Did anyone see Axelrod duck and dodge on Meet the Press?

If anyone watched it ,did you notice that he never answered any of the tough questions put to him, he just dodged them all like most politicians do. I wish just for once we could get a honest answer out of one of them.

Update:

You are right, I was wrong about the politician , I was just making an comparision is all. And to the other person who said he did not duck or dodge, boy did we watch a different show..wow I can not believe that you actually can say that when he was asked about the provision saying that the Gov. was getting involved in overseeing what Doc's are doing for us and they would have to report to a certain Gov. committee...wow

Update 2:

Ok one more thing, Axelrod is now on Fox station..lol what a hoot, thought they would never go on Fox. And he dodged another one about the Freedom Doctrine..lol go figure.

    The point I heard Axelrod make . . was that not once in eight years did you hear Republicans complain about doubling the debt . . his point being that the Republicans are using the Stimulus bill to play politics . .not because they are concerned about the economy or spending or pork or any of those issues . . just politics. Axelrod was clear about that.

    As for the health care issue . . unless you have been confronted with catastrophic illness than you have no business criticizing this new plan. Doctors and the medical field in general is moving far too slowly into the age of the Internet. This is a field I am extremely familiar with and I can tell you for a fact that a cancer hospital like Dana Farber in Boston does not know what treatments for the same cancer that a hospital in California may be giving . . to the detriment and eventual death of the patient. Medical records and research needs to become nationally available . . at the moment the only procedure that works for the patient is online groups trading information, requiring their hospital and doctors to burn CD's of patient records and the patient carrying that record himself. There is so much wrong in the medical field that you would be shocked at the lack of relevant information . .you would be shocked at the amount of deaths due to misinformation and lack of doctors communicating with each other . . it is simply appalling. I don't expect you to even remotely understand. But Obama does understand because he lost both a mother and grandmother to cancer . . so he gets it . . he understands what needs to be done. And it will get done.

    Sad, but at least Robert Gibbs wasn't the one there. He not only ducks and dodges, but then says nonsensical things and makes ridiculous jokes to avoid answering questions.

  • Actually, Little Davy isn't a politician. No, his job is to market politicians.

    Like Deval Patrick, Gov. of the (not so) Great State of Massachusetts: "Together, We Can!" No kidding, that was the moron's message – and, it got him elected!

    Of course, Little Devey was just a trial run for Mr. Perfect: "Change We Can Believe In!" I tell, ya, guys like Axlerod should be run out of town on a rail – they treat us just like they treat housewives and their choice of laundry soap: "New & Improved!" Sure it is.

    It was refreshing to see honesty in government again, yes. I'm still trying to get used to it.
