It’s not news to anyone that there will be a presidential campaign in 2012. This silly season seems to have begun early in this election cycle. I am sure there are Republicans out there saying stupid things, but the air-headed statements award of the moment has to go to Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.<\/p>\n
Yesterday CNS News<\/a> reported on some of Ms. Wasserman’s recent statements:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The new chairwoman has made a number of attention grabbing comments. In an April 6 interview on MSNBC, Wasserman Shultz voiced her opposition to the proposal by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to reduce the deficit by $6 trillion in 10 years. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/li>\n This plan would literally be a death trap for some seniors,” Wasserman Schultz said.<\/span>Last week she said on MSNBC, that the passage of the health care law has strengthened Medicare.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/span>“<\/span>In fact, we added 12 years of solvency to Medicare and ensure that it would be better for senior,” she said on Andrea Mitchell Reports on May 25.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>That’s contrary to the assessment of the Congressional Budget Office, the non-partisan accounting arm of Congress that predicted the Medicare trust fund will be exhausted by 2020 at the current path, almost a decade sooner than the last year’s forecast.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n It is amazing to me that Ms. Wasserman sees President Obama as pro-Israel. The path the President has started down in terms of creating a Palestinian state is a recipe for the destruction of Israel. It is also interesting that she makes statements about Medicare that can easily be proven false. I also wonder why she feels that illegal immigrants are called illegal if they are not committing a crime.<\/p>\n I suspect Ms. Wasserman might make this a much more interesting political season than it might otherwise be. She’s almost as good as Howard Dean!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s not news to anyone that there will be a presidential campaign in 2012.
