The video clip that could come back to haunt Axelrod and Obama


There was an article the other day on Newsbusters.org that pointed out how snippy David Axelrod got with Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski when pressed about Obama's link to Blagojevich, but you actually need to see the entire 12-minute clip...Joe Scarborough takes Axelrod to the woodshed about how the claims being made by the Obama camp not being involved with Blagojevich now or in the past didn't wash with Obama's own statements from an older interview, and he does a great job taking Alexrod to task...note how Axelrod's annoyance grows with Scarborough's persistence.

First, watch the 2002 clip of Obama, saying how he's helping Blagojevich:




Here is the Morning Joe clip, where Axelrod now says Obama DIDN'T help Blagojevich:

Alexrod on the results of the internal review the Obama camp allegedly conducted regarding staff involvement in selling Obama's Senate seat: "...nobody's more eager...uh...then...uh...we are to be able to...uh...release that..."

Note to self: File under Obama doublespeak dictionary..."eager" means "afraid".

DONOFRIO/WROTNOWSKI IS NOT DEAD — IT IS AIRTIGHT – THE SUPREMES KNOW IT BUT ARE AFRAID TO ACT — SO THE EXECUTIVE AND/OR THE PEOPLE WILL DO SO — EASY WAY TO MAKE SURE OBAMA NEVER GETS INAUGURATED — HERE’S HOW (READ CAREFULLY):–

Since the Supreme Court has now prevented itself from acknowledging the question of whether Barack H. Obama is or is not an Article II “natural born citizen” based on the Kenyan/British citizenship of Barack Obama’s father at the time of his birth (irrespective of whether Barack Obama is deemed a “citizen” born in Hawaii or otherwise) as a prerequisite to qualifying to serve as President of the United States under the Constitution — the Court having done so at least three times and counting, first before the Nov 4 general election and twice before the Dec 15 vote of the College of Electors — it would seem appropriate, if not necessary, for all Executive Branch departments and agencies to secure advance formal advice from the United States Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel as to how to respond to expected inquiries from federal employees who are pledged to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” as to whether they are governed by laws, regulations, orders and directives issued under Mr. Obama during such periods that said employees, by the weight of existing legal authority and prior to a decision by the Supreme Court, believe in good faith that Mr. Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen”.
