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.

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!! Best reply on this thread so far!

The best thing the Republicans have going for them is Debbie Blabbermouth Schulz. What a scraggly-haired ding-bat!

If what she really means is "We (dems) are responsible for this economy"... then OK.

Does she ever wash that hair? Every photo I’ve seen of this deranged woman’s hair looks like it has 3 years of oil buildup.

She changes her oil every 6 months or 20,000 miles whichever comes first. I had to laugh at a reply some FReeper made yesterday. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something like this:

"Her hair looks like she washes it every Feb 29th."

That’s a video format for 3g phones. You have to have a ‘viewer’ installed to view it.

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz told David Gregory Sunday, with a straight face, that President Obama has turned the economy around.

David Gregory confronted her with the cold hard facts—unemployment is up 25 percent since President Obama’s inauguration day, the debt is up 35 percent, a gallon of gas is up 104 percent, and 59 percent of Americans disapprove of the President’s handling of the economy.

Is Gregory ‘seeing the light’? Naa, but good to see any of them speak out.
