TAPPER: But you’re asking the Chamber to prove a negative. “Prove that you’re not doing such and such accusation.”

AXELROD: It’s not proving a negative, Jake, because all you have to do to clear up the questions is reveal who your donors are from. The question back to them is why don’t they want to reveal where their money is coming from? I think the answer is, I think if the American people knew where their money was coming from they’d be a lot less apt to listen to the advertising, to read the mail, to respond to the kind of negative campaigns that the Chamber and some of these other organizations are underwriting.

Tapper undoubtably angered the progressive liberal Democrats today. Some of which will probably start calling him a birther after this question:

TAPPER: Isn’t that like the whackjobs that tell the president he needs to show them his full long-form birth certificate so he can put to rest the questions that have been raised?

AXELROD: The president’s birth certificate has been available to people.

TAPPER: The long form?

AXELROD: Someone once in the course of this debate about whether we should have a law to force these organizations to disclose where they’re money is coming from in the campaigns, someone said, and I think they’re right – “the only people who want to keep things secret are folks who have something to hide.” If the Chamber doesn’t have anything to hide about these contributions, and I take them at their word that they don’t, then why not disclose? Why not let people see where their money is coming from?

“No administration has been tougher on enforcement,” Axelrod said on “Fox News Sunday.” “We have more manpower there than ever before- more equipment drones, helicopters, airplanes. We’re doing this in a smart, more efficient way and we’re producing better results.”

Host Chris Wallace then said “there were some facts and figures that contradict what” Axelrod had said. However, when interviewing Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz) moments later on the same show, Wallace took a different tack. “The fact is that the Obama White House does have a story to tell…Hasn’t this president improved border security?” the Fox host said to Kyl.

“There have been improvements,” Kyl conceded. “There have been additional people sent to the border. Nobody would deny that. There is a federal government effort going on here but it’s not enough.…The fact that you’ve done more doesn’t mean that you’ve done enough.”

“The one thing I am sure of is that the American people don’t know or care much about the sequencing of parliamentary procedures. They want an up or down vote after a year-long debate to bring this to a close.”

Isn’t it nice to have David Axelrod speak for you? This should now make Obama and Congress’s. And don’t be surprised if Biden overrules the Senate parliamentarian, which unfortunately is a power the Vice President has.

The sources said Franken was the most outspoken senator in the meeting, which followed President Barack Obama’s question-and-answer session with Senate Democrats at the Newseum on Wednesday. But they also said the Minnesotan wasn’t the only angry Democrat in the room.

“There was a lot of frustration in there,” said a Democratic senator who declined to be identified.

“People were hot,” another Democratic senator said.

Democratic senators are frustrated that the White House hasn’t done more to win over the public on health care reform and other aspects of its ambitious agenda — and angry that, in the wake of Scott Brown’s win in the Massachusetts Senate race, the White House hasn’t done more to chart a course for getting a health care bill to the president’s desk.

In his public session with the senators Wednesday, Obama urged them to “finish the job” on health care but did not lay out a path for doing so. That uncertainty appeared to trigger Franken’s anger, and the sources in the room said he laid out his concerns much more directly than any senator did in the earlier public session.

The private session was set up in a panel format, with Axelrod joined at the front of the room by Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine and Democratic strategist Paul Begala.

A Democratic source said that Franken directed his criticism solely at Axelrod.

“Hugo Chavez shouldn’t be playing in American politics”

The irony of Axelrod’s state is beyond amazing. Of course, when asked about Obama’s attack on the Supreme Court during the State of the Union, Axelrod completely dodged the question.

“The president has said repeatedly, and he said in his speech to Congress, that he doesn’t believe that this bill should change the status quo as it relates to the issue of abortion,” Axelrod said today on CNN’s State of the Union program.

“This shouldn’t be a debate about abortion. And he’s going to work with Senate and the House to try and ensure that at the end of the day, the status quo is not changed,” he added. “I believe that there are discussions ongoing to how to adjust it accordingly.”

Axelrod said that an agreement with ruling Democrats in Congress to remove the ban on taxpayer funding of abortions “can and will be worked through before it reaches his desk.”

“They’re not really a news station,” “It’s really not news, it’s pushing a point of view.”

So Fox pushes a point of view. Good thing that NPR, CSPAN, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC are out there. ….so many choices yet no one watches them. And they surely don’t push any sort of “point of view” do they? Maybe Axelrod is simpy pissed that the people ate Fox News aren’t fans of Mao Tse-Tung like White House communications direction Anita Dunn?

Could there have been an unspoken/unofficial effort by the Democrat party asking its elected members to forward all constituent correspondence on health care to a centralized DC location….like, say, the “flag” snitch address? Perhaps that’s how these email lists were compiled.

Two callers in particular supported this theory. One gentleman told me he’d emailed Rep. Melissa Bean (D-Ill.) to register opposition to the House health care bill. He received an email response from Bean’s office the next day (entirely appropriate), followed by the Axelrod email a few days later. Another caller said she’d contacted Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D-Mich.) office for a similar reason. She, too, heard first from Stabenow’s staff, then from Axelrod. Again, neither caller had ever been in touch with the White House.

The suggestion I raised above merits further scrutiny. Could the aforementioned “outside groups” include the political offices of elected Democrats? It stands to reason: If the White House set up a (now defunct) email account asking average Americans to inform on one another regarding health care “misinformation,” wouldn’t constituent correspondence sent directly to elected representatives serve as a natural gold mine for culling opponents’ arguments against the president’s plan? One wonders if certain Democratic members chose to pass along this information on their own initiative, or if they were responding to encouragement (read: following orders) from the White House to do so.

The company, Govdelivery, describes itself as the world’s leading provider of government-to-citizen communication solutions and says its e-mail service provides a fully-automated on-demand public communication system.

It is still unknown how much taxpayer money the White House provides to Govdelivery for its services.

The revelation comes after the White House acknowledged this week that people were receiving unsolicited e-mails from the administration about health care reform and suggested the problem was with third-party groups that placed the recipients’ names on the distribution list.

Republicans quickly pounced on the news.

“This is yet another ominous chapter in the administration’s rabid campaign to jam its radical health care scheme onto an unwilling public by any means necessary,” Rep. Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan said in a statement.

Govdelivery sent hundreds of e-mails from senior adviser David Axelrod asking supporters to help rebut criticism of Obama’s health care plan circulating on the Internet. It also sent e-mails highlighting Obama’s speech to the Muslim world in Cairo and the announcement of Sonia Sotomayor as a Supreme Court nominee.

Several FOX News viewers complained they received these e-mails even though they had never requested any communication from the White House.

“The White House e-mail list is made up of e-mail addresses obtained solely through the White House Web site. The White House doesn’t purchase, upload or merge from any other list, again, all e-mails come from the White House Web site as we have no interest in e-mailing anyone who does not want to receive an e-mail,” the statement said. “If an individual received the e-mail because someone else or a group signed them up or forwarded the e-mail, we hope they were not too inconvenienced.”

Sorry Shapiro/Hussein/Gibbs. This doesn’t cut it. You still got some spalin’ to do.

Watch Major Garrett own the worst press secretary in history Robert Gibbs today on this. Eventually Gibbs idiot can’t uhh and ummm his way out of it, he cuts off Garrett and goes to someone else:

When Axelrod was asked if he had weighed in on the Obama family’s dog choice, “the Rasputin in this kingdom” (as Sagal jokingly refered to him) sassed back, “I was only called in for the final three, and one was Miss California.”

I suppose Mr. Universe Axelrod prefers Michelle Obama’s bare arms instead.
