Obama's Windmills

Would Obama and David Axelrod get their stories straight about who is the Republican Party leader? Just a mere three months ago they were crowing that Rush Limbaugh was the head of the Republicans and leading the party to the right. Many voters , rightfully so, concluded otherwise that the Republicans of late have been without a cohesive leadership or singular leader as of yet.

David Axelrod is a senior adviser in the White House. His title does little to capture his full importance to President Obama. His voice, and political advice, carries more weight than most anyone else's on the president's payroll.

The circle around Mr. Obama has grown exponentially since he arrived in the White House. An army of new assistants, deputies and advisers surrounds him, but it is Mr. Axelrod who sits the closest to the Oval Office. His proximity is a symbol of how close he remains to Mr. Obama. He was Mr. Obama's top campaign strategist in the 2008 elections.

The phrase in the novel Don Quixote "tilting at windmills" described an act of attacking imaginary enemies. That said, the White House and David Axelrod have appointed Rush Limbaugh as their windmill to attack. As they concluded, "Rush is the man, the head of the Republican Party!".

Rush Limbaugh was interviewed by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, 10/1/2009 describing a very young and inexperienced Obama as a leader who is not up for the job while destroying the country and our liberties. Now, quite laughably, the same David Axelrod on another Sunday morning news interview retorted that, "Limbaugh is just an entertainer!". What happened to "Head of the Republican Party"? Hmmn........... Maybe Barrack and David have changed their strategy yet again to suit the moment?
