Debbie Wasserman Schultz: ‘We own the economy’
By: Molly Ball June 15, 2011 11:35 AM EDT
Democrats are ready to take responsibility for the state of the economy and they deserve credit for putting it on the right track, the party’s chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, said on Wednesday.
“We own the economy. 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,” Wasserman Schultz told Mike Allen at a breakfast hosted by POLITICO’s Playbook.
The economy, she said, “has turned around” since President Obama took office, with steady job growth evident even if the pace leaves something to be desired.
Republicans have ridiculed Democrats’ claims of economic success in the wake of disappointing jobs numbers and an uptick in the unemployment rate.
Wasserman Schultz said Democrats aren’t in need of a new story to tell about the economy because they’ve put the right policies in place. “I don’t think it’s about what we say, it’s about what we do.”
She said Democrats’ actions demonstrate their commitment to the middle class while Republicans’ do not. Though she commended several individual Republicans by name — including her home state colleague, Rep. Daniel Webster — Wasserman Schultz said the party’s leadership in the house is beholden to an extreme faction.

She, and they, _really_ are insane,,,aren’t they?
So Hitler like.
You have to ask what are the side-effects of all the new feel-good psychoactive drugs so many adults in this generation are using, by prescription?
Define ...or in the case of libtard idiots....REDEFINE the term “right track,” Wasserman SchultzIdiot. =.=
She’s delusional. This may fly inside the beltway but no where else.
I swear! Every time I see a picture of this woman, there’s a squirrel acting nonchalant in the background, getting ready to pounce on her and drag her into a tree.
Soon she will say that you won't get wet if you get in the ocean - 30% will believe her.
Hubris, hutzpa, and (according to the president) a heck of a cute smile.
This woman (and I use that term loosely what with the photos I’ve seen) is a blessing to the GOP. God willing, they’ll use that gift wisely. But, then again, they are the GOP...
updating tagline
Psssst, Debbie, no one dares to go near your demwit koolaide - but nice try! LOL!
MHP (my humble prediction - ha !)...
Debbie “miss clairol” W-S will undoubtedly get steamrolled by the continued epic fail of 2011 and 2012 stemming from liberal and left-wing DemRats going down with their commie policies of 2009 and 2010 instead of turning on their own ideology.
The blue dogs, of course, are tacking right.
you’d hafta be
evil to speak that, and
stupid to believe it.
What is she talking about this is nothing more then Rats trying to rewrite history. Does she not realize that Democrats controlled Congress starting in JAN 07 that means Democrats were the gatekeepers of American finance starting in JAN 07... Pelosi’s 2006 campaign for change ticket resulted in a recession that started in 4th quarter of 07 not because of Bush policies but because of the Democrat Controlled Congress not addressing the brewing Housing crisis, or the coming defaults, etc, this recession started under Democrat control of Congress and followed up by failed Keynesian economic policies of Obama has caused the economy to go in the wrong direction ever since.
All the Rats in 2007 wanted was to force Bush to withdraw from Iraq they cared little of economic consequence.
And LeBron owned the 4th quarter in the NBA Finals!
