Debbie Wasserman Schultz Tangles With Gretchen Carlson On Fox & Friends
Fox ^ | 2/29/12 | Fox

Posted on 02/29/2012 9:11:12 AM PST by Nachum

In an at-times heated interview, Fox and Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson grilled Democratic Nation Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz over high gas prices, and played video of her criticizing President Bush over the same problem.

“So I think you felt the President could have done something about lowering the gas prices,” Carlson pressed. “What do you say now that gas prices are going to reach $5 a gallon under President Obama?”

“What I was referring to in that speech, as I have for many years, is that focusing on fossil fuels and continuing the ‘drill baby drill’ strategy that President Obama rightly referred to the other day in south Florida as ‘a bumper sticker, not an energy policy,’ is not the way to go,” Schultz replied. “We are not going to address gas prices over the long-term because there is — there is no President in the short-term that can really change policy and impact gas prices in a significant way. But what we do need to do is over the short-term and long-term make sure that we are using the ‘all of the above’ strategy that President Obama has employed: more domestic energy production than we’ve had in eight years, making sure that we invest for the future in alternative energy like wind and solar and hydroelectric power, so that we can really start to impact our need to depend on…”

“But A lot of Americans are wondering what’s going to happen now and a lot of those things take time,” Carlson shot back.

“Affecting gas prices takes time,” Schultz acknowledged. “You’re absolutely right,”

I stopped by the Chevrolet Dealership yesterday for a look at the new Silverado 3500 pickup. Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive wanted to sense that new “feel.” The salesman (a black guy wearing an Obama “change” lapel pin) sat in the passenger seat describing the truck and all its “wonderful” options. The seats were of particular interest. He explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat. Feeling like messing with him, I mentioned that this must be a Republican truck.Looking a bit angry, he asked why I thought it was a Republican truck. I explained that if it were an Obama truck, the seats would blow smoke up your ass year-round.

I had to walk back to the dealership... the guy had no sense of humor.

This is the kind of journalism the lame stream media should be doing, but they in the tank for Obama. I'm sorry I missed Curly Top getting grilled. Kudos for Carlson.

Some interviewers might not be fast on their feet, but at least Downer Debbie’s comments are on tape. It is up to the voters from there.

Thanks, but I can’t take any credit (other than for posting one of the creations from I Own The World)...

“We have come to the point where the Dems can say anything, and their base, which includes the media, will swallow it, without question.”

It’s all about the means justifying the ends. Whatever you have to do or say in order to get to the utopian dream is OK. That is what seperates the left from the right. The right stands on principle and morals, the left has none.

Like you say, it’s a deliberate choice, not stupidity or ignorance.

Some day I’ll ask a liberal, “Should we always do good, and avoid evil?”

“Duh!”

“Then can we do evil, so that good may come?”

To expand on your post a bit...

The left sees their end goal as nothing short of heaven on earth, a renewed Eden, something of infinite worth.

When they balance out the means necessary to achieve this goal of infinite worth, ANYTHING is justified.

It’s good to see that someone has informed ole’ Deb that the 80’s is now over and she has updated her hair style. When I would see pics of her on the floor of the house with that frizzed out hair, I thought it was 1987....

And since they’re at least practcal atheists, an earthly paradise is as good as it’s going to get. Liberalism is secular religion. This explains their hysterical reaction to any reduction in State power.
