Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 07/02/2009 Pelosi Statement on June Job Numbers

Washington, D.C. -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on unemployment numbers for June issued today by the Department of Labor.

“Today’s unemployment numbers are another reminder of the years of failure to invest in making Americans the most highly educated and innovative workforce in the world—and years of delay on affordable health care and the clean energy jobs and industries that will sustain our economy for years to come. In full partnership with President Obama, Congress must continue to strengthen and transform America’s economic foundation and improve our competitiveness, and we must do so in a fiscally responsible way.

“We took the first critical step by passing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act earlier this year. Economists tell us unemployment numbers would be worse without the Recovery Act, but that is no consolation for the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs. Last week, the House passed a comprehensive energy solution that will create millions of clean energy jobs, and we will reform our health care system to lower costs for America’s families and businesses.

“This is a time for bold, bipartisan action because Americans who are losing their jobs, homes and health care cannot afford to wait.”

Bush unemployment was all those failed years under 6%.

Pelosi thinks you are as stupid as that orangutan hanging on the door of the hut sweet hut in Kenya.

Translation: WE NEED TO CREATE JOBS!

....on affordable health care and the clean energy jobs and industries that will sustain our economy for years to come.

Translation: WE NEED TO DESTROY JOBS!

Health care mandates will ruin many small businesses.
The cap and tax bill, if passed by the senate, will ruin many small and mid sized businesses, and many large businesses will move more operations oversees.

Of course, Madam Speaker will never reality get in the way of a socialist agenda...

Nancy, Democrats have been in charge of Congress since 2006. “It’s Bush’s fault” doesn’t fly any more.

Isn’t this woman and the other two stooges, Boxer and Feinstein, from that bankrupt backwater on the left coast? Who would take advice from that citadel of ignorance?

“This is a time for holding our failed leaders responsible and insisting that (as per other cultures) they either resign or alternatievely do the “honorable” thing.”

Fixed it for SanFranNan.

“This is a time for bold, bipartisan action because Americans who are losing their jobs, homes and health care cannot afford to wait. roping the Republicans into this change makes us look less stupid.”

Ms. Pelosi, during the first year of the GWB first term, would say this after every employment report: “Where are the jobs, Mr. President.”

Now she is STILL blaming Mr. Bush.

I’ll bet this woman has a lot of turnover on her staff.
