‘Debbie Upper?’

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced today that the economy has turned around!

The exchange with David Gregory came after he announced some bleak economic statistics. He posed this question to the Florida congresswoman:

GREGORY: Why should Americans trust Democratic governance right now on the economy, and particularly the president’s?
DWS: Because we were able to, under President Obama’s leadership, turn this economy around…
GREGORY: Whoa, whoa, let me just stop you there. Clearly, the economy has not turned around. I mean, you just saw those numbers.
DWS: It certainly — it has…

I’m sure the 44 million Americans on food stamps are glad to hear that.
