DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Economy Is 'Continuing on the Upswing'

Just days after the Labor Department announced zero job growth for the month of August, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), the chair of the Democratic National Committee, said that the economy is “continuing on the upswing" and that every economist "worth their salt" acknowledges that this is the result of the economic stimulus signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2009.

When Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February of that year, the national unemployment rate was 8.2 percent. As the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week, the national unemployment rate was 9.1 percent this August, unchanged from July. Before Obama signed the economic stimulus, his top economic advisers predicted unemployment would stay below 8 percent if it were enacted.

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the the stimulus cost $830 billion.

If evidenced by that 1960’s wad of hair on her head...yes!

Is there any doubt that Deb was a valley girl in her youth? She still has the teased 80’s hair to prove it. Oh, and one other thing. Her husband must be a total pansy for not having her take his name.

“Economy of the upswing”. Has she no shame? Even her children,if she has any, may be laughing at that one.

Amazing how they always fail to mention that Obama has lost so many jobs that if the unemployment rate was measured based on the size of the workforce he inherited in 2009, the unemployment rate would be about 12% now.

BTW, has anyone polled the unemployed about who they would vote for?

Obummer thinks he's buying those votes with 2 years (and maybe more) of unemployment benefit welfare.

The expression “worth his salt” goes back to the Roman times when part of your pay was in salt because it was very valuable then. Now salt is extremely cheap in comparison, so ones opinion can be worth salt!

There is a Democrat President therefore the news from the DNC is rosy and the news from the RNC is bleak. When the situations are reversed the messages are reversed as well. It’s as predictable as the sunrise.

Did everyone see her here:

Wow! DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz Booed & Heckled in Iowa (Video)

I truly loved this guys comment on that thread:

Wm T Sherman commented:

It looked like she was really making an effort. She stood up straight, simulated human emotion, and even changed the mayonnaise in her hair.

But just when she really got rolling, around 0:40 her Freudian slip was exposed by a chance updraft: “Democrats under President Obama will work every day to get this turd – uh – to get this economy turned around!”

What a shame. Maybe those mean hecklers threw her off her game.

All communists disgust me but especially shemales, for some reason.

Dear Debbie...Why the US was downgraded...

. U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
. Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
. New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
. National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
. Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000

Let’s remove 8 zeros and pretend it’s a household budget:

. Annual family income: $21,700.
. Money the family spent: $38,200.
. New debt on the credit card: $16,500.
. Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
. Total budget cuts: $385.

The next time she gets near a microphone someone should shove it down her throat.


Disagree. She is the gift that keeps on giving. We should encourage her to speak as often and loudly as possible while continually reminding everyone that her views are that of the Democrats.

Sun Tzu said it - and I paraphrase - when your enemy is making a mistake, let them.

Isn’t she the idiot who thinks the hate speech by Biden and assorted union goons was just peachy?

That's the very same Debbie. On Fox and Friends, instead of answering insistent, repeated questions about Hoffa's "SOBs" remark, Debbie accused Fox of not covering "coarse language" at tea parties. LINK: DWS Won't Condemn Hoffa Vitriolic Comments on Tea Party

Remember when McCain denounced a speaker for using Obama's middle name?
