David Axelrod Stills Bush for His Current Failures – ‘This Week’ Spin

Love watching David Axelrod spin his failed policies. He appeared this morning on This Week and he was in full defense mode. He started out answering the questions saying that Obama inherited an economic mess. Still blaming Bush. That’s fine and all but didn’t they say that if the Congress just passed his budget and stimulus that everything would be OK? Could it be that his horrible policies were equally if not more so to blame. That would be, yes. He also couldn’t resist blaming wall street for good measure. The blame game message is a fail. No one wants to hear excuses. The Obama administration had a year to fix the problem while spending this country into oblivion. All they have accomplished is folks that have zero confidence in their administration.

The interviewer asked Axelrod what he had learned over the year given that the policies aren’t popular. Axelrod, bless his heart, still does not get it. It bodes well for meaningful change in November that they are still using the same tired talking points. He blamed health care costs as a burden on small businesses, families and government. No doubt health care costs are ridiculous so why didn’t they try to create a reform that would have worked instead of something no one understands that is full of bribes and kickbacks.

On health care he had the gall to say that if the bill would be allowed to pass that eventually the people would come to love it. That is exactly the type of elitist bullshit attitude we have been fighting against since Obama came to office. That they know better than me how to govern my life.

You know they keep coming back to Massachusetts and their health care plan. That Scott Brown comes from a state that has universal care. That the rest of the country deserves it to. I agree. If your state wants to fund health care then by all means the state should go for it. The people of Idaho should not have to pay for health care they don’t want for the people of California. The federal government should make it more competitive for states to offer health care to its citizens. Basically the feds need to stay the hell out of health care and let the states deal with it. I’m tired of Washington thinking they know what’s best. It’s all about an overbearing Socialist government’s rise in D.C. Stay the hell out of my life.

It’s funny to listen to them yap about “obstructionism”. Like the GOP is simply a party of no. Well, that may be. But how can you say yes to something you don’t agree with? The Dems definition of bi-partisanship is that you have to go along with whatever we propose and we aren’t going to listen to your ideas. Seems like they are just as much a party of no as well. Seems they say no to anything the GOP advises.

So after the big wins in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia, they continue to ignore the folks. Fine. We’re getting ready to kick the Progressives out in November.
