Axelrod to ABC News: Romney 'Most Secretive Candidate' Since Nixon
WAPI ^ | 5 July 2012 | DONNA SVENNEVIK

Posted on 07/05/2012 3:38:38 PM PDT by smokingfrog

(MAUMEE, Ohio) -- Senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod today accused Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney of being “the most secretive candidate that we’ve seen, frankly, since Richard Nixon.”

He “won’t release his tax returns, won’t reveal his bundlers, left Massachusetts with the hard drives from his computer. He believes in keeping the public in the dark,” Axelrod said in an interview with ABC News Radio behind the scenes at the first stop on Obama’s campaign bus tour through Ohio.

Axelrod said Romney’s portfolio of offshore investments – which include a Bermuda-based company, funds in the Cayman Islands and a Swiss bank account — raises what he called a “Bermuda Triangle” of financial questions.

“Just what were the benefits there? Did he actually pay taxes in some years? We don’t know,” he said.

Will Romney leak national security secrets like 0bama does?

Tell Axelrod that some of us would like to know how Mr. Obama got to the USA to go to college on a Fullbright Scholarship. Which Passport was used. He most definitely doesn’t have any room to squabble. This is NOT a good Pandora’s Box for him to open, unless he wants to tell us all the REST of the story of Barak.

“Secretive” is claiming that Bill Ayers was “just some guy in the neighborhood”.Secretive” is claiming that after 20 years of attending his “church” you didn't hear a single word that “Reverend” Wright said from the “pulpit”.

Talk about calling the kettle black...

BTW Accusing others of what misdeed you are doing is a Marx/Stalin technique.

Classic leftist strategy: accuse the other guy of being who you are. Obama’s past is a total blank.

...and the Journolisters will take their cues and run with the “secretive Romney” label, all the while castigating and belittling anyone who dares to ask any questions about Teh Won.

It would be laughable if it wasn’t so frustrating. Our country is going down the tubes and the MSM is running around like lapdogs protecting the man who is leading the charge to destroy us!

Ignoring the Rombama for the moment, let's focus on the Oromney ~ the dark one ~ with the dark hair ~ two questions:

(1) What were his grades in college, and

(2) Why is it Axelrod knows all those hookers?

Axelrod's mother worked for I.F.Stone.

I.F.Stone worked for Joe Stalin.

The connection has been pretty obvious for a very long time.

Did Mark have anything new to say?

Yeah it seems that Mr. Obama had a little bit of fluff in his ears- (in reference to Winnie The Pooh in “The Blustery Day”)on that point!

Hey Assolrod, would you like to explain to us about all those monies that have been alleged to come from Communist China into ODrama’s election funds? And why can’t we see ODrama’s college transcripts? And we still have questions about that so-called Birth Certificate.

As a perfect example of ABC not even trying to hide its bias anymore, this comment by Axelrod was the TOP STORY on the ABC Radio top-of-the-hour news. Geez.

I couldn’t find this story on the Washington Post yet. It’s an ABC story; Nixon is their victim; they may stand on claims of exclusivity and ignore it.

ABC Radio News led (of course) with this story, but closed it out with a reasonably effective retort from the Romney camp.

I almost went off the road.

I’m guessing the News Director is getting an azz chewing about now...

He’s projecting

Except that, projection is a psychological defensive technique. What Axelrod is using is an offensive technique, intended to keep his adversaries off balance and give his lackeys in the media ammunition to use against the enemy.

What a crock of hypocrisy.
We still know precious little about the clown in the oval office.
And I'm still waiting to see any evidence whatsoever of the post-partisan, post-racial, unifier we were promised he was.
Ax is one very sick puppy.

What in the universe is Axelrod smoking? That’s gotta be some seriously strong wacky weed for him to throw that line out there.

I don’t know how these clowns can even begin to say this stuff with a straight face.

Does David Axelrod know who Barrack Obama is? Does David Axelrod realize that he is talking about the current president of the United States? The people know practically NOTHING about Obama, nothing. He was never vetted by the MSM.

Nixon was an open book compared to our current president. Maybe Axelrod can release those "Fast and Furious" documents and be less secretive.

When I first started working in the mines, I belonged to the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, a pretty openly communist union. A couple of years later, while I was in the Army, the USWA (Steelworkers) took them over. As a result, I know exactly the background Axelrod comes from. For many years, I heard rhetoric similar to his in the union hall. The lies were one thing but the fact that a lot of fairly normal people believed them was something else.
