David Axelrod finally oversaw a campaign in which he was happy to end up the loser.

President Barack Obama’s senior strategist shaved off his trademark mustache on live TV Friday, fulfilling a promise to slash his 40-year-old ’stache to help raise $1 million for epilepsy research.

“We're cutting it off because there are people who have lost a lot more than a mustache to epilepsy,” Axelrod said. …

So reading between the lines, is he admitting that Obama really lost?

[SgtHooper]

Too bad he didn’t start a bit lower with a straight razor.

Now, we can see when his lips move and know he is lying.

Ahhhhh...Saint David !!!!

Killing babies is okay but if you have epilepsy...we'll give you a hand.

Does the article say whether he actually gave any of his own money?

"We're cutting it off..."

Did it take more than one person to cut it off?

[CGASMIA68]

Should a used a Stihl 261 and every one would have made out

“Gave any of his own money?”
I’d be shocked if he did.
