Wow, talk about being disconnected from reality! 😯
David Axelrod, the political message guru who has been at Barack Obama’s side since he was an Illinois state senator, has a message for the Sunday show pundits, sky-is-falling Democrats and chortling Republicans: Chill out.
President Obama’s re-election campaign, smarting from days of doom-saying, sent out a memo from Mr. Axelrod Friday morning, saying prognosticators busy burying any chance of an Obama Second Term don’t understand what’s really going on in the nation’s body politic. Sure, the president’s approval ratings are in dangerously low territory 14 months before the 2012 election. But Americans like his plan to create jobs and boost the economy. They trust Mr. Obama and like him.
And in politics, approval is relative, and relatively speaking a sour electorate disapproves of Republicans more than they disapprove of Mr. Obama.
Um, has Mr. Axelrod seen this here?
Out of touch, bunker mentality President and White House. Just like Bush was in 2006, when Iraq went sour.
Unreal. 🙄
