DNC chair ‘pretty happy’ with the economic recovery
Made popular 315 days ago in Politics
washingtonexaminer.com — Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who chairs the Democratic National Committee (DNC), described herself as “pretty happy” with the ongoing economic recovery — which prompted her Republican counterpart to suggest she’s been on Mars, or a “fantasy land.”

“I am pretty happy about straight 28 months of job growth in the private sector,” Wasserman Schultz said on Fox News Sunday when asked about the latest jobs report showing 8.2 percent unemployment nationally and 80,000 jobs created.

“Like I’ve said — we — and President Obama has said, we continue — we need to continue to improve and we need to do more and we need to work together,” Wasserman Schultz added when Fox News’ John Roberts pressed her about those figures. ” But I am pleased that the manufacturing has had a resurgence and created 500,000 jobs in the last 28 months.”

Wasserman Schultz, fresh off a family roadtrip to New Hampshire, also took a veiled shot Republican Mitt Romney for transporting his dog in a carrier on the roof of his car. “[A]ll of the dogs were in the car,” she said of her family vacation. “So I prove it can be done.” Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus countered by hitting President Obama on the stimulus. “Wow, I don’t know if she is on vacation in New Hampshire or on Mars,” he said. “And if Debbie and President Obama were good on their promises on the stimulus — remember, they said if we pass this trillion dollar stimulus that we’d have 5.5 percent unemployment today.” “This president can’t fulfill a promise,” Priebus added. “They’re living in fantasy land.”

Dem. Chair Invested in Swiss Banks, Foreign Drug Companies, and the State Bank of India

Disclosure forms reveal that Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress from Florida, previously held funds with investments in Swiss banks, foreign drug companies, and the state bank of India. This revelation comes mere days after the Democratic chair attacked presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for holding money in Swiss bank accounts in the past.

"Americans need to ask themselves, why does an American businessman need a Swiss bank account and secretive investments like that?" the DNC chair, a chief surrogate for President Obama's reelection team, said on Fox News Sunday two days ago. "Just something, a thought, that I'd like to leave folks with."

It's been a consistent theme of Obama's reelection strategy: Attack Romney for foreign investments he held, especially in Swiss bank accounts, "to try to promote his wealthy, out-of-touch businessman persona."

But disclosure forms reveal that in 2010, Wasserman Schultz invested between $1,001-$15,000 in a 401k retirement fund run by Davis Financial Fund. As the fund discloses, it is invested in the Julius Baer Group Ltd. and the State Bank of India GDR Ltd., as well as other financial, insurance, bank institutions.
