Axelrod: Romney is only an ‘economic heavyweight’ in a fun house mirror

David Axelrod, President Barack Obama’s top campaign advisor, fired back at Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney Sunday morning for criticizing Obama’s cabinet over the rise in gas prices.

Axelrod was asked by Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer about Romney advocating for the firing of Energy Secretary David Chu, Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson, and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.

“I think it’s about nonsense,” he replied. “Mr. Romney will pander, and the poor American consumer will be left in the same position.”

Axelrod also addressed Romney calling himself an “economic heavyweight” on the campaign trail in Illinois.
