Two of President Barack Obama’s closest allies, former senior advisor David Axelrod and Attorney General Eric Holder came close to blows immediately after a Cabinet meeting, according to a new book to be released next week.
Only the intervention of senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prevented the two men from throwing punches, Daniel Klaidman claims in the book, “Kill or Capture.”
Politico’s Mike Allen got an advance look at the book, which is due to hit stores on Tuesday, and revealed the altercation in the West Wing which started when Holder accused Axelrod of trying to place a political operative in his Department of Justice.
“After the [Cabinet meeting] ended, Axelrod made a beeline for the attorney general,” Klaidman wrote in the book subtitled “The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama President.”
“Obama’s senior adviser was incensed. It had gotten back to him that Holder and his aides were spreading the word that he was trying to improperly influence the Justice Department. Axelrod, who knew all too well that even the hint of White House meddling with Justice Department investigations could detonate a full-blown scandal, had been careful not to come close to that line,” Klaidman continues.

Or is O and Axelrod afraid he's to close to the Clintons?
“Seems to me this is just more confirmation that the self-declared genius POTUS is more like a speechifying potted plant.”
Man, take it easy on the potted plants.
Don’t buy anything this admin does. The shift off socialism captures nobody. 7 million workers out of work is all him. Get Bent Baraack Hussein Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“As president, you kill people.”
“An inscrutable Obama looked back at Clarke, not betraying any emotion. ‘I know that,’ Obama told Clarke in an even tone.......And wait until I get started on my race war, population control and reeducation programs.
BTW, shove your EPA up China’s ass now. The US doesn’t even have one worth screwing anymore.

Oh PUH-LEEZE!! Holder is the ULTIMATE Politcal guy in the DOJ!! What a freaking joke. The entire DOJ is now the “Just Us” dept. I don’t believe a word of this crap.
I’m surprised they didn’t need to have a beer summit to get drunked up and brave enough to have a slap fight.
Why am I suddenly reminded of the Dom Deluise scene in Blazing Saddles?
“You brute you brute you brute!”
I agree. It's common for communists to have "kommisars" or, whatever they were called, in other departments watching over the political side of goings on.
This White House is so much like a soviet style govt. it's not even remotely funny.
Wouldn’t want the WH interfering with NBPP/DOJ affairs now.
Frankly I don’t believe much in the ‘good parts’ in these tell all books.
These leaks between journalist/writer types that are all members of the same club are big time merchandizing, and we’ll never know the whole truth.

Probably the only ones to buy it.
These squabbles must be like the kind that break out in gay bath houses. Guys flailing away ineffectually, lashing out girly style. Windmill punches.
Those are the only jobs Obamao cares about.

So why was it the intervention of Jarrett and not Obama
Actually, the face on this dog is more than enough to bust up a fight between two biker gangs!
This is cover for what has gone one from the getgo.
As one of those striving Stuyvesant kids (Class of '65) I would like to point out that in the 1960s, when Axelrod and Holder attended (along with such notables as Dick Morris and Jerrold Nadler,) the high school was still at its original location at 15th Street and 1st Avenue. The building had no school yard. The new building, a stone's throw from Ground Zero, didn't come along until the 21st Century.
Obama, Axelrod, Holder and Jarrett the four Communist’s bent on destroying this nation. They can all go rot in hell.
