Is Elisabeth Haselbeck running for office as a GOP candidate? Why is it the GOP always claims THEY ae the ones who speak for “the American people?” The GOP does not speak for me! Neither does Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
President Obama so elegantly and eloquently countered Hasselbeck’s hysteria.
I was very proud of him.
And Hasselbeck needs to grow a brain.
Via Saul Relative:
In a long and rambling question that was more of an accusation than a question, Hasselbeck asked President Obama how his administration could “claim” and “boast” to have “saved jobs” when the unemployment rate keeps “hovering” around the 10 percent mark and so many were jobless. After he explained that he believed, and noted that even Senator John McCain’s former economic advisor believed, that, if not for the stimulus package supported by his administration, millions of more people would have lost their jobs (and the country would have experienced another Great Depression), especially those who worked in state governments that were specifically targeted by the stimulus.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck pressed, repeating (a common tactic in attempts to label or associate someone with something) that she didn’t understand how he — and his administration — could say that they had “saved” jobs. President Obama got more direct.
“It makes a difference if your job is one that was saved,” he told her.
The audience of “The View” erupted in applause.
