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.

I get the impression that even Pelosi is smarter than Debbie, It is fun to watch her try to defend Obama’s economy record as part of her DNC re-election chair-woman job.

Imagine the laughs that Obama, Pelosi and Hoyer had when they decided to offer this job to her no one else wanted. Like being hired as a PR manager to defend a child molester caught on film/tape at press conferences and interviews.

Debbie accused Fox of not covering "coarse language" at tea parties.

I assume 'Debbie' has tapes to back this up... or is she equating the head of a union and the vice president with some person standing in a crowd ???

Remember when dem liars accused Tea Party members of using the N word? Turns out it never happened. They just made it up. Maybe that's what she's talking about - dems tend to believe their own lies.

Did you see that thing where they guy predicts the Presidential winner based on a variety of points based criterion, he’s been right since he started doing it. (he “can’t see how Obama loses”.)

Anyway he rated the economy a “push”. Lol.

Yeah, Lichtman says that the economy won’t be held against Obama, and that ObamaCare and Porkulus are “legislative accomplishments” that are on the positive side of Obama’s ledger. Of course, Lichtman’s criteria are so vague that he can still pivot and say “Obama now faces a scandal” and/or “the economy is now a negative for him” and/or “the GOP nominee is charismatic” and claim that his criteria predicted a Republican victory all along, but that the factors were still in flux in September 2011. And come 2015, the media will have forgotten that he’s a Democrat hack (he ran in the MD U.S. Senate primary in 2006) who had said that Obama couldn’t lose in 2012 and swallow his lie that his factors have predicted the winner of the past X presidential elections.
