DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz struggled yesterday to explain why President Obama shouldn’t be held responsible for people losing their jobs at Solyndra while Mitt Romney should for job losses at companies Bain Capital invested in while he was CEO.

Wallace: Is the president responsible for laying off the people at Solyndra?

Wasserman-Schultz: No, because the president wasn’t the CEO of Solyndra. The—Bain—

Wallace: Well, Romney wasn’t the CEO of these companies either.

Wasserman-Schultz: No, Romney—

Wallace: The president was—excuse me—the president was a venture capitalist. He put taxpayer money into Solyndra and a thousand people lost their jobs. So is the president responsible for the thousand people who lost their jobs at Solyndra?

Wasserman-Schultz: Not even close. But Mitt Romney is responsible for being CEO of companies that he took over, that he dismantled—

Wallace: He wasn’t the CEO, he put money into them.

Wasserman-Schultz: No, no, no. He was the CEO of Bain. Bain bought these companies, took them over—

Wallace: Well the president’s the CEO of the country.

Wasserman-Schultz: But he’s not the CEO of Solyndra. That’s a total apples and—

Wallace: And Romney wasn’t the CEO of Ampad or these other companies.

Wasserman-Schultz: But Bain Capital owned those companies. He made the decisions—

Wallace: So you’re saying the president has no responsibility for what happened at Solyndra?

Wasserman-Schultz: What I’m saying is that Mitt Romney as CEO—

Wallace: I’m asking about the president.

Wasserman-Schultz: No. Mitt Rom—the president—

Wallace: Has no responsibility for Solyndra.

Wasserman-Schultz: The president has responsibility for the green jobs program where he made investments, but—

Wallace: And how about the company, Solyndra, that went bankrupt?

Wasserman-Schultz: But the decisions that were made at Solyndra that ultimately led to their bankruptcy were those of the people who work for Solyndra. Mitt Romney—Chris, let me answer your question, please—

Wallace: Well, I think you did answer the question.

Wasserman-Schultz: Mitt—Mitt Romney had—it’s total apple-oranges comparison. Mitt Romney—

It’s not apples and oranges. It’s a typical Democrat double standard: Romney doesn’t have to be the actual CEO at companies Bain Capital invested in to be held responsible for any layoffs or closures at those companies, yet Obama, as U.S. President, gets a pass from being held accountable for the layoffs at taxpayer-subsidized Solyndra.

Wasserman- Schultz  answered Wallace’s question all right. Now the question is, how long will it take the Democrats to recover from her answer.

How does this woman hang onto her job? How do Democrats not see the double standard? Amazing.

If the leftists are smart, they should can their lead attack woman. Smart? Did I say smart? Omigosh.

The difference that I see is that. As a CEO of a venture capitalist firm Mitt’s job was to minimize efficiencies a.k.a. fire people. In doing so he gained profits for himself and investors in his private equity firm. (not discriminating I’m studying economics and finance myself but you have to tell it like it is.) The President was not in charge of Solyndra. Was it bad judgement… Hindsight says of course. Did he purposely create a company to fire people. Nope.

Why does what this women says mean ANYTHING!!!!! The realization of a double standard has been out there for a long time. So what? She’s a boob. These media types think they are so important to this president and his admin. They will be used and discarded just like everyone else. You are ignorant and your Liberal bias (fanaticism) will be the end of you. Hey Debbie wait until you’re a nobody, and things will look a whole lot different to you. Sleep well while you can.

This “Obama Bootlicker” keeps her job, as she tries to give a snowjob to the American public. She lies with a straight face, and just tries to talk over the likes of Chris Wallace, using the usual Dem bullying they are so used to getting away with. It is amazing how she can just out and out take a situation and spin it into a favorable action for Obama. These people insult one’s intelligence, as if No One is actually paying attention to what Obama IS doing to our Republic. Seeing this woman, and hearing her
bs actually makes my stomach turn. Good job Chris Wallace…..the next trick they play will be the usual
‘Race Card, when all else fails”.
