Oh, dear. White House senior adviser David Plouffe is making the rounds on almost all of the Sunday shows. He frantically tries to spin Obama’s ‘Occupy Open Borders’ plan, leaks and economic plans (or lack thereof.)
On @MeetThePress WH Adv. David Plouffe denies politics behind Obama's immigration decision. "Wasn't about politics"

Alas, no one is buying what Plouffe is trying to sell.
Plouffe unable to offer any new ideas for fixing economy on SOTU & FNS. Maybe he will come up with some for MTP. Stay tuned.

Opposite day! RT @Markhalperin: @meetthepress Plouffe on immigration decision, "There was NO politics…well within our boundaries to do."

Hope! Change! RT @ellencarmichael: RT @rorycooper: Wallace: "It's clear you have no new agenda." Plouffe: "Look at the other side…" #FNS

Plouffe on CNN would not say why Obama's DHS waited til Fri to end deportations of illegal student immgrnts. Candy asked if it was politics.

Looking forward to @meethepress podcast. Not sure how Plouffe makes the case that Obama immigration policy wasn't political. #whoyakiddin

lol “@jimacostacnn: Plouffe on CNN's SOTU on immigration: "This is not a political move."”

Oh, our aching sides! Everyone with even just half a brain knows this was purely political: It was a power grab and an attempted vote grab, plain and simple.
David Plouffe tells @davidgregory Obama immigration announcement. "not political". Just hand him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar now.

Some are also wondering why Plouffe?

Watching Chris Wallace interview David Plouffe is painful. Never seen such defensive body language from Plouffe. #tcot #rs #looksguilty

Nice try, Team Obama. But, a total fail once again.
