DNC chairwoman doesn't drive American By Michael O'Brien - 05/26/11 04:40 PM ET
The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) appears to drive a foreign car, despite criticizing Republican presidential candidates for supposedly favoring foreign auto manufacturers.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), the chairwoman of the DNC, ripped into Republican presidential contenders who opposed President Obama's 2009 bailouts for General Motors and Chrysler.
"If it were up to the candidates for president on the Republican side, we would be driving foreign cars; they would have let the auto industry in America go down the tubes," she said at a breakfast for reporters organized by The Christian Science Monitor.
But according to Florida motor vehicle records, the Wasserman Schultz household owns a 2010 Infiniti FX35, a Japanese car whose parent company is Nissan, another Japanese company. The car appears to be hers, since its license plate includes her initials.
The DNC and Republican presidential hopefuls have locked horns this week over the 2009 bailouts, especially as President Obama has looked to build some political report by taking credit for Chrysler's rebound, to the extent that the automaker was able to pay back the remainder of its loans from the federal government.
"They can try to distract from the issue if they want," said DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan. "But if Republican opposition researchers are snooping around garages, they should know that if Republicans — who said that we should let the U.S. auto industry go bankrupt — had their way, they wouldn’t find a single American made car anywhere."
He added: "Besides, Chair Wasserman Schultz voted in Congress to save the American automobile industry, Republicans would have let it go down the tubes."
But she will support buying 1000s of Chevy Volts with your money!
Figures.
It’s the only car she could find with seats big enough to fit her ass...
She certainly has the pear shape for it.
Based on that picture, I’d say she’s about 2/3 of the way towards making a complete ass out of herself.
I seem to recall Ford NOT needing a bailout...
I like the FX35, nice shape to it. Do not like her, she’s more like a genetic disaster.
I will not buy an American made auto until they tell the unions to go pound sand... so pretty much never.
Geez...
At least she could be driving GM (Obamamotors) Cadillac SRX...made in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico!
Liberals. Discustingly hypocritical.
3 real life personal examples.
1- My liberal brother in law. At our beach vaca family reunion. My wife complains about jelly fish. Bro in law says “they were here first”. Next day. Bro in law cursing the jellyfish. “SOB’s are everywhere messing up my vaca”.
2- Liberal neighbor. Constantly touting higher taxes for the evil rich. Her mother dies and leaves them money. “F’n IRS is taxing the sh*& out of us”.
3- Liberal client of mine. “We want to live in a tolerant diversified neighborhood”. Next day. “We love the house but too many spics and blacks for our taste”.
I heard the remark made yesterday on the radio that Wasserman Schultz is the reason why burqas were invented. LOL!!
Could stand for driving while stupid.
All liberals should be forced to drive the chevy volt to show their solidarity for saving the planet........
Her picture makes my eyes hurt.
Laz would hit like the Hammer of Thor.
Where are the rocks that this slimeball crawled from under?
That car is built in Japan. It’s not one of the cars that Nisan builds in the United States
Someone suggested she should have had a Smart Car. Well that’s built in France and Germany.
