Obama campaign senior strategist David Axelrod suggested Thursday that the Romney campaign jumped on Hilary Rosen's comments "like a raft in the deep blue sea" as they drown in "their own problems."
"It was an unfortunate comment," Axelrod said on CNN's "John King USA," following up on a Wednesday night tweet in which he described Rosen's remarks -- made on CNN -- as "inappropriate and offensive."
Axelrod reminded King that Rosen is "your employee, not ours."
Though some Romney supporters have identified Rosen as an Obama adviser, Axelrod noted that "she works for CNN. CNN, I think, wouldn't allow her to be an operative for our campaign or the DNC."

” Axelrod to CNN: Rosen is ‘your employee, not ours’ “
A perfect example of “distinction without a difference”....
Yeah, but you can understand why they might have lost track of that detail.
This is going to become a tar baby that will turn the woman thing around. If only they knew how to play this.
Ha - thanks for the laugh.
This is the woman who was supposed to teach Wasserman how to not spout off on tv?
How does one distinguish a White House employee from a CNN employee?
“This is going to become a tar baby that will turn the woman thing around. If only they knew how to play this.”
It’s not a given that our side does, either. My view can be summarized by “pit bull-—leg”. I hope to be so joyously annoyed by this story that even Geo Zimmerman fades from memory.
Btw, you can tell Axelrod’s really, really pissed. Breaks my heart.
All of CNN are operatives of the campaign / DNC
What interesting is that Hilary Rosen apparently donated a bunch of money to Mark Foley... the Archduke Ferdinand of the 2006 election. And who woulda thought, right?
WH operatives in the liberal media operate under a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.
Of course, there are those who are very open and indiscreet about their “orientation”: Matthews. Williams, Schultz, to name a few.
If Rosen is a CNN employee and doesn’t speak for the WH.... Why would Obama, Biden, the Wookie make a statement to clarify their positions ....
????
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Don't know why that would stop her. Most of her compatriots at CNN, and the rest of the MSM, are in the tank for Obama, why wouldn't she be, as well?
By the size of their paycheck?
The wheels on the bus go round and round...
@CNN - “Here’s a grease gun. Lube the ball joints while you’re there.”
Hilarious! You can't make this stuff up.
To make that ditinction they need to ask George Stephanopolis who works for....works for.......nevermind.
