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".
