The Con Man Lyeth

Ace of Spades HQ: "This is what Obama's former chief strategist David Axelrod meant when he wrote about the president's desire to have so-called "Bulworth moments" after being reelected in his new book. Translated into political terms, it means pushing his party to be more outspoken on sensitive issues, even when they may not be comfortable doing so. Challenging Israel was one of the president's top second term priorities, according to Axelrod. The worsening relationship between this administration and Israel was as much the president's preconceived plan as the result of a protocol breach.

This nugget was actually disclosed by Axelrod in his new book, as reported by Jake Tapper.

So that's where we are. We have an Oval Office occupied by a cheap hustler and con man who's now eager to tell us how he lied to us all."
