Pelosi on Job Numbers: "Democrats are moving our country forward"

Democrat Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House.  Come November, she almost certainly lose her position.  However, until that time, she is desperately trying to put a positive light on poor economic news in order to to bolster the spirits of Democrats in charge.

The September jobs report was released recently and showed an "unexpectedly" high job loss.  However, Speaker of the House Pelosi was not aware of what the report said because she released a statement utterly void of understanding of the country's situation.

According to Pelosi, the country gained over 60,000 jobs, when in reality the economy lost over 90,000.  For whatever reason (which could be guessed), Pelosi only considers and mentions the job growth in the private sector and completely ignores the lose of 159,000 jobs in the public sector, as well as the 83,000 jobs cut at state and local levels.

But perhaps most ridiculous is her statement on the way Democrats are handling the economy:

"Democrats are moving our country forward, and we will and we must do more to strengthen our economy and put people back to work.  The American people face a clear choice."

With a Democratic party poised to lose possibly 100 seats or more in the Senate and House combined, Pelosi's clearly out of touch statements seem to be the epitome of a Democratic ruling party that just doesn't care and just doesn't get it.  How losing nearly 100,000 jobs "unexpectedly" constitutes responsible governing is lost on me.
Pelosi: Losing Jobs is Good For Country
Pelosi finishes her comments with this inane sentence:
"We will keep moving forward to create more jobs, growth, and prosperity for our workers and our families.”
Stuff like this is why Democrats will be out in the House and possibly the senate in two weeks.
