President Obama’s top campaign adviser David Axelrod slammed Mitt Romney for recent comments on teachers, policemen and firefighters. "What planet is he living on where he thinks that we can take these kind of hits in our education system and progress as a country?" said Axelrod. He also denied ever giving Attorney General Eric Holder political advice. Asked about the president’s comments last week in which President Obama said the private sector was “doing fine,” Axelrod said "we need to accelerate job creation in the private sector."

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) continued his sharp criticism of President Obama on the national security leaks, saying that the president is responsible. McCain reiterated his calls for an outside investigation of the leaks. He says a probe by Attorney General Eric Holder would lack credibility.
