Mitt Romney's Core Scrutinized By David Axelrod, Who Asks, 'What Does He Believe?'
Top Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod told Politico's Mike Allen's on Monday morning that the Obama campaign will go after what Axelrod dubbed Mitt Romney's "penchant for secrecy."
Axelrod attacked Romney for refusing to release the names of his big money bundlers, offering only a few years' worth of tax returns rather than a decade's worth, and his Massachusetts gubenatorial staffers' taking computer hard drives with them after his single term ended in 2007.
The Obama campaign is also harping on Romney's comments in Florida on Sunday night at a closed-to-the-press fundraiser that a few reporters overheard through a fence abutting the private property housing the event. Romney was more specific about what exactly he would cut from the federal government to trim spending.
Said Axelrod: "Harkening back to my youth, which extends far beyond yours, there was a show called 'I've Got A Secret.' Increasingly, I think that would be the appropriate title for the Romney campaign. There are central issues, but this is a disturbing one and it goes to that question of like, Who is this guy? What does he stand for? What does he believe? What do we know about him?'"
