Until recently, Obama’s re-election team had mostly left tough attacks on the GOP field to the Democratic National Committee, state parties, and outside groups like ex-White House staffer Bill Burton’s Priorities USA. But as the campaign has ratcheted up its direct attacks in the last few weeks, Romney especially has come under fire.

David Axelrod raised eyebrows recently when he called out Romney as a flip-flopper in unusually strong terms, saying that the former governor “is as vehement and as strong in his convictions when he takes one position as he is when he takes the diametrically opposite position.”

“We’re not picking the nominee and we’re not assuming he’ll be the nominee,” Axelrod said in a conference call with reporters. “But he deserves to be scrutinized carefully because what he’s saying is stunningly inconsistent.”
