David Axelrod Tells Fox News Sunday: Leaving White House Early 2011

video
» 23 comments

This morning on Fox News Sunday David Axelrod, one of President Obama’s top advisers, told host Chris Wallace that he intends to leave the White House in “late winter, early spring” of 2011.

He plans to return to Chicago then to begin work on the President’s re-election campaign for 2012.

Axelrod is the latest in a string of high-level departures from the Obama administration, such as Peter Orszag and Rahm Emanuel. However, this may not be all bad news for Obama: turnover in the White House at the two-year mark is not at all uncommon. And Axelrod was effective at getting Obama elected in 2008 — so it’s possible his strengths are better suited to the campaign trail rather than the White House.

    And in the immortal words of John Deacon…

    “Another one bites the dust
    Another one bites the dust
    And another one gone, and another one gone
    Another one bites the dust
    Hey, I’m gonna get you too
    Another one bites the dust”

    David is clearly an artist/creative person quitting his job to get some FREE Obama-care.
    Nancy Pelosi approves.

    Axelrod to Obama the day after the mid-term bloodbath:

    “When the media asks you what you think or how you feel just say….ELECTRIC CARS “

    Looks like Captain Queeg and Moochelle are going down alone. The dawn of the golden age of liberalism, squashed like a bug.

    Obama’s re-election campaign comprises exactly one person, and she’ll say ‘No.’

  • valkyrie101

    He does have a very cool name: “Axlerod”. Doesn’t that sound like a man who wheels and deals? And is that bad?

  • valkyrie101

    Most of Axlerod’s critics are male men, and Anne Coulter, who are just intimidated by his name, for one reason or another.

  • Alz

    I call him the Axelrod of Evil.

    He was bad news in Chicago for many, many years, too.

  • Just4thefax

    Fact: Axelrod will attempt to write a book to distance himself from Ozero. Herd it here first.

    To call Schoen a democratic strategist is inaccurate and misleading. Both he and Caddell are Fox news sources and have aligned themselves morew with republicans in recent years.

    There are some tasks that are simply impossible to accomplish, keeping the stench at bay that is the -0bama agenda is one of them.

    Thanks for posting this Eddie. I mentioned this in my comments on another story.
