Former Top Obama Advisor David Axelrod Shreds Biden, Says He's 'Not in Command'

David Axelrod: Things look 'out of control and he's not in command'

• The former presidential campaign manager for Barack Obama rips the current commander-in-chief, claiming that things are out of control.
• No one president can control inflation, but one can certainly exacerbate the problem with profligate spending.
• Biden's out-of-control layouts include mega-bills like the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and the American Rescue Plan.

The resulting inflation has come at a cost:

• 83% of U.S. households are cutting their personal spending and travel due to soaring inflation. These cutbacks are being driven almost entirely by energy costs, which have spiked nearly 35% in the past year.

Axelrod on the Polls

• 85% of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction
• President Trump's approval rating is at 38% and consumer confidence is at a 17-year low
• This is going to be a tough race for Democrats in November

The two also discussed the filibuster, with both acknowledging that although Biden has recently suggested pausing it for an abortion vote, he can’t actually make that happen.

• Axelrod has been critical in the past of the Biden Administration, but he seems to have really taken off the gloves in this interview. Does he have the Big O's blessing, as I asked earlier?
