http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,227390,00.html?sPage=fnc.politics/youdecide2006President Bush, buoyed by news that U.S. unemployment was at a five-year low, put the focus in the Battle for Congress squarely on the economy Friday, hammering away at Democrats — in particular, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — who he warned can't wait to do away with tax cuts.
"People are working in the United States, the tax cuts have worked," Bush told a Republican rally in Springfield, Mo., where the president was stumping for incumbent Sen. Jim Talent.
If these tax cuts are not extended or made permanent, your taxes are going up," Bush warned, charging that Pelosi already had asked "the man who would be chairman of Ways and Means
" whether he would preserve the cuts.
"Not a one, not a tax cut," Bush said Pelosi was told.
The fiery rhetoric came as Republican and Democratic candidates across the country scrambled to swing undecided voters into their camp before Tuesday's vote to decide which party will control Congress — and, an array of issues from the economy to Iraq and the War on Terror.
Pelosi was not to be outdone, however, firing back at the president who she claimed had "the worst jobs record since the Great Depression," in spite of Friday's news that the October jobless rate fell to 4.4 percent, the lowest it has been in more than five years.
more Faux spin....:argh:
