Rahm strikes a nerve with David Axelrod

The recent speculation over whether Rahm Emanuel is splitting with the administration hasn't gone over well with David Axelrod.
“This is what Washington does — it gets itself into a tizzy,” White House senior adviser David Axelrod said, adding that the president’s team is determined to “stay tight.” “We dismiss it for what it is. There aren’t 10 people outside of Washington who give a rat’s ass about any of this. They’ve got bigger stuff to worry about, and we’re trying to worry about that. The same people who are all in a tizzy right now are the same people who called us idiots for the better part of two years.”
Except people outside Washington are concerned about this. Axelrod, who is one of the president's closest advisors, has been described as seeing the president as a political messiah. Two of the president's other three top dogs, Robert Gibbs and Valerie Jarrett, reportedly feel the same way. If the already-arrogant president is being advised by suck-ups who worship the ground he walks on, he can't be trusted to run the country.
Axelrod also said that Obama's administration is completely united, which we know is completely bogus. Emanuel has been trying to talk the president off his health care/KSM civilian trial suicide path for months now. Axelrod apparently still isn't listening.
