White House adviser David Axelrod rejected criticism that the Obama administration is over- regulating and anti-business, asserting that the U.S. financial system "is now stable, instead of collapsing." On the bright side, statements like this explain where a lot of that dope from Afghanistan is winding up.
"Yo, Achmed, we need another ton for Axelrod Effendi, just like last week."
"Hokay, but COD this time. I do not think he is going to be employed much longer."
"We're working closely with business," Axelrod said on the ABC "This Week" program. "We have made it clear to business that the beatings will continue until morale improves. Filthy Kulaks."
"We're not micro-managing anything." "That's why every bill we pass is only 2,000 pages long. They're just, like, general statements of policy".
Ivan Seidenberg, chief executive of Verizon Communications Inc., in a speech last month, said White House regulatory policies were discouraging job growth and creating an anti- business climate. And in doing so, won the coveted Master of the Obvious Award.
Axelrod rejected the argument that government has intervened in the U.S. economy too much, saying that company profits are increasing and that "our financial system is now stable, instead of collapsing, which would have been devastating." If The One can take credit for winning the war in Iraq, I guess he can take credit for increasing profits too.
Axelrod defended Obama's efforts to overhaul the financial regulatory system, reining in bank risk-taking that could further threaten the U.S. economy. "You can't simply let industry in each and every case self-regulate," he said on ABC. Right. Only politicians from Chicago have the ethical background required to regulate industries. What was the last bid for that Senate seat?
"We're making a good, hard case because the American people are going to have to choose between two economic theories: the one that got us into this disaster in the first place, and the one that is getting us out." I didn't know Communism was on the ballot this fall, but it makes sense.

Goebbels was a huge proponent of the big lie. Simply put, simply say something obviously untrue to anyone with any facts, repeat it constantly, and a percentage of the pupulation actually believes it. Couple that with retaliation against anyone who asserts the contrarian (and truthful) position, and the public dialogue becomes monotone over time.
Aside from Fox News and talk radio....seem like a familiar pattern?

Axelrod has never worked for a living in his entire life, how would he know how the Obumble's overreaching affects business? I'm beginning to believe the Obumble administration is the greatest gathering of loons in the nation's history - even exceeding the Harding administration by at least one power of ten, maybe two.

He's obviously not been to the grocery store lately, paid an insurance premium, purchased meds, or as a young person fresh out of college... tried to find a job. The beltway bubble, if only they could escape it and witness the truth!

Sorry, Dave. After this much time out in the real world - I pay attention to what y'all do - not what y'all say. This makes it so much easier to filter out the bull-c**p.
And you, Mr. Axelrod are a purveyor of exactly that, in 18-wheeler truckloads.
PS - I can see November from my house.

Keyboards must now be humming as tens of thousands of lawyers rush to prepare their briefs. Plantiffs names can easily be added later. Holder smiles.

I need a lawyer. I think I will sue the fed govt. Holder in particular. First time I have heard of the fed sueing multiple suits to bankrupt a state. Holder has taken note from the Left attacks on Palen.

P2K - this admin, which entered with so much "promise" to the blind and easily led, has done more in less than 2 years to damage race relations in the last 20 yrs, IMHO. Racial Cowards indeed, Chief Racist Holder

Having a 10% tax on tanning beds isn't racial - even though 90% of the users happen to be 'white'.
Enforcing Federal immigration laws *is* racial because 80-90% of the breakers just happen to be 'brown' (to put it in a language even Holder can understand).
White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod defended the recess appointment of Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, saying it was a necessary move to fill a key position in the healthcare system. Rationer-In-Chief
"We have 140 or more appointees still waiting for confirmation for months and months and months, even on nominess that the Republicans ended up voting for," Axelrod said on "Fox News Sunday." "why bother with the constitutional responsibility of submitting for approval? We won"
Having nominees wait for months and months was never a problem when Dubya was president ...
He brushed off questions about concerns the administration would have had subjecting Berwick to congressional scrutiny, given Berwick's past statements about being "romantic" about the nationalized healthcare system in Britain and his 2009 statement that "the decision is not whether or not we will ration care -- the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open."
"It is very, very clear that this nomination was going to be one that was going to be dragged on and on and on," Axelrod said, adding that it was "vital" to fill the position and "move forward." "and that's why we didn't submit his nomination, even though Democrats control both houses."
Berwick also has certain financial issues that would have come up in confirmation hearings ...
"He is not coming to implement the British system," Axelrod said.
He's coming to implement the Cuban system ...
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said on Fox that "clearly" the White House was anticipating a big fight over Berwick, "but that's no reason not to put their nominee out in public to defend his positions."
"He is not the right man for the job," Kyl said. "Had his nomination come up during the healthcare debate, can you imagine the hue and cry that would have occurred?" fortunately he's out on his ass in January with the new Congress. Hopefully he won't do too much socialist damage before then.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
