(The Blaze/AP) — David Axelrod. a senior political adviser to President Barack Obama, is charging that the Republicans seeking the presidency don't understand the American public's pent-up anger over corporate excesses.
Axelrod tells ABC's "This Week" that the American people "want a financial system that works on the level. They want to get a fair shake:"
He appeared Sunday, a day after scores of demonstrators protesting corporate business practices were arrested in New York's Times Square in a confrontation with police.
Axelrod faulted Republicans who have been pushing in Congress to soften or repeal the landmark legislation Obama pushed through last year, tightening regulation of business practices.
