President Barack Obama may have given further fuel to the fire for those campaigning to unseat him in 2012. During a press event at the White House Friday morning, the president told a room full of journalists that “the private sector is doing fine.”
This comes following 40 straight weeks of the unemployment rate over 8 percent.
On ABC’s “This Week” With George Stephanopoulos Sunday, discussion on the gaffe and a rough week for the president served as a starting point for a lively debate featuring Ann Coulter and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, coming at odds against Van Jones and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. Originally discussing how the insensitive comment may be used politically, Coulter shifted the conversation towards the public sector, and the president’s plans to look to growing the public sector as a means to get people back to work and the economy back on track.
When asked earlier on the program about the “fine” remark, the president’s Senior Campaign Advisor David Axelrod said “the American people are smarter than that,” and understood the context of the president’s remarks on our economy as “the storm clouds that are rolling in from Europe and elsewhere.” Axelrod went on to say that one of President Obama’s steps to promote job creation is adding jobs in the public sector:
And put the teachers and firefighters and police who have lost their jobs over the last — we have had 4.3 million private sector jobs created over the last 27 months, but we lost almost half a million public sector jobs, and most of them are teachers. Many of them are firefighters and police. And his argument was that we ought to move on this, Congress ought to move on this.

Van Jones .. oh, my .. well .. definitely well-programmed with the talking points indeed ..
(just pathetic really .. can easily predict what it is going to come out with and just tune it out)
Axelrod is not even as 'convincing' as Baghdad Bob was ...
(just another tool .. kind of funny to listen to the 'spin' .. but then again .. just another day another propagandist)
really .. both should just give it up already ..
and not even bother to appear anywhere at all ..
I was surprised to see Jones show up on anything FOX after the revaluations from Beck and the beat-down he's been given by Coulter, Malkin, Hannity and others.
But, just as Axelrod was bleeding desperation in his interview with Candy Crowley on CNN, Jones & Rendell were there to toss out the bullet points and aerosol canned talking points ... errr ... LIES.
