Axelrod: Obama Campaign Appears Negative Because of Romney


120410_david_axelrod_ap_328In his appearance on Wednesday on Morning Joe, David Axelrod tried to explain how the public’s perception of the Obama campaign was the most negative. According to an NBC/ Wall Street Journal poll, 22% of Americans viewed the Obama campaign as the most negative while nearly half of them saw the Romney campaign as negative.

So how did Axelrod respond to this? Well he did sort of like his boss does. When Barack Obama is looking for someone to blame, George W. Bush is his “punching bag.” When Axelrod looked for blame, he blamed Mitt Romney. I’m not kidding.

Axelrod said,

“Well that’s because the Romney campaign and their friends in the SuperPAC world have just spent tens and tens of millions of dollars specifically on spots accusing Obama of running a negative campaign. So I’m not surprised to see those numbers jump a little.”

You have to watch the video because Joe Scarborough is giggling a bit and it is classic that he asks without skipping a beat, “So it’s not your negative ads, it’s their negative ads accusing you of being negative that has caused that number to go up?”

Oh brother, it seems that Obamaitis is contagious. These people cannot accept blame for what they do and they live in a fantasy world where they think everyone in America thinks they are God’s gift to man, except if Mitt Romney or anyone else decides to oppose them about anything.

Seriously the mentality of these people to think they cannot do wrong and everyone else is to blame is disturbing and borders on mental illness.

    Asselrod looks like a younger Hitler. Anyway, doofus, the campaign appears negative because it is negative, just like Obumbler appears stupid because he is stupid. But he reads fairly well, which is an improvement over most of his braindead ovine supporters.

    Axelrod needs to move someplace far, far away so we don’t have to continue listening to his ridiculous, racist, socialistic and deceitful rhetoric. It’s become as old as Obama’s.

  • Gringo Infidel

    Axelrod is just another lying POS who will invent anything to make his ilk seem better than they actually are.

  • Mad Mike

    Finally, a “breath of fresh air” from Axelrod and the Obama campaign! Instead of their old worn out, tired, and false claims of: “Bush did it”, we now have a brand spanking new, innovative and original claim of: “Romney did it”!

  • Jersey Bill

    No, Axelrod! You comment should say: “Obama’s campaign doesn’t APPEAR negative, IT IS negative. Because Obama is the most negative president in American history.” NOTHING he says is positive, encouraging, or stimulating. It’s the same old tiring condescending, browneating, ugly type of language aimed at knocking people down a peg to soften the landing spot America will find itself in if Obama gets another term. Reawaken the USA? Get rid of Obama.

    Axelrod is a liar just like his boss Ovomit. Plain and simple. They have a plan for this country that they only reveal in slip ups, like the “you didnt build that” in his speach. This guy belives the government is and should be all powerfull. We the people exist to serve and fund the government. They cant campain on that as their platform, they cant praise their record (at least not to Americans) Cmmunists love this guy. We the people need to do all we can to vote this communist pig out of our house.

    Obama’s campaign does not seem to be negative, it is negative, for their is nothing positive, in the minds of the electorate, that Obama has done in his tenure as President, and Obama knows this, and therefore can’t campaign on his record. Every policy used, or law passed, by Obama, have been thought of as unpopular by the majority of Americans, and all the polls show this, and Obama reads the polls and knows what the majority of the people think of his policies and endorsed laws. Obama has nothing else he can do but to run a negative campaign, in the slim hope that people will forget or ignore all his failures, so he can convince them that Romney will do an even worse job as President, as Obama has done.

    Axelgrease is as goofy as he looks. Obama is a lying, $xxx-for-brains Muslim. I would not be at all surprised if the government was behind the theater shootings simply because, like Hitler, Obama wants to disarm the citizenry. He wants the UN to tell us what to do.

  • DOOM

    If Obama tried to run a positive campaign tgey wouldn’t be able to scrape together a single ad. Hopeychange doesn’t work anymore, and his record is terrible. He’s tried to blame Bush as recently as this year, and that fell short. He might have learned not to make promises he can’t keep. He has no option other than negative.

      Hope and change last election. Hype and blame this election. Only 140 days to go

    Does Axelrod pronounce his name using the s sound for the letter x?

  • gnafuasusual

    Let’s face it. Obama is a negative. Where are all the hopes and promises he made? In 2008, I was listening rather closely to his yarn about what he could do if elected president and that’s why I couldn’t vote for him. I saw a promise of ‘change’ from some mad man in Germany many years ago and the destruction that the evil man brought to those who thought their country would be back on the road to progress and stimulated by a better economy; they were destitute and looking for jobs (sound familiar?) And, what did Hitler do about people’s firearms? He confiscated them and the good Germans had nothing to defend themselves from the tyrant Hitler and his ilk. The rest is history but long remembered and we should learn from past events. Axelrod is just a cut below Hitler and he needs to be run out of USA – tarred and feathered.

    It is amazing. Haven’t you noticed that Obama’s campaign is accusing Romney’s campaign of doing the things they are doing. I have noticed that starting months ago.

  • Observant_One

    I looked up the word “idiot” and “loser” in Wikipedia, coincidentally both entries showed a picture of Axelrod. Why is that?
