Aide: Ax[elrod] 'misspoke'
Politico ^

Posted on 12/09/2008 2:46:29 PM PST by swordfishtrombone

An Obama aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity, took back David Axelrod's remark last month that Barack Obama and Rod Blagojevich had spoken recently.

"What the president-elect said today is correct, David Axelrod misspoke," the aide said.

Obama said today the men had not spoken.

An open question: When they last spoke.

I heard the tape on Sean Hannity. He spoke loud and clear. Who wants to bet Obama smacked Dave on the head for saying that LOL. Oh man I would love to be a fly on wall during that meeting

I don’t even know why 0’s people even felt obligated to issue the correction. I didn’t see anything on Foxnews.com or CNN.com about what Axlrose said. The media is just going to report whatever 0 tells them to report. Nothing will stick. The only people who will know about Obama’s connection will be people who already know what a crook he is. The wimps in congress have already told us they’re not going to do anything.

I remember seeing news that should have finished Clinton’s political career and thinking it was going to turn everyone away from him. Then being dumbfounded when it didn’t change anyone’s opinion of him.

I saw the tape and AxRod didn't stutter and spoke very clearly.

That misspoke person is lying.

The official 'misspoke' count for the Obama administration is now higher than the Bush administration's 8-years.

The 0 has spoken.

The broken Axelrod has misspoken.

Let us all revere the truth of what the 0 has spoken, and let us all condemn the falsehoods of the broken Axelrod.

All shall praise the wise and powerful 0.

Obama must be chain smoking right now! When asked if he quit he said, he did, and then, he said he sometimes falls off the wagon, but he was doing “terrific!” Translation...he’s still smoking but he wants government partnership to prevent others from smoking so that we can keep health care costs low!

Democrats “misspoke.”

Which part of the story? That Obama misspoke? That Axelrod did? That an anonymous "aide" came forth with a correction? What's there not to believe; smokescreens are an artform for these people

If Ax misspoke, I'm equally sure Blago did.
That's right, isn't it?

So, if I learn words and phrases like...

“misspoke”
“not who I knew”
“not that close”
“saddened”
“unaware”

I too can be made of teflon and get away with everything?!

Anyone that thinks Fearless leader of the common folk, El-President elect Barrack the O didn’t know what was going on.

Here’s what I think. We can’t defeat Obama by using the political system. It has been proven over and over again that conservatives are the only ones hurt in political scandals. We have to get busy doing what God tells us to do (witnessing, supporting His work, planting churches, praying, living Holy/acceptable lives, etc) and let Him defeat our enemies.
