3. I didn't see it all but..
Alexrod was explaining what the President walked into when he took office and Scar kept trying to compare it to the Clinton years.

Alexrod explained how the republiCONS shut the government down 2 times with Newt Gingrich among other things because Scar was trying to brag about what things they got done in those years he was in the congress and Alexrod also said Scar voted to impeach Clinton.

4. Joe whipped out the bullshit line that Obama was "not ready" to be
President like Palin and Cain before Axelrod came on.

Axelrod gave him a 3-minutes dressing down on his time.

5. Joe keeps pushing the meme that Obama has been ineffective during his term
Axelrod pointed out that Obama has gotten plenty of stuff done. It just wasn't the things Joe wanted done. Axelrod told Joe to ask bin Laden how ineffective the president has been.

That shut even Joe up and made his face turn beet red because he knew he was just exposed as being a full of shit fool on live TV.

6. I think Axelrod was loaded for bear
Alot of mornings I catch a few minutes of the show while I'm getting ready for work. Apparently last nite, both Mika and Joe were at a benefit that Axelrod and his wife were hosting for a charity they are involved in.

There was a comment supposedly made by Joe last nite that Axelrod just left alone because he didn't want to take away from his wife's cause. Axelrod knew he was going to on today.

7. Quick rundown.
Since mid 09 Scarborough has been on an unrelenting questioning of the President capacity to be to actually be the President, that's pretty common knowledge. Yesterday however, Axelrod and his wife were on Morning Joe to talk about their campaign to fight epilepsy. David was in the green room yesterday when Joe went off on another tirade against the President and Axelrod had to pretty much side step it as it would have eclipsed the entire point of their appearance yesterday.

So Axelrod came back today for a another conversation that did not revolve around epilepsy.

Axe called out to Joe to his face for his "carpet bombing" reminding Joe of sinking ship the former President left for the current administration, that the President had to make several unpopular choices but made them because they were needed to be done (speaking to the bailouts)

Mika asked Axe why the President could get his agenda passed and Axe stuck it to the current congress as being more interested in harming the country as it suits their political strategy.

Axe closed by asking Joe what Osama Bin Laden thought about president Obama's leadership.
