FW: Unhappy Workers Should Take Prozac --Bush Campaigner

Thu Jul 29, 2004 01:50 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A campaign worker for President Bush said on Thursday
American workers unhappy with low-quality jobs should find new ones – or
pop a Prozac to make themselves feel better.
"Why don't they get new jobs if they're unhappy – or go on Prozac?" said
Susan Sheybani, an assistant to Bush campaign spokesman Terry Holt.

The comment was apparently directed to a colleague who was transferring a
phone call from a reporter asking about job quality, and who overheard the
remark.

When told the Prozac comment had been overheard, Sheybani said: "Oh, I was
just kidding."

While recent employment growth has buoyed Bush's economic record, Democratic
presidential candidate John Kerry has argued the new jobs are not as good as
those lost due to outsourcing in recent years.

Nearly 1.1 million jobs have been lost since Bush took office in January
2001.
