MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- President Barack Obama's chief political adviser on Tuesday conceded that a dark cloud looms over the American economy and Obama's political future, describing the president's road to a second term in the White House as "a Titanic struggle."

"We have the wind in our face because the American people have the wind in their faces," David Axelrod told an audience of New Hampshire politicians and business leaders.

You mean as in:

The Sinking of the...?

[SeaHawkFan]

Obama is he Titanic.

[SparkyBass]

I know the story: the iceberg wins.

[Obadiah]

Obama and Titanic in the same sentence. Yeah, that’s about right.

[tired&retired]

Good choice of words!

[henkster]

The struggle between the Axis and Allies between Sept 1, 1939 and Sept. 2, 1945 was a titanic struggle. The ambitions of a 2nd class community organizer to keep a job for which he is unqualified is not so important.

[SparkyBass]

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Beautiful.

Hope it happens.

[PhilosopherStone1000]

“a dark cloud looms over the American economy...”

Buh... buh... THAT’S RAAAAAAAAAAAACIIIIIIST!

[rockvillem]

Obama and Titanic in the same sentence. Yeah, that’s about right.

Well put.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Obama faces “Titanic Defeat”....fixed it.

[LRS]

What!!??? Are they going up against a baseball game?

(Red’s announcer Marty Brennaman is always saying “And the attendance for tonight’s titanic struggle is...)...

[oldbrowser]

I know the story: the iceberg wins.

and the voters are the iceberg.

[Salvey]

a dark cloud

Almost as racist as a witch's hat.

[GeronL]

Titanic sank.

lol.

[SueRae]

Yes...and their answer is more deck chair rearranging.

[mikrofon]

"I'm King of the World!"

[dfwgator]

Obama will blame the Jews for sinking the Titanic....when told an iceberg sank it, Obama responded, “Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg...what’s the difference?”

"We have the wind in our face because the American people have the wind in their faces," David Axelrod told an audience of New Hampshire politicians and business leaders.

The wind is in your face because you suck. Hard.

[kevkrom]

a Titanic struggle

As in, "an over-hyped movie that everyone had to see, only to realize later that it was a bunch of pap?"

If so, that's a pretty good analogy for Obama.

[ScottinVA]

Or... “BUSH’S FAULT!!!”

[Adder]

We have the wind in our face

That is the national fart in your general direction....

[TSgt]

[TSgt]

[GeronL]

It s always Bush’s fault, and always has been Bushs fault since the eruption of Mt Vesuvius it was his fault.

[TSgt]

Methinks he's landslideable...

[GeronL]

www.titanicmovie.com should become www.titanicfail.com

Rounding third and heading for home........

[Recon Dad]

White House as “a Titanic struggle.”

“We have the wind in our face because the American people have the wind in their faces

I don’t know what “we” smell in the wind but the American people are smelling one stinking fart.

[proud American in Canada]

Almost as racist as a witch's hat.

LOL!

[Gator113]

Sink-baby-sink....

[vicar7]

Impossible struggle actually, but we will try to bury you because our country depends on it. Obama is a one term president just a matter of who replaces him.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...hoping to make the case that 0bama would be best positioned to restore a middle class that has been destroyed by him in the first place.”

There. All fixed. :)

[sodpoodle]

Numchuk cannot even manage a metaphor.

It was not the ‘wind’ that caused the Titanic to sink. What an idiot!!!

Herman Cain might very well be the WIND BENEATH OUR WINGS;)

[Gator113]

“,,,,the American people have the wind in their faces...”

They shouldn’t worry about the “wind in our faces”... but the blood in our eyes.

Justice is coming and it’s coming for you bastards.

[el_texicano]

Axelrod, that “wind in our face” you speak of may very well a collective fart in your general direction. Considering all the feces you and your boss has been heaping on us, the American people.

[Voter62vb]

Actually, the US Citizen faces a Titannic struggle. Obama is just sashaying down the path to another form of a his perpetual “Hawaiian Ice” vacation.

[aruanan]

Axelrod: Obama faces "Titanic struggle'

We can only hope.

[NavyCanDo]

Press that pantsuit Hillary – you may be getting a call shortly from the DNC. !

[pogo101]

My heart will go on, Barack.

[SERKIT]

This Freudian slip is hugh and series. A gaffe is often defined as accidentally telling the truth. Yup, Titanic alright!

[upchuck]

"We have the wind in our face because the American people have the wind in their faces,"

Pardon me Axelbent:

"The American people have the wind in their faces because we have the wind in our face (and our heads up our asses)."

Exactly backwards, like most things mentally diseased libs do.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Ha ha ha...whatever happened to the condescending tone after the election and “40 years of democrat rule”!

My my, how quickly things change. I sense a blowout in 2012. Moochelle better get in a few more vacays and pronto.

[Hotlanta Mike]

LOL!!!

[Hotlanta Mike]

“I’m King of the World!”

Obama is channleing his inner Maxwell Smart. “Missed it by that much!”

[1010RD]

"We have the wind in our face because the American people have the wind in their faces," David Axelrod

That's why it is time to stop tacking and come about. Obama's luffed it up enough.

We need a President with a broad reach that will get the economy running again and I'm not jibing.

[varon]

Ahhhh, the bliss of warm p*ss running down my leg............

[jersey117]

Obama is going down on the SS Solyndra.
