David Axelrod is spinning through his teeth. He and Gene Sperling as spokespersons do much harm.

I had to walk into the other room when Axelrod on Rachel's show was starting his little routine. Who in the world does he think he is fooling? Does he really think we are that stupid to fall for such a political framing?

Gene Sperling is another spokesperson who is so poor at messaging that it is sickening. He sounds so insincere.

Why is the president allowing such people to speak for him?

3. Gene Sperling

When Obama named Gene Sperling the chair of his National Economic Council, there was concern that the man was too entrenched with big corporations to be impartial. Sperling was able to argue that he worked only part-time for Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs. Still, this consulting working netted him over $1 million annually.

Interestingly, Wall Street and other parties involved merely laughed off the criticism. Their argument was that Sperling had only been paid $1 million, which was hardly a high enough amount to taint him. Perhaps the fact that that they consider that amount chump change is a large part of the problem.
