David Axelrod has written Gene Sperling off as a political lightweight lacking the tonnage to have intimidated Bob Woodward in their dust-up over the sequester.

Haldeman as a young man, feels intimidated by Gene Sperling?” You really have to hear the sneer in Axelrod’s voice as he pronounces the name “Gene Sperling” to appreciate just how far under the bus Axelrod was willing to throw a fellow member of Team Obama.
