It seems like Axelrod has to be pushed quite a bit to “throw an elbow” and he does it so graciously. Never thought I would agree that Bush was “gracious” about anything. He has been gracious during this transition.

Really appreciated Axelrod knocking Cheney, Rove and Andrew Card in the head with his elbow. Sure wish someone would give them all a solid kick in the ass by playing the justice card.

Interesting watching C-Span while the discussion of stimulus package has been taking place and the vote for the package with a bunch of older Union gents here in Dayton Ohio at Maria Joseph;s nursing home. Bob 92 who was with GM for 45 years, Dick 86, with GM for 40 some, Jerry 87 with postal service and my pops with Teamsters for 40 some years. A few of the comments ” have never seen it this bad, they need to create jobs, we need folks to join unions again, we ended up in this situation because of the last eight years”. One of my favorites so far came out of my pops about Obama and how quickly he is moving on issues “no moss growing under his feet” All of these union gents love Obama really love him although I do hear a fair amount of discussion about the lack of holding the Bush administration accountable

I’m also sure that Rahm Emmanuel called Greggie after the stimulus bill to ask him WTF do you think you’re doing?

Maybe the two things together caused Greggie to rethink whether he really wanted that job after all.

Will he trust them like he did the GOP. Oh, you might say that is apples and oranges, since the GOPers are Americans. But if you think about it, it isn’t much of a stretch. No matter what happens, the GOP will be against Obama. Think if there is another 9/11. Can you see the GOP lining up behind Obama? hahahahaha No way! They would be as cut throat as ever.

If people are going to try and make arguments, the very least they can do is be factually accurate. Otherwise it’s just a waste of everyone’s time.

Nice try at launching a talking point, though. Do try to inform yourself fully before launching another…

anyone else here think Rove will ever STFU if he isn’t wearing an orange jumpsuit and some iron bracelets?

Cheney, too. These guys are so incapable of contrition and sincere introspection, it will take the FULL weight of the law, not a handslapping, to get them to ever ponder their guilt.

Axelrod should have a blog, he’s one of those soft-spoken authorities who doesn’t need a bullhorn to make people listen.
