Face the Nation 10/7

David Axelrod was a guest on yesterday's Face the Nation.

 

David Axelrod is an Obama campaign senior strategist. He spoke about the first presidential debate and the president's approach. Axelrod claims that the president entered the debate ready to answer questions on his policies whereas Governor Romney came to "deliver a performance".

"... He [Romney] said I want more teachers, I love teachers. It was just a few weeks ago when he stood on a platform and chastised the president for saying we needed more teachers. He said we don't need more teachers. We don't need more government..." stated Axelrod.

David Axelrod also spoke about the reasons why Obama did not mention the infamous 47 percent comment. The president did not feel the need to mention it because it has been talked about so much already. At the time, it would not have been appropriate to mention it.

In other news, the weekly job's report was released and it showed the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent.
