The Source has learned that Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm will be the featured speaker at the annual Missouri Democrat Party Truman Days celebration in Kansas City this weekend.
As an exclusive to the source, we have learned Governor Granholm will tout her economic resume as Governor of Michigan.
Her accomplishments include:
---12.6% Unemployment Rate
---Michigan lost 56,000 payroll jobs in 2008
---A loss of 43,000 Manufacturing Jobs since January 2008 (Losses of 19,400 jobs in the auto-industry)
---The University of Michigan RSQE November 2009 forecast predicts accelerating job cuts in Michigan of 124,000 in 2009, which would outpace job loss any year this decade. Also, job cuts are expected to remain substantial in 2010 (-49,000). If these forecasts hold, Michigan would record ten consecutive years of job loss.
Congratulations Missouri Democrats, you have selected the perfect speaker to articulate the national Democrats economic and prosperity talking points.
I guess Bernie Madoff couldn't get leave.
