Gretchen Carlson, FOX News: Unemployment has gone up precipitously since he took office.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC Chair: That is simply not true. In fact, unemployment has now dropped below 9%. It’s continuing to drop. He’s been focused on –
Carlson: It’s higher than when they promised the stimulus would lower it to 8%.
Wasserman Schultz: You see, that narrative doesn’t work for you anymore, though, because –
Carlson: It’s not my narrative. I’m just talking about facts.
Wasserman Schultz: You just said the unemployment rate is going up since Obama took office, and it hasn’t.
Carlson: Is unemployment higher since President Obama took office?
Wasserman Schultz: What’s happened since President Obama took office –
Carlson: Is unemployment higher than when he took office?
Wasserman Schultz: Unemployment is nearing right around where it was when President Obama took office and it’s dropping. You just said it’s been increasing and that’s not true.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz has got to be the most obnoxious, arrogant ,self -serving hag to ever slime FOX news. She is rude, patronizing and talks over anyone who interviews her – she is a master manipulator and is a perfect example of why the DNC/DUMBOCRATS must be defeated in 2012.
And that hairdo? Looks like a throwback to the 60's.. pathetic
You forgot one more word that describes this "woman", an IDIOT! I wouldn't doubt "it" has had a sex change.
Two more words. IDIOT/COMMUNIST
Dumber than a box of rocks. My apology to every rock, everywhere for this comparison.
shanna: You are spot on! Schultz, like the DNC leaders around the country, are seriously pathetic! Sadly, the Dumbo-crats, RINO's and many Independents believe everything that comes out of her and other Dumbo-crats mouth. Probably because they are programed NOT to think for themselves! It all started years ago when left-wing school teachers and college professors pushed this crap into the brains of children, who are now grown up and voting fro the wrong reasons!
She is either whacked out on drugs or just plain psychotic! Or both
Wasserman Schultz, keep your fingers out of light nsockets, you hair would then improve!!
Boy these people think we out here are really dumb, everyone has suspected that the numbers showing unemployment have been cooked for the last year. Everymonths numbers have been way over 400,000 each week, all the company layoffs with only minimal private sector jobs being created. The actual number of people who drop out of the work force is never shown, they create a false unemployment percentage so this 8% is really bogus and Wasserman knows it, although she is an Obama cool-aide drinker who would knowingly go down with the Titanic for Obama.
Lets not forget that the democRATS do count the people collecting welfare checks AND unemployment collectors as actually employed…don't you know…they are collecting a paycheck without even leaving home…that has to count as employed…So…Yapping Poodle is right on…LOL
healthnut: Self employed?
Kool-aid maker
she's way to dumb to make cool-aid
So says the guy who can't spell "too" or "Kool-aid."
Another flash of brilliant deduction by the perfect blogger. Still that bored James? By the way, the K in Kool-Aid is a trademarked brand name symbol and not proper spelling so Jon is legally and politically correct – as long as you want to nitpick.
Not to mention the correct usage of "to" as opposed to "too" to.
You're kidding, I hope: "to dumb"?
"Another flash of brilliant deduction"
Thanks, but no real deduction involved–after all, no conclusions were drawn. Just simple observation.
"Still that bored James?"
Sometimes a bit bored by obvious cluelessness, but mostly just amused at ironic stupidity. Thanks for asking.
By the way, how about if you look up the definition of "cool-aid" and share it with us–just in case someone needs heating or air conditioning work. I'm sure that's what Jon meant–unless he (and you) was referring to the Urban Dictionary meaning.
Also a Californian here, who also feels the rest of the country believe we are ALL liberal nut jobs, but know different. We know it's the welfare supported L.A. and oh so far left San Francisco are the large liberal contingency, with ample votes (legal or otherwise) to cancel out the basic conservatives from the rest of our state. Toss Sacramento into the left category for good measure.
THIS BITCH IS A MORON !!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORE OF obama's COMMUNIST IDIOTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor thing—she's dumber than a rock and proves it every time she opens her mouth
Deceitful, evil, lying hag! Congressman West had her pegged and was not afraid to speak his mind, may others follow his lead.
Wasserman Schultz sounds like a real sweet heart to me. I'm sure glad that she and I live in different neighborhoods together. I'm pretty sure I would have to mess up the pile of leaves in her yard that she had just gotten raked into that nice big pile.
If she's on drugs, she shouldn't be and if she's not on drugs, she should be.
Debbie Blabbermouth Shultz is an idiot. Best she keep her mouth shut and not display her ignorance/stupidity overtly.
Next in line for the Stupid Award is Barbara Boxer who claims that if the latest bill passes, 8,100 people will immediately die from pollution. Ever wonder how they got their numbers/information?? I think it may be from a Ouiga board.
Unemployment continues to rise as millions of people fall off unemployment compensation statistics. In reality, unemployment is well over 17%, but then, this government and media never tell the truth about anything. They should have learned by now that "veritas vos liberabit!"
If you expect to get a straight answer out of someone who works for a man with no background, no birth certificate, no school records. Who was adopted and then spent his early years in Indonesia and had to become and Indonesian citizen in order to attend school thus making himself ineligible to hold the office of President you are "casting your pearls before swine" (Matt. 7:6). Look back at the record. Gasoline was $1.89 when Obama took office and where is it at now? Unemployment is not 9%, or 10%, it's actually at about 18% when you figure in all those who have quit looking for work because they cannot find work and their benefits have run out. You cannot expect a straight answer from someone like this woman who has signed on to an agenda so liberal it makes FDR look like a Republican.
I did not listen to this broad on the tape!! I have listened to her before!!! I don't understand why she changes out of her her German SS uniform before she goes on the air?? I know hitler doesn't want all of America to know right now but still……It would just seem more natural to me with it on!!!
Carlson missed a great opportunity to ask one simple question that I doubt DWS could answer…"What was the unemployment rate in January 2009"?……I recall, and I looked it up, the unemployment rate was 7.2% the day Obama was inaugurated. The unemployment rate has risen to 10.1% under Obama and is now at 8.6% after they cooked the books and it will likely go back up to 9.5% and higher once the part time holiday jobs go away in January. For the life of me I can't understand why so-called 'journalists" and talking heads on television can't confront these liars with some facts that will ultimately make them look like the idiots they are.
Mainly due to the fact the MSM are liberal to the core. They cover up for the Dim leftist regardless of the lie being a known factor. This behavior convinces the illiterate that their choice in 2008 was correct. Few of the left follow politics beyond what they are told via the MSM TV talking heads.
Schulz is lying. Unemployment has gone up.
In Nancy Pelosi's words
"Unemployment checks create jobs"
So, I guess if you look at it from her angle……
