EMILY’s List president Stephanie Schriock is taking her lead from Barack Obama and is on a tear today against John Boehner, complete with a website. In a lunchtime speech, she said: ”John Boehner can only take the speaker’s gavel from Nancy Pelosi, by defeating the Democratic women you and I have worked so hard to elect. And by discouraging women voters so much that they stay home on November 2nd.”
Boehner spokesman Michael Steele responds: ”The American people — men and women alike — are asking, ‘where are the jobs?’ and Washington Democrats have no new answers. We need to stop their tax hikes, cut government spending, and get our economy moving again. That’s an agenda everyone can embrace.”
