“Strategic patience” = “I’m not gonna do a damn thing”.

This is what you get when you vote for a community organizer.

A garage organizer would run this country better.

Only in this era, which will be looked back upon as the greatest effort to destroy the United States from within, do phrases such as “strategic patience”, not only make it into speaches, but are seen as ‘brilliant’ by the same libtards that voted the Obama into office. Pathetic!!!

What they mean is wait until Obummer is out of office so as not to alienate his anti-war base.
