[quote]Unhappy Workers Should Take Prozac --Bush Campaigner
A campaign worker for President Bush said on Thursday American workers unhappy with low-quality jobs should find new ones -- or pop a Prozac to make themselves feel better.
"Why don't they get new jobs if they're unhappy -- or go on Prozac?" said Susan Sheybani, an assistant to Bush campaign spokesman Terry Holt.
The comment was apparently directed to a colleague who was transferring a phone call from a reporter asking about job quality, and who overheard the remark.
When told the Prozac comment had been overheard, Sheybani said: "Oh, I was just kidding."
While recent employment growth has buoyed Bush's economic record, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) has argued the new jobs are not as good as those lost due to outsourcing in recent years.
Nearly 1.1 million jobs have been lost since Bush took office in January 2001.[/quote] [url]http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=615&u=/nm/20040729/pl_nm/campaign_jobs_dc_1&printer=1[/url]
Yep, the Bush team REALLY cares about the average American. :roll:
[i]What an impressive crowd: the haves, and the have-mores. Some people call you the elite, I call you my base. [/i] George W. Bush
