David Axelrod on Meet the Press.
What a pathetic and weak performance!

Forget the remarks about the 'professional left', he is just downright poor at his job. David Axelrod gave the impression of being apologetic on every question. After Axelrod even Giuliani looks strong and articulate. This is not satisfactory. In a country full of competent alternatives why would President Obama continue to put up with this?

1. Yeah, it was soulless performance
Just watched it myself.

He strung out all the talking points fairly well, but there was just no feeling. No one will really remember anything he said here.

No passion, no excitement. The Obama Administration's key people need to do better.

3. He's always put on a pathetic "performance" whenever I've seen him interviewed.

He memorizes "talking points" and delivers them verbatim.

Why does he speak without passion? Because he doesn't believe in the points he is making.

8. OTOH, if not for Axelrod, we wouldn't know that Hillary is a racist.
Axelrod was the mind behind labeling Bill and Hill as racists -- in order to win the primary. True or not, this underhanded tactic worked like a charm. Gotta give him credit where it's due.

9. Axelrod used to be an apologist for Chicago's Richie Daley!
He was pretty lame back then, too!
