Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 11/24/2008 Pelosi: Talented Obama Economic Team Will Help Lead Our Nation During Serious Economic Crisis

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President-elect Obama’s announcement of his economic team:

“President-elect Barack Obama has assembled an exceptionally talented and diverse economic team to help him lead our nation during the most serious economic crisis in generations. Congress stands ready to work with the new President on his bold plan to restore confidence to our economy, create and save 2.5 million good-paying jobs here at home, and make us more competitive in the 21st century global economy.

“Having crafted recovery proposals that have been debated and passed the House, Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey is already working to draft legislation that will help create new jobs by investing in a cleaner energy future, build a high-tech infrastructure that brings the power of renewable energy and broadband to communities across America, rebuild our bridges and modernize our schools. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel is working with the new Administration on a tax cut proposal that will make the tax code more fair for the middle class. We will work with the President-elect and his team so that 111th Congress can immediately act upon this New Direction for our economy.

“But Americans cannot wait until January for concrete action to restore our economic strength, which is why Democrats again urge President Bush and Senate Republicans to work with us to enact the economic recovery package the House passed in September. Enacting this legislation would provide a down payment on new job-creating infrastructure investments, help states avoid deep cuts to health care and other essential services, and provide nutrition assistance to struggling families.

“President Bush and Treasury Secretary Paulson can also strengthen our economy immediately by acting on FDIC Chair Sheila Bair’s plan to help as many as 2 million Americans avoid foreclosure. Helping Americans avoid foreclosure is at the heart of solving our economic crisis, and will help millions of families and communities around the nation.

“In this time of economic crisis, bipartisan action is not only in order, it is essential. I urge President Bush to use his remaining days in office to work cooperatively with Congress and President-elect Obama to stabilize the economy, help struggling families, and prepare us for economic recovery in the new year.”

talented and diverse economic team

Chicagoland gangsters and Clintonistas---what's so diverse about that?

Still, best laugh I've had all day.

Enacting this legislation would provide a down payment on new job-creating infrastructure investments...

Just what I figured the Dems would come up with...new ways to spend my money on the unproductive sectors of the economy. Terrific. Just look at the "I-don't-have-a-clue-what-I'm-saying" politico-speak in just that one sentence. Pelosi is about the last person on the planet who is qualified to judge any economic plan...or any other thing pertaining to economics.

Brainiac Nancy is all for bipartisanship now, this woman is a nutcase.

The top economic people in the Obama Regime are "proteges of Robert Rubin, who was Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration." Where is Rubin now? He is former Chairman and currently Special Adviser to Citigroup.

And what is the status of Citigroup today? It is undergoing its second multimillion dollar bailout. The whiz kid who was the guru to the Obama team is in charge of the world's largest buggy whip factory.

And this is supposed to restore confidence? Hellooo?

That’s what she said 4yrs ago when she asked America to vote Dems to power.

Failed Speaker, fails to lead.

How much talent can it take to wastefully spend billions of dollars extorted from hard-working taxpayers in order to buy votes from America’s losers?

Hell, it’s so easy they even managed to teach the Republicans how to do it!

Obama’s “talented” economic team will prolong the crisis for the greater empowerment of Democrat party.

You’re absolutely correct. I keep wondering why the Prez of Harvard didn’t want Cindy Romer. Who could ever forget Melody Barnes’ background too? Shudder!
