blagojevich will be on The View on Monday, but who is talking about this on the news?
From Doug Ross:
In a 2005 Chicago Tribune op-ed, President-Elect Obama's advisor and "mis-speaker" David Axelrod alluded that Quid Pro Quo politics is acceptable.
The op-ed was in response to Fitzgerald's anti-corruption efforts where a number of aides to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley were indicted for conspiracy to give city jobs as political favors.
