Top White House adviser David Axelrod on Monday said that President Obama's trips to Europe, Turkey and Latin America in the last three weeks have made anti-American sentiment uncool and "created a new receptivity" to U.S. interests.
"What's happened is anti-Americanism isn't cool anymore," Mr. Axelrod said, speaking to an audience of a few hundred at a conference in Washington sponsored by the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.

I am of an age to remember Reagan and the deployment of Pershing II missiles into Western Europe (a decision initiated by the Carter Administration countering SS-20 Soviet Missiles). There were huge mass protests in multiple European countries, England's RAF Greenham drew 'tens of thousands' of protesters in 1983. We now know that the Soviet Union freely poured money and encouragement into these protest movements, which were very useful to their aims.
Given these stated views of a senior Obama Administration Official, Mr.Axelrod, one has to wonder if, given a similar 'subsidized movement', would this be allowed to sway US Government action? Seriously, given Mr.Obama's history as a community organizer, I would have to say that I think it would.
Thank you, Fonzie, for that pronouncement.
Not “cool” unless practiced in the White House and the Capitol building!
of course... since a libtard is in office, now America is ‘cool’, as defined by libtards
hollywood will start to produce ‘happy’ movies to bring up the tone and move the mood of the nation.
people like that should be beaten with sticks
If only they would stop smoking crack.
Axelrod...wishful thinking.

Yeah, but being a sneaky, conniving Chicago pol has never been cool.
Hey, Axelrod, just keep hittin’ on that crack pipe, y’hear?
Axelrod is clearly an overrated, overpaid and dangerous elitist with a “valley girl” mentality.
To allow this fool anywhere near power or authority is suicide for the Republic.
Can you BELIEVE a man who advises the president has actually said this??? Do the Europeans that are jealous of our nation really this loving us is cool? How does Axey know this? AND WHO CARES????
Like someone said above us here...does OBAMA know it is no longer cool to be anti-American? He hates us most of of all and wants to remake us in HIS IMAGE of what should be...just like hillary wanted to do...it is so CREEPY!
Axelrod has some kind of brain damage...probably from the crack...and it is just freaky to have such little tantrum spewing children running around advising our president and setting the tone for the press...we are literally surrounded by OLD HIPPIES WHO NEVER GREW UP!!!
They ALL need to be spanked.
(Is it possible that ALL of THEM were losers on the playground?)
Let me know if you want on or off the ping list
I wonder what Fonzi would think.
I would call Axelrod sophomoric, but that would place him several grade levels too high.
That's great for all those dictators and evil people who are worried about looking cool.
How about anti-communism?
Fancy that. David Axlerod tells the whole world what they can and cannot think now that they all had the glorious opportunity to have the presence of the Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama on their soil.
I don’t think the world cares if anti-americanism is “not cool”.
Their anti-americanism wasn’t done to look cool, it was done because they envied us. They envied us because we hadn’t let our nation be run by stupid socialist leftheads.
Now you and that nitwit jug earred POTUS will rip this country to shreads. They will still hate us for being stupid enough to elect BO.
