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.”

"It’s getting to where CNN is more “fair and balanced” than FOX News."

You are missing the point; Fox has more missing children and women, and they have a monopoly on ex-beauty queens (all grown from eggs on Bikini atoll)
