Video from 1994 has surfaced of David Axelrod, President Obama’s chief campaign strategist, calling former President George H.W. Bush “out of touch” for “tastelessly” playing golf while trying to convince voters that the economy is improving.
“Bush tastelessly did it, often from the ninth hole, and from the cigar boat and other places,” Axelrod said.
Added the adviser: “The impression you got was that he was out of touch.”
Throughout his presidency, Obama has been known to hit the links nearly every week.
Axelrod explained in the 1994 interview that if “you cite these statistics that say the economy is improving, you almost do political damage to yourself.”
“If you stand up and claim great progress, you are only frustrating this alienated middle class more,” he said.

Axelrod .. hmm ..
it is self-evident where the hypocrisy lies ..
how come you're not calling out the sitting 'body politic' for same commentary indeed?
Gee .. coincidence Axelrod?
(seems pretty deliberate to me you're ignoring what is right in front of your face) ..
Second, the President does not play golf every weekend, and doesn't play half as many rounds as John Boehner does.
Third, the economy wasn't improving in 1994. It was still suffering the effects of Reagan, and President Clinton had only begun to rebuild our economy at that point.
Fourth, President Obama actually DOES care about the middle class, while the conservatives continue to wage war against anyone who actually works for a living.
But, if you have to go back 18 years to find the daily slander, I guess that's a good sign.
