Unhappy Workers Should Take Prozac --Bush Campaigner

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.
