Just on FOX News Channel this AM.
Fox has learned that David Axelrod, Obama's closest advisor in the White House is leaving much earlier than previously admitted. Axelrod, widely acknowledged to be the "brains" behind Obama's day-to-day WH operations, had leaked that he would be leaving in late Spring. Now, the timetable is being accelerated quickly, with The Ax expected to be out in early February. He'll barely have time to pack his bags and steal the O keys from his typewriter!
This is very significant, but the reasoning behind it still not clear. Is Axelrod jumping ship before the SS Obama sinks completely, so he can avoid some of the blame?
Or was Axelrod pushed out by Obama's increasingly powerful inner-core of hard-left Socialists like Podesta who want the President to assume almost dictatorial powers and rule by Executive Order? This shadow group, funded by Soros and growing stronger every day, is unfazed by the recent Republican gains in Congress. The Far Left Czars and their outside supporters want Obama to simply ignore Congress and the Constitution and rule as if possessing the Devine Right of Kings. Executive orders would become the rule of the day and the law of the land, and Obama would dare anyone to defy him. These could be very dangerous times.
No one yet really knows why Axelrod is leaving... and leaving so soon. Everyone knows it's not for the announced goal of "spending more tine with the family."
With Rahm and The Ax gone, who will take their place?
Who will do Obama’s thinking for him?
Why is the main title theme from Evita running through my head?
Inquiring Minds want to know.
Everyone around him is sick of him.
I guess the guy who could play Adolph Schicklgruber without needing any makeup is leaving the guy who is running the country the way Schicklgruber ran his country.
Intereting, very interesting.
Crap, is there anybody left?
Axelrod leaving? Another “President” deserts “The One”.
This is just a guess, of course....but I think Rahm got Axe a job at the mall, playing Santa.
"Obama told me to tell Santa all he wants for
Christmas is a pill to obliterate thoughts of Midterms."

President Obama's top adviser, David Axelrod, will likely be replaced by campaign strategist David Plouffe when he leaves the White House early next year.
Axelrod tells National Journal that he still plans on leaving Washington in the spring to head back to Chicago to work on the president's reelection campaign, and he expects Plouffe -- who was a key member of Obama's presidential campaign -- to step in to the White House soon. "I think he will come, which is huge," Axelrod said in an e-mail, "but his portfolio will be slightly different."
Plouffe served as campaign manager for Obama's 2008 run and has widely been expected to join the administration. He has spent much of the last two years in Chicago running AKPD, the political consulting group founded by Axelrod. (Excerpt) Read more at nationaljournal.com ...
