David Axelrod was in full B.J. Clinton mode, lying out his teeth, and every other conceivable body part.   For their part, ABC News was intent on giving lip service to to Obama campaign and not reporting, from Mediaite:

On Thursday, David Axelrod, senior adviser to President Barack Obama, took aim at Mitt Romney’s offshore bank accounts. Romney’s gotten flak over the issue before, but Axelrod doubled down on the criticism, deeming Romney “most secretive candidate that we’ve seen, frankly, since Richard Nixon.”

The remarks came in an interview with ABC News. “The only reason to have these accounts is to shelter your taxes,” he said.

By David Axelrod’s “If you don’t have anything to hide, why not just release the information?”-logic, President Obama’s invocation of executive privilege in an attempt to shield AG Eric Holder from being held in contempt of Congress and having to turn over thousands of Fast & Furious-related documents, must mean that something nefarious is going on there, right? What, exactly, are President Obama and the Justice Department so keen to hide?

Oh my God,  Mitt Romney uses tax shelters.

Mean while,  question for the “most transparent administration in history”, when did President Fifty Seven States, a/k/a Dumbo, a/k/a Dim Won, b/k/a Barack Obama first learn of Operation Fast & Furious, and what, if anything, did he do to stop it.
