Even in 1994 David Axlerod Was Bashing Bush and Mocking Golfing Presidents

This guy is a one-note samba:
Back in 1994, David Axelrod sounded like a really smart guy:


In 1994, Democrats faced a similar challenge, and a C-SPAN roundtable mulled the issue.
One of its members, Democratic consultant David Axelrod, sounded then a bit like the Clintonites do today.

"One of the interesting things about this is that as you cite these statistics that say the economy is improving, you almost do political damage to yourself. If you stand up and claim great progress you're only frustrating this alienated middle class more," Axelrod said.

The moderator, John Callaway, noted that Ronald Reagan had been able to talk up the economy in 1984, while George H. W. Bush had been unable to in 1992.

"Bush tastelessly did it often from the ninth hole and from the cigar boat and other places. And the impression you got was that he was out of touch," Axelrod said.

"You still like to beat up on Bush?" Callaway asked.

"It's the only thing we have left," Axelrod responded.
It's the only thing he's got today, except that the blast against golfing presidents trying to happy talk the economy isn't hitting a President Bush this time, it's hitting his boss, President Obama.

It seems like every day something pops up that undermines Obama's campaign, and those things are coming from Democrats.
