Dolphins smarter than chimps
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama's chief campaign strategist Sunday slammed Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, saying he lacks a political core.
David Axelrod, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," said the former Massachusetts governor's alleged flip-flopping on issues is an effort "to erase the past."
"That what you said before, doesn't matter now. And so yes, when it comes to his public character, he doesn't have a core," Axelrod said.
"It has nothing to do with his personal life. I honor his personal life, I respect his personal life. But this is about how you behave in the public arena.
"And he seems to think that every day is a new day that he can simply change all of his positions, depending on what -- who his audience is or what the political circumstance is."
The issue the president's campaign will focus on against any eventual GOP candidate would be the economy, he said.
"We have legitimate differences with the Republican Party. Mostly about how we rebuild an economy that works for the middle class in this country," Axelrod said. "We're going to have a big debate about that. And yes, we're going to challenge them when we think they are wrong."
