ObamaCare & The We Don't Give a Flying F--- Administration

Axelrod's F-Bomb [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

The New York Times gives us a glimpse into David Axelrod's mood, which confirms exactly what the president tends to exude when talking about critics:

In an interview in his office, Mr. Axelrod was often defiant, saying he did not give a “flying” expletive “about what the peanut gallery thinks” and did not live for the approval “of the political community.” He denounced the “rampant lack of responsibility” of people in Washington who refuse to solve problems, and cited the difficulty of trying to communicate through what he calls “the dirty filter” of a city suffused with the “every day is Election Day sort of mentality.”

Unfortunately for the White House, these days "the peanut gallery" critics more often than not are reflecting what many Americans outside the Beltway are saying. And that's not just an Election Day concern for those in the White House. Their jobs there entail representing those who sent them to Washington in the first place.
