Axelrod On CNN: Republicans May Be Trying To Tear Down The Economy On Purpose
by Josh Feldman | 4:25 pm, October 30th, 2011

On CNN’s State of the Union today, former Obama advisor David Axelrod expressed his frustration on Congressional inaction on many important issues related to the economy and, more specifically, the inability of Republicans to come together with the president on issues they normally agree with.

Candy Crowley highlighted a quote from White House Chief of Staff William Daley, saying in part that the Republicans and Democrats have been going at it and making it hard for President Obama to be an efficient executive, and asked Axelrod how much of the current economy could be attributed to the result of Obama’s policies. Axelrod jumped back to the common defense that the president inherited the financial crisis and is doing his best to stop that, expressing optimism for the future of American industry.

But Crowley wanted to know specifically why the Obama administration is so frustrated with Congress, and Axelrod immediately went after the Republicans for their continued intransigence and inability to cooperate with the president.

“When you have the Republican leader of the Senate say ‘Our number one goal’… in the midst of this economy….’our number one goal is to defeat the president,’ and they’re acting like it. They don’t want to cooperate. They don’t want to help. Even on measures to help the economy that they have traditionally supported before.”

Projection. Dingy Harry is sitting on about 15 bills that the House has already passed. Don't expect to see that on CNN.

Axelrod is cranking out some fairly smelly versions of AstroTurf from the Chicago factory.

I pray the American voters, (not the illegals) understand what scum and infestation has crept into the Democrat party. I detest everything these morons do and say.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life.

WHO HAS THE MOST TO LOSE IF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILS? Its not the protesters on Wall Street is it.

Seems to me that this is right in line with a president whose own polls show he cant enough people to re-elect him and now he stacking the deck in his favor by sending out his NAZI goons and causing trouble.

Obama’s HITLER look alike little puppet boy AXELROAD is sent out to blow smoke and rant about how unfair the world is. What a loser

Yeah, sure. It’s the Republicans that were dedicated to the marxist principles of bringing this country down from within. I noticed it long before it became a common observation that the Dems always accuse their opponents of the destructive crap that they are engaged in.

He sure is. And many voters will go along with all their propaganda in 2012.

Does he mean the way the Dhims did to the economy in 2007-2008, and have continued to do so?

Classic Alinsky. Accuse your opponent of what you’re doing.

Take heart.

Baraq only did 53% against McLame with a “spotless” record in 08.

Don’t be fooled by the MSM view that he was a huge winner.

9% unemployment doesn’t lie.

The goal is to defeat Obama and the Democrat/Communists. They are the ones who have destroyed the economy. A Democrat Congress allowed the "sub prime" mortgage business to flourish because they mandated mortgages to those who could not and will never be able to repay. Democrats are the ones who have promulgated thousands of economically destructive regulations.

Defeat Obama and the Rats and you will save the economy and the country.
