Lunch Break: Pelosi in awe of Obama’s “Biblically superior” patience
by LauraLoo
Nancy Pelosi gets more delusional as time passes. Listen to her pronouncement about how President Obama – the same man who in hostility walks out of his own meetings but runs toward frequent taxpayer domestic and international vacations - has patience “Biblically superior” to that of Job.
Is she joking?! The Bible chronicles that Job suffered the loss of his servants, his cattle, his sons and daughters, his home and his health at the direct testing of Satan.
According to the latest Gallup poll Obama is currently 8% behind the “Republican candidate.”

That isn’t “any” Republican candidate, it’s “generic” Republican candidate. As in, just the R, not the candidate him or herself, along with whatever baggage they might have. If Ron Paul or Sarah Palin won the Republican nomination, for example, you can safely bet that they would not be leading Barack Obama by 8 points.
Princess Pelosi, you need to cut down on the botox. Listening to you makes it apparent that it can cause brain damage.
Obama’s got all the patience of a hungry two-year old.
Yeah, so much more patient than Job. You know, all of his children died, and he lost all of his property, he is in awful physical pain and his wife is nagging him to quit being so patient. Yup. A president listens to concerns expressed by others. He sits through these meetings. The president engages in an informed manner.
Wait… wasn’t that somewhere in his job description?
Joan – you are correct- “generic” candidates typically run much higher than the actual candidates.
Regardless – Obama is definitely vulnerable in 2012, though the GOP needs a decent candidates and needs to figure out how to save face in the debt debate.
Even though O is behind by 8% (should be 28%) against a generic Repub no one is taking it for granted that he is not viable. Team Obama; i.e. the usual suspects in the MSM and the creepy George Soros have not yet gone full court press in promoting his candidacy. When they do it will be a thing to behold. His performance in this debt situation and his walking out in a huff (unpresidential and immature) from the talks has shown a lot of people how weak he is. God forbid we get into a crisis (ala Kennedy and Cuban missile crisis) with O at the helm!
Pro-lifers do not hate Obama, as some here have charged. There is probably no way of proving it but my guess is that a lot of pro-lifers pray for Obama. I wonder if the same could have been said about those who despised Bush. In addition to being the most pro-abort president we have ever had–worse yet than even Clinton–Obama is simply the most ill-prepared chief executive we have ever had.
Jerry – you don’t think Taylor was less qualified?
A couple of points:
– The polls are clear that the debt situation is being laid on the GOP – if things go badly, they will bear the brunt of it (many GOP leaders have stated this).
– I think both Obama and Bush had people who both hated them, and prayed for them. This is not unique to either man.
– Obama has not been the best President ever at this point – but he hasn’t been the worst. I fail to see how McCain being elected would put us in much of a different situation at all. Greece would still be Greece – the Euro would still plague the markets – the housing situation would still have been in a free fall. I think things would be remarkably the same (though there would be a Democratic controlled Senate and House).
“Pro-lifers do not hate Obama, as some here have charged. ”
Uh, I think I have seen people say he is for Satan, or working for Satan. Does that not count as hate?
JackBorsch: Why would it count as hate?
Define hate. See whether it includes claiming that someone works for Satan.
I’m not saying I think they’re right, or that it’s a great thing to say. But “hate” is becoming a meaningless word nowadays.
Definition of HATE
1
a : intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury
b : extreme dislike or antipathy : loathing <had a great hate of hard work>
From Merriam-Webster. I don’t see the comments about Obama working for Satan as anything but hateful. I mean, you can disagree with his policies, condemn his attitude, and argue against him all you want. But acting like he has some direct line to hell is just really over-the-top, IMHO. Extreme dislike indeed.
I don’t understand why any hatred at all is implied. Seriously. You’ve made no rational connection to hatred.
If a person’s theological outlook ends up implying that Obama works for Satan, hate has nothing to do with it. A flawed theological outlook probably.
Seriously, I don’t understand why many folks don’t understand that merely because they, themselves, find something offensive and cannot imagine anything animating it other than hatred, that therefore (on the basis of their lack of imagination) nothing else but hatred could be the animating factor.
The irony is that labeling unknowns as hatred is a case of aversion deriving from fear.
“…aversion deriving from fear.”
Hmmm, that would make me hateful for thinking comments like that are hateful? Maybe, but I don’t think I hate anyone at all. I just don’t think I will ever be able to understand the demon-hunting attitude that some religious people have. I hate it or them, it just honestly baffles me and makes me nervous to be around those types. What else is it besides hatred? Is Satan not the most hated and evil figure in Christianity? To say someone is deliberately working for such an evil figure, what other motivation is there?
Um…you’re kind of illustrating my point. You’re trying to imagine — as if holding gratuitous judgment of them in abeyance is only possible in the case that your imagination is successful in contriving possible alternatives.
No. If you don’t KNOW someone is motivated by actual hatred, you don’t claim they are. When it comes to people’s motivations, the possibilities are not limited to what you happen to be able to imagine.
You do realize that “I have no idea what’s going on in their heads” is a sane and respectable response when, um, you actually don’t know what’s going on in their heads. Right?
You have no obligation to render a maximally descriptive judgment, but in general it’s good form to avoid misrepresentation on the basis of things inside your head, not theirs.
I see your point.
I would like to understand it, though. The only explanation I usually get is “Well, look at what he is doing!!!!!” or some form of the same idea.
So, I have no idea what is going on in their heads. ;)
rasqual: “…“hate” is becoming a meaningless word nowadays.”
Was it not yesterday you asked where I got my “hate” from in regards to Bachmann?
I guess I should have replied that you were talking meaningless shenanigans!
Isn’t Obama himself a generic candidate? I mean, just what is it he has done or said to make himself noteworthy as either a candidate or political leader?
Kevin – I think you might be trying to be funny, I’m not sure – the “generic” means unnamed – so people typically associate the best qualities of a party without the blemishes an individual brings – which is why “generic” polls higher than individuals.
Gee, some say he is satan. lol
