You can't go wrong with Axelrod, as he has proven during the campaign. His intellegence is beyond measure. Go Obama Team Go!!!
Alexrod was three steps ahead of Rove during this election process. The guy is a genius!
What a brilliant man.
He is full of win. Good choice!
Another great choice for President Elect Obama. Axelrod deserves this. He did an outstanding job with Obama's campaign. Axelrod is brilliant. I'm very pleased with this.
That is great and I know he will be a great man on the team. Keep the people who was faithful to you during the campaign trail.
Well Dah!!! I think it would be a smart choice i wonder what David Plouffe is going to do and some of the other folks...I like sharp smart people
To Art Hall: You have to understand that if the Black Civil Rights organizations had gotten involved, it might have cost Barack the election by emphasising his blackness over his QUALIFICATIONS. I much prefer a QUALIFIED president who is black, than a BLACK who is president.
I hope you understand what I am saying. The term black, hispanic, gay, asian should always be in lower case. It is the ISSUES and the HEART and SOUL that matters.
Great call, not taking a break are you Pres Elect Obama? Love the transistion website!!!!
Wow, what a good pick. It's obvious that President Obama means what he says about a new way of governing. With people like Colin Powell,T Boone Pickens and L Ron Hubbard etc in the background offering advice how can we go wrong? It will take a long time to clean up the mess but it will be worth the wait.
New office: Propoganda Secretary
WHAT DO HATERS DO...HATE....SO YOU HATERS. DO YOUR JOB WELL, JUST LIKE OBAMA IS GOING TO BE THE BEST PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES!!!
HI HATER...HI HATER....HI HATER....DON'T HATE APPRECIATE!!!! LOL
Wonderful. After watching that well-oiled campaign machine, i trust he will be a GREAT adviser.
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.
Axelrod's first order of business, to make sure Acorn is better funded for the fraudaulent get out the vote campaign for 2012.
Dow is down, time to buy.
Change is coming....
These two together are UNSTOPPABLE!!!
He's a devious man. He played the race card about 1000 times against Clinton and McCain.
great choice .awesome strategist! makes rove look like a criminal punk!
It shall be well with the Obama Administration...
Axelrod's third order of business, tell the world yes we can destroy the American way from within, by moving away from free enterprise capitalism and towards their idol's ideology, Mr. Putin of Russia. Soon we will have pictures of Obama in all town squares and we will have to pray to the great Obama every morning just like we were in North Korea. I will move to North Korea before I worship this phoney empty suit magic man Obama.
I dont care who he picks as long as they pull America out of this MESS. In the next few days, he needs to SWIFTLY, AGGRESSIVELY and CAUTIOUSLY move to FIGHT THIS FINANCIAL GODZILLA, tearing our economy apart.
He needs to be decisive and hit the ground running.... I want Obama to focus on getting the job done to save America and everything will fall in place, not to listen to us WHINE.
Beautifully Picked!!! Now thats the change we can beleive in. Congratulations to the both of you -President Obama and Senior advisor to the President Mr. Axelrod. Next is David Plouffe. Nice very Nice.
For all the people that disagree with Obama, and call us racist if we disagree even though blacks were the racist when they voted 99% for one candidate because he is half white, it is no being Haters, it is being lovers of traditional American capitalism and the great way of life it has provided millions of us over many generations and worrying that we will lose our freedom to enjoy capitalism, as we will HATE it if it is taken away by an ideologically left Marxist and his team of Marxists.
hes the man
