His comments on how \u201cpoor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids\u201d during an event sponsored by the Asian &amp; Latino Coalition PAC came off as condescending, and wasn&#8217;t helped by his \u201cWealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids,\u201d he said. \u201cNo, I really mean it, but think how we think about it\u201d follow up.<br \/>\nEarlier, he referred to shootings in Houston and Michigan instead of El Paso and Dayton, and at the end of the debate just a few weeks ago, he inexplicably told supporters to \u201cgo to Joe 30330.\u201d<br \/>\nThings are serious when a former Obama advisor like David Axelrod critiques Biden&#8217;s campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>by Mike LaChance <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>David Axelrod was a central figure in Obama\u2019s 2008 presidential campaign and worked in the administration as well. For him to be criticizing Biden is, as the former Vice President might say, a big f-ing deal.<\/p>\n<p>This serves as proof that the perception of Biden as a bumbling fool is not just a right wing talking point.  <\/p>\n<p>Former Obama Adviser: Biden &#8216;Serially\u2019 Distorts Own Record<\/p>\n<p>Former Obama White House adviser David Axelrod said in a tweet Thursday that Joe Biden was distorting his own record to a damaging degree.<\/p>\n<p>Linking to a Slate article about Biden\u2019s misleading remarks about when he began opposing the Iraq War, Axelrod wrote Biden was \u201cin danger\u201d of creating a harmful meme about his candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to have a well-earned rep for goofy, harmless gaffes,\u201d Axelrod tweeted. \u201cIt\u2019s another if you serially distort your own record. @JoeBiden is in danger of creating a more damaging meme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is not an isolated incident. Axelrod went after Biden following the last Democratic debate, saying he seemed confused and defensive.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph A. Wulfsohn reported at FOX News:<\/p>\n<p>David Axelrod says Biden seemed \u2018confused\u2019 at debate, seemed \u2018part of the past\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Former Obama advisor David Axelrod ripped former Vice President Joe Biden for his debate peformance on Thursday night, saying he appeared \u201cconfused\u201d and \u201cdefensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a CNN panel following the second Democratic debate, Axelrod began by expressing it was a \u201ctougher night\u201d for the \u201cseasoned candidates\u201d on the stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey seemed like part of the past rather than the future,\u201d Axelrod explained.<\/p>\n<p>The ex-White House official then took aim at Biden as well as Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt times, the vice president seemed somewhat confused to me in handling some of the questions\u2026 He actually seemed a bit defensive,\u201d Axelrod continued. \u201cBernie Sanders\u2026 he might have been a hologram. A lot of what we\u2019ve heard tonight we\u2019ve heard many, many times before.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ouch. By criticizing both Biden and Sanders, and Obama silent on endorsing any candidate to date, it seems the Power Dems are backing Warren.
