Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz found herself under fire Friday for President Barack Obama’s attacks against Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital, as the DNC chairwoman was grilled during an appearance on CNN about the “hypocrisy” of the president’s campaign strategy.
“Why is it not hypocrisy for the president to take campaign donations from private equity when he’s attacking private equity and making that a central part of his campaign?” CNN’s Christine Romans asked the Florida congresswoman.
Wasserman Schultz shot back, “That’s not just comparing apples and oranges. It’s comparing apples and coconuts.”
“Accepting a contribution from a particular person involved in venture capital and criticizing Mitt Romney who has made his record as a venture capitalist at Bain the central focus of his credibility and his qualification for being president are completely different things,” she continued. “Who contributes to Barack Obama has little to do with that because those contributors are not running for president.”

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Un-friggin’-believable.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz grilled on CNN
____________________________________________________________
I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again: It’s getting to where CNN is more “fair and balanced” than FOX News.
Apples and coconuts, eh?
DWS: “Who contributes to Barack Obama has little to do with that because those contributors are not running for president.”
Thanks to DWS, I got dumber for 5 minutes.
How come the president demanded over $1.3 “trillion” in stimulus and the country is worse off now then before he took it?
Where is Joe Biden with a penny by penny account of where that money went?
How can Obama even talk when his biggest campaign bundler Jon Corzine evaporated $1.2 “billion” of OPM with no recollection of where it went?
Hope they used Bull’s Eye BBQ sauce
She was “grilled”? I’ll be she got drunk again and fell into the barbecue.
I bet she has a bridge or a train to nowhere in her pork bag.
Its Mem Day weekend-— please dont mention Debbie Wassy Thingy in the same sentence with grillin’......isn’t anything sacred anymore? — (’
Yea and I would trust it with “It is a 3 letter word J O B S” Biden. Plus he probably was helped by Timothy “the tax cheat” Geithner.
I hope I live long enough to see her just ugly away, I don’t think it will take that much longer !!
That is the first good answer I’ve heard from DW-S.
You can’t really hold the candidate responsible for all his supporters, and what they say. But this is a two-way street, and the Obama campaign is ready enough to criticize Romney’s backers.
It's actually worse than that. Barry's thugs have been investigating and attempting to intimidate Romney's donors. That a sitting POTUS would use such tactics is nauseating
With that picture I just noticed something. As the DNC Chairwoman, can’t she afford some dental work? My goodness, she looks as if she’s been in some boxing matches.
Grilled? She looks more roasted and broiled! Yikes!
with the 3 day attention span rule, CNN gets to look like hard-A$$es while keeping the BAIN non-issue alive longer than 3 days.
win-win for CNN.
