"If I have the choice between extending the tax cut for a year and energizing our economy and having an issue to run on, I'd rather energize the economy," Axelrod said in an exclusive interview with Fox News. "I think that it's better for the country, it's better for the president. Frankly it's better for the Congress even if they don't see it."
In the next breath, however, Axelrod flatly charged the latest move by House Republicans to block a Senate compromise extending the tax cut for two months is an effort by the GOP to choke off any economic recovery and damage Obama's already difficult re-election prospects.
"You have to wonder whether some folks over there think somehow -- think screwing up the economy, throwing a wrench in the works is a good political strategy for them," Axelrod told Fox News. "Somehow if they can slow the recovery down, if they can cost a half million or delay a half million jobs, that that will hurt the president."
Back in Washington, the president and his aides say they're not watching the GOP nomination fight closely as they deal with the Congressional endgame. Here in the president's hometown, however, Fox News was given a tour today of the Obama team's 50,000-square-foot re-election headquarters where dozens of paid staffers are working around the clock to be ready for the eventual Republican standard bearer.
Axelrod noted there were more than two dozen debates in the 2008 Democratic primary and he suggested the current GOP field is nowhere near as strong as the group that included Obama, Clinton and other Democrats like then-Sens. Joe Biden and Chris Dodd.
"There were a lot of plausible presidents on that platform," said Axelrod.

Axe looks just like Hitler.
Too late for that Axelfraud.
Axlerod is speaking to obama’s base. And no, they do not believe that itis obama thhat has wrecked the economy. They believe thatBush is doing it.
Uh, no Axel, you would be wrong. The highest monkey on the pole has done an outstanding job all on his own of choking off any economic recovery. Difficult re-election prospects are self-inflicted.
What evil, rotten, sorry bastards.
Axe looks just like Hitler.
Inside and out.
I was just thinking the very same thing! If Axelrod would dye his mustache black and shave off the corners, he’d look just like Hitler.
They’re all ugly, vile people.
It appears Monkey Butt Axelrod fell out of his tree and got his brains scrambled. What’s his Hitler look supposed to be leading up to?
I’ve been saying for some time that the Left has abandoned all pretense of loving this nation’s founding principles. Of course I’m not the only one. It only makes sense who and what their leaders would be. I share our opinion regarding those two.
Our enemies are definitely within the hats.
Is Obama the biggest dummy since Jimmy Carter
OR
Did Obama do it on purpose?
The question is COULD Obama be so stupid that he'd spend $Trillions on nothing
OR
Is Obama a bought reality show type host who is working for those who hate the US?
WOULD IT BE CHEAPER to do a Pearl Harbor style attack
OR
Spend a few $Hundred Million on making Obama POTUS?
Obviously Obama is a plant, a Trojan horse plant who is here to destroy America. If you ask who he is working for and what is his religion, stupid is too weak of a word to describe Americans.
Conspiracies such as this are fantasies, they couldn't happen here or so Americans apparently think.
Americans really are stupid enough to let him continue the destruction of their country.
Meathead’s evil twin
Did he get that biker jacket from Gary Condit?
Spread the pain Hussein.
Merry Christmas FRiend and GOD bless.

...” If the Republicans were still in control in 2007, there might have been a possibility for a soft landing, rather than an uncontrolled crash.”
I am convinced, based on the timeline, that the DNC and other top-level democrats, with Wall Street types and others in the banking industry, Fannie and Freddie, and the so-called MSM, conspired to tank the US economy in fall 2008. The huge “emergency” became “evident” according to the MSM at the time John McCain had a 5% lead over Obama. His ill-conceived decision to halt campaigning and return to DC to work on the issue was the death knell of the USA. This was a well-planned and conceived theft of the office of POTUS, to intall an anti-American, wholly unqualifed buffoon.

Billionaire business mogul Penny Pritzker is a member of one of America’s richest families and was the Finance Chair for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. It was Pritzker that led the prolific, and illegal, fundraising that helped power Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. She was the chair of Chicago-based Superior Bank’s board for five years. Pritzker was into subprime lending before it became all the rage starting in around 2000. Prtizker's chairmanship was to concentrate on sub prime lending, principally on home mortgages, but for a while in subprime auto lending, too, after the Pritzkers' bank acquired its wholesale mortgage organization division, Alliance Funding, in December 1992. Superior Bank went belly up in 2001 with over $1 billion in insured and uninsured deposits; 1,406 depositors lost much of their life savings. This collapse came amid harsh criticism of how Superior’s owners promoted sub-prime home mortgages. |
