Top Obama advisor endorses Romney for President
Human Events ^ | 4/16/2012 | John Hayward

In an appearance on Fox News Sunday morning, top Obama advisor David Axelrod – last seen peeping out from under a rock and muttering that he’s hardly even heard of “CNN employee” Hilary Rosen – delivered a stunning endorsement of Mitt Romney for President.

Axelrod told Fox host Chris Wallace: “The choice in this election is between an economy that produces a growing middle class and that gives people a chance to get ahead and their kids a chance to get ahead and an economy that continues down the road we’re on.”

Wow. Hope and Change, 2012 edition: Vote Mitt Romney! And this is the guy who’s normally in charge of getting people’s divorce records leaked to the media so Obama can win dirty!

Team Romney welcomed Axelrod on board by uploading video of his endorsement to YouTube:

Axelrod will also receive a welcome package of valuable Romney campaign merchandise, including a roof-mounted dog carrier, and a set of Ann Romney’s signature limited-edition “Stay-at-Home Mom ” bunny slippers.

Obviously this was an epic slip of the tongue, but the way it exposes the intellectual poverty of the Obama 2012 campaign is fascinating. Axelrod was trying to paint Obama as the figure of “hope and change,” as though the Oval Office has been vacant since 2009, and everything hasn’t gotten horribly worse since George Bush left office. They really are going to expect America to forget the last four years completely, and give this failed President a mulligan.

In other words, David Axelrod really did endorse Romney for President on Sunday. His actual campaign strategy is even funnier than his gaffe.

As usual, Axelrod did his best to not answer any questions. His incessant whining about everything being someone else's fault was pathetic. Add in little Timmie Geithner's performance yesterday, and it paints a very troubling picture of an administration filled with petulant, clueless whiners.

Axlegrease is the definition of a paid schill. He has no original thoughts of his own. Obama sends out all of his minions with his 10 talking points index card. Any question of the liberal policies can be found on that card in one of the answers, and they all blame it on someone else. Divide, deflect, change the subject, paint an enemy, that is all they can do.

Politics of division. The 'rats know that conservatives are, at best, leery of Romney. They figure that an Endorsement by Axelrod will turn people off even more and they won't vote for Romney, thinking that "if Axelrod likes him, how can I vote for him?"

It could backfire on them if people are indeed turned off by the endorsement and vote for Gingrich.

Axelrod endorsing a liberal like Romney is not beyond reason

And don't you think Romney would not meet with this guy.

After all, Miit is a liberal, too. We need a new candidate (like Now) No matter how dumb the other side is, people will begin to see through Romney and stay home. Clinton will be helping Obama soon.

That’s been my suspicion all along.

A lot of the infighting among the various candidates supporters has an alinskyite feel to it.

I’d be curious about how many of the people attending the big Ilitch fundraiser for Obama in Detroit also gave money to Romney.

Michigan RINOs have a real desire to merge the parties. Former GOP congressman Joe Schwarz was a bigwig in Rick Snyder’s campaing while actively supporting several democrats around the state.

Mittens would positively swoon if Dear Leader Obozo would ask him to be his VP pick to replace Biden. Romney would view this as the ultimate in “bipartisanship” and reach out to the other party. And the RINOs on Fox News would applaud his masterful sellout of America.

Yes, and has probably contributed the maximum to both!
