Pelosi to GOP: 'Show us the jobs'

[Joanne98]

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) trotted out on Tuesday her own variation of the Republican mantra of "Where are the jobs?" used to some effect against her and House Democrats in the 2010 elections.

Pelosi charged the GOP with ignoring job creation during its first month in charge — a prevailing line of attack used by Democrats against the new Republican majority — during a speech on the House floor this afternoon opposing Republican legislation to fund government for the rest of this fiscal year.


"Democrats are saying 'no' to the Republican majority. We are saying, 'Show us the jobs,'" Pelosi said.

It's unclear whether "Show us the jobs" will become a recurring refrain for Democrats the way "Where are the jobs?" was for Republicans over the past two years. Pelosi herself said that the GOP mantra was effective in handing defeat to Democrats in the 2010 elections.
