A worried White House is poised to pull out all the stops in Gov. Deval Patrick’s heated gubernatorial bid – viewed as an early litmus test of whether disenchanted voters are ready to give President Obama’s message of hope and change four more years – or the heave-ho.
A Vineyard-bound Obama and his team already are discussing fall fund-raising appearances with Patrick’s camp and churning out campaign ads while David Axlerod – campaign guru for both Patrick and Obama – chats with Patrick “fairly regularly,” said one source close to the Obama administration.
“If the governor loses, it’s really bad for the president,” a Democratic insider close to the White House said yesterday, pointing out Obama already lost a seemingly sure U.S. Senate seat to Republican upstart Scott Brown.
A quick review of the similarities between Misters Obama and Patrick…
1. Both used David Axelrod as a campaign manager.
2. Meaningless campaign slogan for Deval Patrick: Together We Can.
3. Meaningless campaign slogan for Barack Obama: Yes We Can.
Oh and in case you forgot, their stump speeches were eerily familiar.
Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod and Mayor Daley stand to make major bucks off the Olympics if the games come to Chicago. Why else would they all be pushing so hard for the city to host? Do they care about Chicago as a city? Do they know a large movement in Chicago does not want the Olympics to happen there?
Conservatives in America should thank Michelle Malkin for all of her hard work exposing the Chicago Machine politics behind Mr. & Mrs. Obama and Valerie Jarrett. If you haven’t read it already, you should check out Ms. Malkin’s expose titled An Illustrated Guide: All The President’s Olympic Cronies.
"Transparency" was another LIE from Obama. He was/is friends with Bill Ayers. He was/is sympathetic to The Weather Underground. We are witnessing an American coup by the radical left.
Quick, where’s my bullshit detector?
Remember last fall when Obama and his supporters swore up and down that Obama had no knowledge of the terrorist roots of Weather Underground founder, Bill Ayers? That’s him in the picture at left standing on an American flag.
“WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s top political adviser said today Obama “didn’t know the history” of unrepentant bomber William Ayers’ activities in the violent Weather Underground movement when the candidate attended a political event at Ayers’ home in 1995.”
“When he went he certainly didn’t know the history,” chief Obama strategist David Axelrod told CNN – arguing for the first time since the story surfaced early this year that Obama was unaware of Ayers’ past.”
“There’s no evidence that they’re close,” Axelrod added.”
Welcome to weird coincidence land! Turns out a buddy of Bill Ayers named Jeff Jones who was also the co-founder of the Weather Underground is now on the board of the Apollo Alliance, a radical lefty group that helped to draft the $787 BILLION dollar Stimulus Bill.
“Could it be that the 1,200-page American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill, written prior to Obama’s inauguration, is actually cribbed from the Apollo Economic Recovery Act? If so, does that also hold true for the administration’s cap and trade energy bill, which has already passed in the House?”
“WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is declining to release documents that would identify visitors to the White House, embracing a legal position taken by the Bush administration, according to a watchdog group that filed a federal lawsuit over access to the records.”
“The group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed its lawsuit after being denied access to Secret Service records, including White House entry and exit logs, that would identify coal and energy industry visitors.”
“The government’s refusal to release the records contrasts with President Obama’s pledge of transparency.”
“Transparency” was another LIE from Obama. He was/is friends with Bill Ayers. He was/is sympathetic to The Weather Underground. We are witnessing an American coup by the radical left.
These are the very people who are attacking Glenn Beck for exposing them. What a dark day for America when the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist organization, has the ear of the American President and is authoring legislation to be paid for by the American people. It’s sickening.
Democrats don’t like September 11th because for some weird reason they feel it glorifies Republicans. That’s how they see 9/11. It’s just a partisan problem to be re-branded. Luckily for them, they now have a president who agrees.
Last time I checked, 9/11 was a national day of mourning for all Americans, regardless of political affiliation. Not so anymore. Democrats want to change the narrative of 9/11 to fit their agenda.
“The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.”
“This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year’s election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it’s not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.”
Michelle Malkin has more on the subject, including a report from the Sweetness and Light blog which has then Senator Obama’s official response on September 11th, 2001.
“The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others.”
Empathy? Really??? That was what caused Jihadists to murder thousands of Americans, a lack of empathy???
You know, this reminds me of another Democrat who also happens to be a useless political stooge sold by master astroturfer David Axelrod. In 2007, Obama’s friend Deval Patrick made the following stunningly ignorant remarks about September 11th which were found offensive even by the standards of liberal Massachusetts residents.
“Among many other things, 9/11 was a failure of human understanding. It was mean and nasty and bitter attack on the United States. But it was also about the failure of human beings to understand each other, and to learn to love each other.”
The next time someone kills a member of your family with a bomb or beheads your spouse with a knife in front of a video camera, be sure to remind them that they’re acting mean and nasty. Remind them that what they need is more “empathy.”
