David Axelrod: 'Keeping our heads'

President Obama and the Dems are driving the Republicans insane but the Republicans are also doing their part in damaging themselves by playing along. It's almost to easy.

The Republicans control the corporate media, so every single time there's an issue (any issue) over anything between the Dems and the Republicans, the Republicans instantly run around to all of the corporate media outlets and do their usual screaming, hair on fire, petulant child act, meanwhile Obama and the Dems just sit back and let them punch themselves out and then they go out and make their case directly to the American people and certain targeted media outlets (thank you Pres Obama).

America is sick and tired of the right-wing noise machine.

Obama is bungling so much that even comedian Jon Stewart, a supporter, has taken to mocking him. See http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/02/jon-stewart.html for links.

It's bumpy because it's huge and unprecedented.

Like rolling out New Deal economic legislation in 1933.

Or responding to sinking the Pacific fleet on Dec. 8, 1941.

Is why it's bumpy.

Biggest Losers: Republican party.

Anytime they get outside of their anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, tax-cuts-for-the-rich, comfort zone they just fall to pieces.

Petulant, obstructionist, hypocritical little children is putting it mildly.

When this works, and it will, everybody will remember that the republicans "just said no" and "just didn't do it".

Also they came out:
1. with Rush Limbaugh tagged as their de facto leader, nobody knows or cares who Steele other than just another corrupt Repub
2. Having linked themselves to the Taliban in search of tactics.
3. Most importantly - they accidentally let on to their deep disgust with, and of, working people.

The Repugs are doomed to a permanent moniority status and they don't even know it yet.

Are you serious, Inconvenient??

Jon Stewart's job is to mock whoever is in office. He has no show if he talks nice about the president. Same with SNL and the rest. Stewart is not a newsman, he's a comedian.

Jon Stewart makes fun of everyone. If you'd ever bother to pull your head out of Rush and Hannity-land you'd know that.

"Most of the newfound support comes from rank-and-file Democrats, suggesting President Barack Obama's efforts to sell the plan over the past week -- including in his first televised news conference on Monday -- have shored up support within his own party. Last week, Gallup found 70% of Democrats in favor of Congress passing the economic stimulus package, but today that figure is 82%."
.
"Over the same period, support for the stimulus package held steady among independents, with a slight majority in favor of it. The percentage of Republicans favoring the package rose slightly from 24% to 28%, but remains below the 34% support received in early January, before Congress began its formal consideration of the package."

Republicans are likely to sulk, but they are still invited to play any time they want. And if they don't want to play? Irrelevance is over there to the Right.

Explain, again, why someone is interviewing Axelrod as if the only things he's ever accomplished in life weren't shaking down governments for his friends at Exelon and dragging people's good names through the mud for political gain? Thought so.

Why don't you ask your hero, Grampy McCain, that question, Jeffy?

John McCain had 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, and yet he said "I'm the only one the special interests don't give any money to."

Because he was right, Bubba. In case you haven't noticed it from your messiah's administration, lobbyists are a way of life in Washington. Your Messiah has 17 of them working for his administration (and had many more working for his campaign) despite lying to the american people and saying he'd ban lobbyists from working for the white house.
However, unlike the obamessiah, McCain has never once asked for nor received an earmark or porkbarrel project in his 30 years in congress. Never. That's why the special interests don't work for him. Sure, he had them raising money during the campaign, as both parties do, but even the ones inside knew they'd get nothing for that cash. They were doing it for ideological reasons because they lobby for mainly republican causes. That's why Obama outraised McCain 6-to-1. Because the democrat lobbyists knew the obamessiah could be bought.
And look at the results of what they purchased! 17 lobbyists in the administration and raytheon in the number two position in defense!
Obama's asked for and taken millions in earmarks in his single unfinished term in congress. $2 million of an earmark he got when to his wife's hospital, where she received a 300% raise after the earmark was secured.
In closing, McCain's not the president and the one cozying up to K street. Why don't you ask that same question of your president, you child?
