The Economy Dems Now Own
IBD ^ | June 16, 2011 | Staff

The head of the Democratic National Committee says the administration has turned the economy around. So let us give discredit where discredit is due.

Joe Biden should sue DNC chief and Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for copyright infringement based on her statement at a Politico breakfast. We thought the vice president had a monopoly on statements completely detached from reality.

"We own the economy," Schultz said. "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."

That's right, Debbie, you guys own the economy, though you might explain President Obama's chuckle about those shovel-ready jobs not being as shovel-ready as he thought. Does your "pace of recovery" include an official rate of unemployment of 9.1% after a failed trillion-dollar stimulus was supposed to cap it at 8% and force it downward?

That official rate, based on a monthly survey of sample households, counts only people who reported looking for work in the past four weeks. It doesn't account for part-time workers who want to work more hours but can't, given the tight job market. And it doesn't include those who have given up trying to find work.

Nice.

Still playing the “Bush” card.

The private sector has a lack of confidence, due to Obama policies, causing the problems we are in.

The same independents who voted Obama in are about to throw him out.

I suspect by Nov 012, folks will be talking about 2008 as the “good old days”.

Can you imagine sitting across the dinner table with that disgusting harpy, constantly whining at you?

“The same independents who voted Obama in are about to throw him out.”

I’ll belive it when I see it. (Scratch the surface of an
“independent” and you’ll find deep blue.)

IMHO
