Sheila Jackson Lee: Obama a 'Perfectionist,' Cruz Needs to 'Read a Little More'
Breitbart TV ^ | October 20, 2014 | Staff

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Wolf,” host Wolf Blitzer sat down with Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) to ask her if she could confirm a Saturday report from The New York Times that claimed President Barack Obama was “seething” at administration officials for their handling of the Ebola response.

After replaying a clip of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) calling for greater presidential leadership on the Ebola response, Blitzer asked Jackson Lee if she had been in touch with the White House.

“You probably saw that story in The New York Times on Saturday saying the president was, quote, ‘seething’ because he thought that his team did not do, initially, a good job, especially when that Liberian showed up at the Dallas hospital and the fallout that followed after that.”

“Have you been in touch with the White House?” Blitzer asked. “Was the President seething at his aides?”

“Well, let me say this, the President is a perfectionist,” Jackson Lee began. “He’s had a mountain of trials and tribulations from international to domestic. He wants the American people protected and I would venture to say that he was clearly not happy with the response that should have been more immediate.”(continued)

That is Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) not Rep. Lee. They are somewhat hard to tell apart, aren’t they?

Delusions are usually associated with dementia, but some are demonic influences on the mind.

In a way he is a “perfectionist”; he wants a “perfect” society. Not one we would consider perfect of course but rather one with a distinct ruling class and a distinct slave class much like was common in Europe in the middle ages....

Yes, there have been many "perfectionists" throughout history: Robespierre, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot...

Where was this first reported at ‘The Onion’ or ‘Weekly World News’? Sheila Jackson Lee telling us Ted Cruz needs to read?

SJL telling Cruz he needs to read more is akin to my dog giving me brain surgery instructions....

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Sheila Jackson Lee: Obama a 'Perfectionist,' Cruz Needs to 'Read a Little More'

I'm amazed Jackson Lee can read at all.

She can read, can't she?

DANG!

Yeah, and Rosie O'Donnell thinks he needs to lose some weight.
