It's really rude.

If I were VP Biden, I would smack Axelrod down like this:

"Look, David, I am not a child. I am the Vice President of the United States. I meant what I said, and I don't need you to explain to others what my words mean. So just apologize, retract your statement, and then STFU any time you have the inclination to believe that you know my intentions better than I do".