Note to the Democrats: Try to re-brand 9/11 if you wish. YOU are the only ones who see 9/11 as a “partisan” issue.
The American people know exactly what 9/11 really was. It had nothing to do with empathy and it will never be recognized for your thinly disguised service to Obama’s never ending campaign.
9/11 was a direct attack on America by vicious people who wanted to kill as many Americans as they could. Period.
The Democratic Party’s attempt to capitalize on such a massive American tragedy is beyond inappropriate, it’s disgusting.
Chief Obama propagandist David Axelrod, the man who wrote the vacuous slogan "yes we can," has a vested interest in the passage of ObamaCare. It's making him rich.
Chief Obama propagandist David Axelrod, the man who wrote the vacuous slogan “yes we can,” has a vested interest in the passage of ObamaCare. It’s making him rich.
Axelrod’s former firm, for which his son still works, is AKPD Media and they are being paid by an organization called Health Economy Now to help push ObamaCare. Health Economy Now includes big PHARMA, the SEIU and the AARP. The conflict of interest? AKPD owes David Axelrod a lot of money.
See how many hands wash the others?
David Axelrod helps to pass ObamaCare. ObamaCare passes, AKPD has more money. AKPD gives money to David Axelrod. Everyone is happy!
“If Axelrod has been negotiating any part of any deal involving any of these players which are funneling money to the firm that owes him money, or if he is advising the president on the deals with any of these groups, that’s a conflict of interest. Laundering the money through a “coalition” doesn’t remove the conflict much less the appearance of impropriety. The coalition is in effect partially funding David Axelrod’s severance package though its members might have done so unknowingly. These forthcoming payments to Axelrod are much more significant than the sort of “retained ties” that Democrats blasted Dick Cheney for vis-a-vis Halliburton even though there was no high level negotiations between the vice president and his former company.”
“Now, Bloomberg’s Timothy Burger brings news about Axelrod’s latest health care conflicts of interest that will come as no surprise to those who have fully informed themselves of the Chicago way. While White House press secretary Robert Gibbs assails the motives of grass-roots activists by falsely smearing the movement as corporate-funded shills, Barack Obama’s own senior adviser and chief Astroturfer raked in millions of dollars from Big Pharma.”
“Critics of President Obama’s health-care overhaul are zeroing in on his senior adviser, whose former partners at a Chicago-based firm are the beneficiaries of huge ad buys—now at $24 million and counting—by White House allies in the reform fight.”
Of course, it has never been proven that Dick Cheney had any conflict of interest where Halliburton was concerned but that never stopped the left. If you want a good laugh, watch the great Halliburton protest of 2007 below.
If you really want something because you feel you would benefit from having it, do you need someone to “sell” it to you or do you just buy it?
When it comes to ObamaCare, it’s increasingly clear that the American people aren’t buying it. What’s the Obama Administration doing about that? They’re enlisting chief propagandist David Axelrod to hold meetings with Democrat reps to teach them how to “sell” it to people.
“In another sign that the White House will play a very hands-on role during the looming Congressional health care wars of August, senior Obama adviser David Axelrod is set to hold a private messaging session with House Dems tomorrow on the Hill, I’m told.”
“With a House Dem bill closer to reality, the battle will shift to a new phase: Selling it. And according to an email to House Dems that was sent over by a source, Axelrod and top White House health care adviser Nancy DeParle will be attending a breakfast with members to discuss “health care reform messaging.”
And in another classic move by the “most transparent presidency ever” the meetings are “private.”
“This meeting is MEMBERS-ONLY,” the email reads, meaning no press and no staff.”
In a shocking predictable turn of events, Ethan Axelrod (son of David Axelrod) has been hired by the Huffington Post. David Axelrod is the brains behind the inspiring yet meaningless campaign slogans of Barack Obama (Yes We Can) and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (Together We Can).
“Ethan Axelrod is joining the Huffington Post, the liberal Web site that has been largely supportive of President Obama. His dad, now a White House senior adviser, was a Chicago Tribune reporter until he quit in 1984 to help run a Senate campaign (and still has a soft spot for newspapers, though his old one is in bankruptcy).”
“I’ve been interested in journalism for a while,” the 22-year-old Axelrod said Tuesday. “I heard through my father that they were expanding, so I applied for it.”
Congratulations on your new job Ethan. I’m sure your familial connections had absolutely everything nothing to do with your new career path. Let’s roll out the green carpet.
Mark Levin, former Reagan Administration official, talk radio host and writer of the explosive best seller “Liberty and Tyranny” trashes the press and the Obama administration for their treatment of Sarah Palin. He also suggests that the ethics violations attacks on Palin may have come directly from the Obama White House, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and the Democratic National Committee.
Levin says that Palin had to leave Alaska to make herself a national political figure and is enthusiastic about her future as a presidential candidate.
Money quote: 6:47 “I’m sorry but I like this lady.”
Because after all, that strategy worked out really well for Martha Coakley, didn’t it? 
Quick, where’s my bullshit detector?
