Pelosi Speaks: 'Obama Has Shown More Patience During Debt Ceiling Talks Than Biblical Job' (Video)

Video - Pelosi on Obama's Biblical Patience Over Debt Talks - July 14, 2011

We are purposely not covering the debt ceiling soap opera very closely, but this was too good to pass up as Nancy grabbed the microphone on Thursday:

"I want to commend the president – I have never seen – Job is no place compared to this president in terms of patience.  He [Job] doesn’t even begin because this president has demonstrated a level of patience, not only during the meetings but as respect, respectful of the suggestions that are made by all parties at the meeting, in his preparation for the meeting, and his coming back to address concerns that are expressed by others."

Pelosi also said she is “almost too busy” to continue listening to what is going on in the debt limit meetings.

"Day in and day out, the president has respectfully listened, accommodated, engaged in conversation in a very informed way and he is the president of the United States," she said.  "I know he’s busy. I myself am almost too busy to continue listening to some of the things that are going on in that room. So I know he must be very busy. But he has treated everyone there with great dignity. The only thing I hope he doesn’t ask us to do is go to Camp David. That goes beyond the pale. Driving down the street for these meetings is one thing --"

Yet it took all that patience to pass obamacare WITHOUT READING IT.

[DailyBail]

Why read when you can trust the lobbyists writing the bill...

[Sagebrush]

Todays politicians consider reading, trust, and the truth as unnecessary inconveniences. Most of them don't give a damn how a bill is written as long as it's at least 2000 pages. That way the sheeple won't read it ether and realize how bad they're about to be screwed. Again, and again, and again.
Poor sheeple, screwed to death and never kissed

Is she a joke, she better go read the book of Job and find out what kind of person he was. Obama can not even start to compare. He has none of the charteristics of Job, God's man. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.

This made me laugh!!!

Republicans are stalling the debt ceiling talks because Obama is black

that is a great link canuck...thanks...

[Norman]

In response to the link Canuck provided, I was somewhat taken aback with her in our community, because he's black. If he was of Indian father, white mother, then he'd be called a half breed. I'm not trying to be racist in my comment, though some may think so, just pointing out a fact of life. That said, "O" has scammed the people, but he's being well paid in the process. So, I wonder just how much those people in the community are going to feel when the bills start coming due for his screwing the American public, of which they are a part of too. Oh, and for those that attained the so called middle class due to their hard work, only to be included with those losing their retirement, homes, savings, to become homeless, poor (again), are they going to support the flim flam man?

[DailyBail]

Nothing racist in your comment norman...

Now T.D., I'd be willing to bet that you could pull some serious $$$ at the comedy club with those lines. Must be from your day job, that you get the inspiration. I just drove the cats out of the house laughing at your prose. Is life great or what, being able to make people laff during these times takes a talent. Bravo to you, as I go to bed with a big shit eating grin from ear to ear.
