Speaking to a crowd of New Hampshire politicians and business leaders on Tuesday morning, President Obama’s chief political advisor offered a blunt assessment of the road ahead for the president. According to the Huffington Post, Axelrod conceded that the president is facing a “Titanic struggle,” and that he doesn’t have the wind at his back.
Axelrod wasn’t too upset to avoid taking a poke at the GOP field, however, noting that their plans to fix the economy are the same plans that led to the economic downturn in the first place.
