Economy Soars, Democrats Whine

What must it be like to live a life in which you must make good things into bad things? Ask Nancy Pelosi:

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday criticized Republicans for being optimistic about the Labor Department's September jobs report showing an increase in jobs, a jump in average hourly income and a decrease in unemployment.

More jobs, higher incomes, low unemployment, and Nancy Pelosi is critical? Unfortunately, the Democrats, in blaming the Republicans in general and George Bush in particular for everything that goes wrong in America have positioned themselves so that they cannot acknowledge when anything, anything, goes right.

"President Bush and Republicans continue to claim that the economy is on the right track," Pelosi said in a news release. "This once again demonstrates how out of touch Republicans are, because the U.S. economy is not delivering for middle-class families."

What an awful, ugly platform upon which to stand.
