New Video Emerges of Tedisco Blasting Democrat for Not Knowing How She Stands on Recovery Package
DCCC Press:
"I don't know how she stands on the stimulus package on the federal level; I don't know how she stands on foreign policy...I'd like to know the answers to those questions. I'd like to know what her plans are to help Upstate New York create jobs."
--Career Albany Politician Jim Tedisco on Caroline Kennedy, January 13th, 2009
Watch it:
Now, twenty days after Congress passed President Obama's economic recovery act and two days after being pressed to finally give voters an answer at Tuesday's AARP forum, career Albany politician Jim Tedisco still refuses to explain why he won't support the President's plan.
He did not, however, have any problem holding a different standard at a January press conference where he attacked Caroline Kennedy for not knowing her position on the same legislation.
"Attacking someone for failing to take a stand on the economic recovery act while refusing to do so himself is just like career Albany politician Jim Tedisco," said Jennifer Crider, Communications Director for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "To date, Tedisco has given five different responses to one ‘yes' or ‘no' question and voters are tired of the Albany politicians' hypocrisy and doublespeak. It's time for Jim Tedisco to finally be up front with Upstaters ."
