I love Axelrod's story about how Barack Obama made the mistake of running against Bobby Rush and losing. But if you didn't know Barack Obama's name before that race, you sure did after.

David Axelrod (and James Carville) deserves utmost respect for telling truth to power about Biden's vulnerabilities as a candidate for 2024.

David Axelrod comes across extremely arrogant on CNN. It is obvious he dislikes Biden and played a key role, along with Obama and Pelosi, to push him out. Axelrod has rarely ever said anything positive about Biden and even criticized him for the most minimal of things. Axelrod is very depressing to listen to. He’s extremely negative. Extremely negative! Everything is gloom and doom. He never provides any optimism in his analysis. It’s time for Axelrod to step aside and let younger, more energetic voices to emerge.
