1. He asked the same question about 5 times: "what if it fails?"

And kudos to Axelrod for not taking the bait when he gave the failure scenario around 2010 and would there be a second stimulus.

This was a good quick reminder of why I no longer watch sunday am "funnies." And I call this one a "funnie" because I was laughing at all the negative scenarios the interviewe was come up with. This was just stupid.

2. These "pundits" give me a headache.

I just can't take them anymore.

If I were in Axelrod's shoes in that interview, I'd probably walk out saying: "You know what? You're wasting my time with your redundant, pointless 'yeah, but' speculation and devil's advocate questions. Get back to me when you have something worth asking."

There's a very, very good reason I'm a behind-the-scenes kind of person. :D

Kudos to Axelrod for emulating his boss's cool and unflappable demeanor. I couldn't do it.

3. He had an answer for every question that jerk asked.

Thanks for posting this -- I turned the damned TV off this morning.
