Pelosi's Audacious Claim: Obama Has More Patience Than Biblical Job
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that President Barack Obama has shown a “level of patience” in debt limit negotiations with congressional leaders that does not compare to the biblical figure Job, known as the “Man of Patience.”
“I want to commend the president – I have never seen – Job is no place compared to this president in terms of patience,” said Pelosi at a press briefing on Thursday. “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 --”
Pelosi went on to describe Camp David as a place where the president should be able to study rather than hold meetings like the current debt limit negotiations.

That's quite a step down from 'Messiah'.
The only thing Obama "studies" is the ground underneath his golf ball.

And he will still get that wrong since he has not-so-good scores as well as taking forever to play.

When he sits in a meeting, its not patience, it's cluelessness. Not knowing what to do next appears to be patience.

She's a barracking idiot.
I'm making a word re-definition not seen since Battle Star Galacta began using "frack" as a substitute for John F*'in Kerry. I think "barack" works very nicely and won't offend the censors.
Bracking Pelosi!
I know it's not right... It's not a word that comes naturally to me... But that woman is so dispicable! She doesn't even have time to think about the budget, you know... I don't think she should be in congress.

Ok, what is this left coast femenasty doing that she can't listen to the meetings? We all know that it can't be anything constructiave or important, that would go against her nature, she is a democrat after all! And she seems to be selling our Dumbass in Cheif short comparing him to Job. He is after all the MESSIAH according to the MSM, he can walk on water, heal the sick(Obamacare), and part the sea with a fart! So we need not worry, if we have a debt crisis, he can just MIRACLE it fixed if we have faith in him!

She and the president are too busy to listen to what's going on? Too busy to do the job that WE'RE paying them to do? If any of my employees tell me they're "too busy" to complete a task I asked them to do, I REPLACE them! Why those idiots in San Francisco keep voting her in is beyond me. Oh--that's right, it's San Francisco!
And, I wish liberals would stop pulling Bible references out of their a$$ to make a point. From them, it just sounds glib.
