Rep. Wasserman Schultz says she 'earned Cadillac' healthcare coverage
examiner.com ^ | 5/7/12 | Jay Schorr

Posted on 05/07/2012 1:52:14 PM PDT by ColdOne

When asked if average Americans should receive the same quality health insurance as that of their elected officials, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz told a group of South Florida healthcare workers that she “earned” her benefits, implying that her constituents had not.

“Yes, she really said that,” related Dr. Norman Palgon, a Hallandale Beach-based internist who was in attendance at a forum the Congresswoman conducted last year to garner support for ObamaCare. The good doctor was non-too-pleased with what he clearly felt was the congresswoman’s imperious attitude.

Wasserman Schultz, 45, who also is Chair of the Democratic National Committee, is a career politician who has never worked a day in the private sector. She has become a ubiquitous congressional proponent for ObamaCare, appearing on network television news shows extolling the President’s healthcare plan, in addition to serving as chief cheerleader for Obama’s re-election.

Is Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz ‘gambling’ with her future?

09/30/2010

Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz recently blasted proposals to allow individuals to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes, gravely warning of the “risky gamble” of investing.

“If that had happened in the last couple of years…you would have ended the protections that people have in the twilight of their life as we know it,” she said to Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan on CNN.

“Investing in the stock market is a risky gamble. It’s certainly not good for senior citizens or for the next generation to preserve Social Security. That will end Social Security,” she said.

On the one hand, it’s certainly true that many investors lost big in the financial crisis. The S&P 500 is down roughly 20 percent from where it was in 2007, when the crisis began.

On the other hand, it seems Wasserman Shultz may need to heed her own warnings. According to her most recent financial disclosure form, Wasserman Shultz may be, if she believes what she told viewers of CNN, gambling with the twilight of her life.

In 2009, two years into the financial crisis, Wasserman Shultz and her husband Paul purchased between $25,011 and $200,000 in mutual fund investments in retirement accounts.

Wasserman Shultz also owns between $100,001 and $250,000 in common shares for the Community Bank of Broward, where her husband works.

I think she’s an excellent spokesperson for the Democrat party.

Hope she retains that job for years to come.

Just like Pelosi’s comments last year it sounds like...

“Progressives never matured beyond their teenage years. “I’m so much better than you, and smarter, ...” They are emotional children and should never be allowed to be in charge of anything. This is why character matters, not just intelligence or social skill. “

See tagline.

Were either of you teenage socialists? Do you really think a socialist outlook on life is natural, normal, reasonable for a teenager?

This is the way our public servants overlords really think.

Whoa, I don't know how "safe" Washerwoman-Shultz's district might be; however, this would make the ultimate campaign commercial for anyone running against her.

“Were either of you teenage socialists? Do you really think a socialist outlook on life is natural, normal, reasonable for a teenager? “

I said nothing about teenagers being socialists. Immature and childish yes. Exactly what most liberals are in adult life. And whatever you do, don’t get between a liberal and “their” money. See tagline.

Just one more of the ruling elite who refuse to acknowledge they are public SERVANTS.

Someone needs to put this ugly bitch in her place where SERVANTS belong.

It's difficult for me to believe that her face is only 45 years old. 65 or 75...maybe.

Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades,” cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, “surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?”

Change "Jones" to "Obama" and it sounds remarkably like the RomneyBots' argument for voting for their boy...
