With Obama playing the part of the Titanic.

(The Hill) — Obama senior campaign adviser David Axelrod said Tuesday that the next presidential election would be a “titanic struggle.”

“We don’t have the wind at our backs this election,” Axelrod said according to the Boston Globe while speaking at Saint Anselm College’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics. “We have the wind in our face because the American people have the wind in their faces. This is going to be a titanic struggle.”

Axelrod added though that the elections won’t be a cakewalk for Republican presidential field either.

“It’s not going to be enough to simply point fingers of blame to try to lay on him responsibility for all America’s ills without offering prescriptions for how to solve them,” Axelrod said.
