Axelrod: No White House shake-up in the works
Washington Post ^ | January 24, 2010

Posted on 01/24/2010 7:53:49 AM PST by La Lydia

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's top political aide says there's no White House shake-up in the works even as Obama's campaign manager is given a greater role in the administration. David Plouffe (pluhf) will deal mainly with this fall's elections involving Congress and governors as reeling Democrats try to rebound after last week's shocking Senate defeat in Massachusetts.

Obama's chief political strategist, David Axelrod, says Plouffe will take a more active role. But Axelrod says don't expect a staff shake-up. He says "nothing gets Washington more excited than someone losing their job."...

Axelrod appeared on CNN's "State of the Union." Gibbs was on "Fox News Sunday."

That place needs some serious spring cleaning. But I guess it’s no big deal if they like squalor. Too bad their mess is really stinking up the nation though.

Obama is like Hitler in the Bunker with sycophant Axelrod feeding glowing fake news that the war will soon turn around for victory.

Yes. It is one thing to run a national campaign with one candidate. It is quite another to micromange 250 or so Dems, including Blue Dogs, who are running for re-election in their individual districts and states with their individual issues and agendas. Not to mention the Senate races where, if anything, the Democrats are even harder to herd. Good luck with that.

Axelrod: No White House shake-up in the works (for three years).

That should do it.

Shake-up and clean-up are now required; and the any true American in Washington realizes this.

Just saw Axelrod on “This Week with the New Guy” (what an O-bot!) and it was blame Bush uhh, inherited debt uhh, Americans angry uhh, Mass voters wanted MORE HCR uhh, uhh, uhh, . . .

The little butt boy went right down the communist talking points and totally avoided the obvious on the Mass. election.

Then... Jim DeMitt, in one quarter of the time shot the ax full of holes with a clear explanation of what the communists have done since taking Congress in 2006.

The Ax just continued to deny and blame Bush.

Second half of the show just started with the commies claiming that bammy and Brown are just alike in that they got elected because voters "are mad."

They ain't seen nuthin yet...

Gibbs said that the Washington comPost polls showed that the people in MA were voting for Obama.
