I don't know how many of you all watch Fox News Sunday but it is the one news/commentary show that I watch religiously (no pun intended).  This past Sunday anchor Chris Wallace interviewed David Axelrod, The Pharaoh's former Senior White House Advisor and his current Communications Director for the 2012 campaign, and I nearly fell off the couch and spilled my coffee when I heard this exchange at the end of the interview...read it very carefully:

Quote
...
WALLACE: And that is, David, if I may, I wanted to ask you in the final question I have. In one paragraph, two or three sentences, what's the choice in this election?
 
AXELROD: The choice in this election is between economy that produces a growing middle class and that gives people a chance to get ahead and their kids a chance to get ahead, and an economy that continues down the road we are on, where a fewer and fewer number of people do very well, and everybody else is running faster and faster just to keep pace.
 
We need to take that first route that honors our fundamental economic values, the values that made this country great. And we need to do some things to promote that kind of economy. We can't sit back and go back to the same failed policies that were so disastrous in the last decade.

 
WALLACE: All right. We're going to have to leave it there. David, thank you so much for joining us.
 
AXELROD: OK. Good to be with you.
...

I heard that said by David Axelrod precisely as it is typed in this excerpt from the transcript of the Fox News Sunday interview.

If I worked for the Romney campaign that would be my commercial right there.
