Obama adviser Axelrod: Romney not 'qualified to call himself a job-creator’
By Kevin Bogardus - 06/03/12 11:15 AM ET
David Axelrod, a senior adviser to President Obama’s reelection campaign, said Sunday that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney does not have a record of a “job-creator.”
Speaking on CBS’s Face the Nation, Axelrod said the former Massachusetts governor shouldn’t be considered an expert on the economy. Romney’s record in government and in the private sector was not about creating jobs, according to the Obama adviser.
“No one’s arguing whether Mitt Romney’s qualified to be president. What we’re arguing is whether he’s qualified to call himself a job-creator,” Axelrod said. “That’s not what he did in business. That’s not the purpose of his business. And that’s not certainly what he did in Massachusetts, where they had one of the worst economic records in the country.”
The economy is a central focus of the presidential race. Friday’s jobs report — where employers only added 69,000 jobs and the unemployment climbed to 8.2 percent — could hurt President Obama’s reelection chances if the labor market continues to struggle.
Axelrod dismissed suggestions that the Obama campaign would dial back its attacks on Romney’s time at private-equity firm Bain Capital. The Obama adviser talked about one Obama campaign commercial that focused on Bain’s involvement with GST Steel, a company which went bankrupt.
“No. First of all, It’s part of a piece. Is Mitt Romney’s background, are his ideas the ones that could move our economy forward?” Axelrod said. “That’s not an economic strategy that’s going to rebuild the middle class in this country, that’s going to grow our economy in the long run, and that’s the point we’re making.”

Obama has spent trillions, and he aint exactly a job creator either.
Of course he keeps the Air Force One crew working overtime.
What, is Mitt too lefty for ya, Ax?

Axelrod is qualified to be an American.
“No one’s arguing whether Mitt Romney’s qualified to be president. What we’re arguing is whether he’s qualified to call himself a job-creator,” Axelrod said. “That’s not what he did in business. That’s not the purpose of his business. And that’s not certainly what he did in Massachusetts, where they had one of the worst economic records in the country.”
Just when we start to think things are boring... :D
If Willard locked himself in a windowless room with no outside communication he would “create more jobs” than little bammy.
By simply doing nothing at all.
On the other hand, little bammy thrashes around spasmodically destroying millions every year with Utopian socialist commie “green” crap, E.O.s, memos, policies and “stimulus packages.”
.
Mr. Obama has never run one of these. How would he even know?
Axelrod and Obama are the greatest jobs destroyers in American history, and THIS is the crap they are doling out?
Man, it must be hard for a demcorat voter to be so blind to the obvious.
Oops. I meant to say Axelrod is not qualified to be an American — and I see someone else beat me to it!
Axlerod’s gauntlet laid down against Clinton’s obvious endorsement of Romney, his credentials and certain qualifications for the job, as he stated loud and clear. The O. campaign must be livid.
Is he reading the script of Atlas Shrugged? Just saw the movie sounds like the Economic Minister.
Axelrod’s father and Valerie Jarrett’s father both worled for the Chicago Communist Party USA newspaper. Big surprise that zer0 always surrounds himself with communists.
Zer0 has been an excellent job creator for lots of folks, and their staffs that report directly to him.
Think how many czars and their staffs have been hired. Think of how many cabinet members, even though they are so much lower on Zer0’s pecking order, have increased their staffs.
What a job creator! He even had to interview a few folks himself - a caddie, a manservant, and back-up pilots to have AF1 carry his ass around the country for free.
obama has no experience what so ever at doing anything.
Neither Obama nor Axelrod is qualified to carry Romney’s jockstrap across the locker room.
LOL...he has got to be joking right?
Axlegrease is a real Chicago gangster. Who else would consciously try to look like Hitler?
...That’s not the purpose of his business...
Axelrod like Obama is clueless about why businesses are formed, or why they grow. Employees are a byproduct of growth, not the other way around. These idiots are well qualified to lead the former Soviet Union, but not America.
Axelrod gives me the creeps. He’s one weird dude.
