Debbie Wasserman Schultz: ‘We own the economy’

By: Molly Ball June 15, 2011 11:35 AM EDT

Democrats are ready to take responsibility for the state of the economy and they deserve credit for putting it on the right track, the party’s chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, said on Wednesday.

“We own the economy. We own the beginning of the turnaround and we want to make sure that we continue that pace of recovery, not go back to the policies of the past under the Bush administration that put us in the ditch in the first place,” Wasserman Schultz told Mike Allen at a breakfast hosted by POLITICO’s Playbook.

The economy, she said, “has turned around” since President Obama took office, with steady job growth evident even if the pace leaves something to be desired.

Republicans have ridiculed Democrats’ claims of economic success in the wake of disappointing jobs numbers and an uptick in the unemployment rate.

Wasserman Schultz said Democrats aren’t in need of a new story to tell about the economy because they’ve put the right policies in place. “I don’t think it’s about what we say, it’s about what we do.”

She said Democrats’ actions demonstrate their commitment to the middle class while Republicans’ do not. Though she commended several individual Republicans by name — including her home state colleague, Rep. Daniel Webster — Wasserman Schultz said the party’s leadership in the house is beholden to an extreme faction.

What she meant was they own the MEDIA. Therefore whatever message they want broadcast, even if it is an outright lie, is what the people will hear.

The big question is how many people will believe we are “on the right track?”

I suspect most people will realize we are on that bridge to nowhere that was never completed.

I swear! Every time I see a picture of this woman, there’s a squirrel acting nonchalant in the background, getting ready to pounce on her and drag her into a tree.

LOL out loud!

I’m beginning to believe that it was the Republican leadership that appointed her to her current position of chair of the Democratic party. Who would want this idiot as they’re spokesperson? Thanks DNC, you make it so much easier for conservatives to win. Please keep putting her out there to speak on the economy.

Your Post is right on. I don’t see how even the GOP can screw up the advantage this woman gives us,but they probably will.

She is dumber than a bag of rocks.

I just saw your tag line on another thread and thought “what the heck is he talking about? Even DWS wouldn’t be so stupid as to say something like that.”

Never underestimate the delusion and ignorance of a liberal.

They *WANT* to own an economy with double digit unemployment, milions of houses upside down and gas prices over $4 a gallon???

To borrow a phrase, when your enemy is making a mistake, let them.

Best. Ever!!!
