David Axelrod, chief campaign strategist for President Barack Obama, said today that the Chicago-based operation is preparing to roll out an "extensive" advertising blitz this week defending the president's first-term record.

"And in this coming week, you'll see us unveil an advertising campaign, an extensive advertising campaign, that is very much about where we were and where we've come and the things that we've accomplished," Axelrod said on ABC's "This Week," before rattling off parts of the president's record that the campaign will tout.

Among the issues Axelrod highlighted: "the revitalization of the auto industry, the distance we've traveled from when we were losing 800,000 jobs a month, the fact that we're safer today because bin Laden is gone, that the war in Iraq is over and many other things that we're proud of and that speak to the progress that we've made since this president was elected."

2. I have to commend the Democratic Campaign

They're calling the shots, controlling the message and disciplined right out of the gate. The Republicans, for once, are eating Democratic dust.

I hope this chaps Rove's ass to the point of great weeping blisters.
