President Barack Obama’s political maven David Axelrod told us something we really didn’t need to know about Barack Obama:
“I’ve known him for 20 years… I’ve never seen him more exhilarated than he is right now,” he told reporters traveling with the president in Ohio today. “He believes in what he’s doing. He believes in what he’s fighting for.”
“You can see in the speech he’s delivering… that this is coming from his loins,” he said, adding, “I just wanted to say ‘loins.’ I wanted to see if I could get ‘loins’ in the story.”
Actually, some voters think Obama’s and Mitt Romney’s closing arguments are coming from a part of their bodies a little lower than their loins.
