Axelrod Whines to Huffpo

UPDATE: Racism rears its ugly head again. (from the Obama camp.) Rev. Pfleger video surfaces! (see below)
***
Wah, wah. The Chicago Way catches up with Obama campaign guru David Axelrod. Whines to Huffpo. Looks a little beleagured doesn't he.

(And lame justifications for Obama's foreign policy fiasco and his ducking a visit to Iraq--doesn't want to know we're winning.)

Perhaps Axelrod is worried that voters are figuring out John McCain has the bi-partisan record and track record of accomplishment, rather than Barack Obama who just talks big.

UPDATE: Quite a week for Barack--the Rezko verdict should come any time and a Rev. Pfleger video has surfaced--preaching at Obama and the Rev. Wright's church!! Another racist Obama spiritual mentor. HT Powerline:And lest you feel a teeny bit sorry for Hillary, a reminder. A Chris Muir lampoon. Another liberal blogger can't help but cover Michelle Obama. Somehow we don't have the same reaction she does. HT Michelle Malkin.

UPDATE. Obama "deeply disappointed", the Rev. Pfleger apologizes. ABC7. HotAir surfaces another offensive Pfleger video, where he defends the Rev. Wright, and Minister Farrakhan. More from The Swamp:

In a Tribune story a year ago, Obama defended special earmarks for his district in state budgets while he was a state legislator, including one that went to programs associated with Pfleger's church.

"It happens that there were major supporters in my district who had been supporters before they got member initiatives," Obama said then, noting that some of his contributors had been his allies for years.

Pfleger gave Obama's campaign $1,500 between 1995 and 2001, including $200 in April 2001, about three months after Obama announced $225,000 in grants to St. Sabina programs.

In that story, Pfleger said he made those donations personally, not on behalf of the church or to win grants. "At a time when less people vote than ever, I don't think pastors should be silent on politics," he said.
