Axelrod Denies Participating in Counter-Terror Discussions
ABC News ^ | 6/3/12 | Matthew Larotonda

The communications director of President Obama’s reelection campaign today denied a report in the New York Times that he had sat in on weekly White House meetings on terrorism. On Tuesday the paper said that after the failed 2009 Christmas Day “underwear bombing,” David Axelrod started attending the discussions with Obama and top national security advisers. The article reads: ”David Axelrod, the president’s closest political adviser, began showing up at the ‘Terror Tuesday’ meetings, his unspeaking presence a visible reminder of what everyone understood: a successful attack would overwhelm the president’s other aspirations and achievements.”

I don’t mean this invidiously, but every time I see Axelrod, the thought comes into my mind: he looks remarkably like Adolf Hitler.

What needs to be tracked is who on the kill list is Sunni and who is Shia.

That is key.

Wouldn’t it be easier if the White House just issue a “blanket denial” every day, through Jay Carney. It would save a lot of press conferences.

Carney: “ Whatever the allegation is today, we deny it”
