The perfect companion vid to Jay Cost’s analysis this morning of how unusually, relentlessly partisan The One’s rhetoric has been as president, especially in his weekly YouTube messages. Oh, and also to Politico’s round-up of Democrats wondering why someone who’s so often touted as a brilliantly eloquent orator can’t seem to sell the public on anything except his own personal awesomeness. (Headline: “The ‘meh’ of a salesman.”) As usual, Nancy is eye-to-eye with reality.
Silver lining: A reporter asking a big-name Democrat why righties dislike Obama is almost always bait to accuse them of racism. She doesn’t take it. Second look at Pelosi?
Throughout a 50-minute interview on Thursday in her second-floor Capitol office, where the late Speaker Tip O’Neill used to receive supplicants, Pelosi was sharply derisive about the scorn Republicans have for this president.
“You know why it is,” she said. “You know why it is. He’s brilliant, … he thinks in a strategic way in how to get something done … and he’s completely eloquent. That’s a package that they don’t like.”…
Then she added a line that she has used before, that drives Republicans batty: “He has been … open, practically apolitical, certainly nonpartisan, in terms of welcoming every idea and solution. I think that’s one of the reasons the Republicans want to take him down politically, because they know he is a nonpartisan president, and that’s something very hard for them to cope with.”
“Practically apolitical” — the guy who couldn’t bear to cancel his speech Monday dumping on Republicans over the financial crisis while the rest of the country was waiting to see how bad the massacre at the Navy Yard would be. And while normally I’d cut her slack on grounds that she’s duty bound as a party leader to spout flattering nonsense about a Democratic president, I can’t believe she’d praise his strategic acumen after three solid weeks of White House idiocy on Syria. He had no strategy in first announcing the “red line”; he had no strategy on what to do if it was crossed; he had no strategy to win over reluctant members of Congress from both parties to support an attack; and he had no strategy to extricate himself from the whole mess until Putin laid one on his plate. Egypt is almost as bad: His “strategy” in dumping Mubarak was to realign the U.S. with the populists of the Arab Spring, and then when that turned predictably to crap under the Muslim Brotherhood, he didn’t know what to do.
The punchline is that it’s probably partly because Obama sees himself the way Pelosi does, as a brilliantly eloquent rhetorician, that he doesn’t take more care strategically. From the beginning, his politics has always placed the image of Obama the man as a uniquely inspirational, transformational figure at the core of Hopenchange, beyond any set of policies. And who could blame him? He got elected president by being a good talker; he won a Nobel Peace Prize for blathering on the stump about how he was going to do things differently internationally than Bush, the thought of which gets funnier every day. He gave a big speech in Cairo in 2009 and has pronounced upon the glories of ObamaCare near-weekly since 2010, so naturally those two things were going to work out for him. Strategy is important, sort of, but with The One throwing the full force of his brand behind those initiatives, they were bound to turn out well. And here we are.

No, we hate him because he’s black!
Ha ha...got your attention.
That’s what all the libs say. It’s not true.
We hate him because he is an idiot who is going to get a lot of people killed. Killed through war, through terrorism, and through his idiotic health plan.
He can support either Marxism or Leninism equally.
This is really from the Onion, right?
I’m sorry, reading the words of someone whose brain is pumped full of Botox is just unenlightening. She just doesn’t have anything intelligent to so and for the most part is incoherent in all of her speeches. Babble, rambling, politicizing and partisanship makes her unqualified for any government position
She WISHES we hated him because we thought he was eloquent and nonpartisan! LOL! We hate him (and her) because they are wrong.
If bamahh were Dan Quayle, if only.That is ire wise on the media’s reported intelligent quotient.?¿
His TelePrompTer may be eloquent but he can’t speak worth a damn without it.
I wonder can she get any more pathetic?
Agreed, he is nearly as eloquent and nonpartisan as Nazi Pelosi.
Pray America is Waking up.
Obama says Republicans gotta sit in the back of the bus:
Obama aid Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, “we can’t have special interests sitting shotgun.
We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us.
They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”

But didn’t Churchill target someone else’s country?
“Face it “. no pun intended, her last plastic surgery pulled the skin too tight and squeezed her brain.
Seriously? Pelosi is an absolute idiot, as are those who stuck the rest of us with her.
People like Nancy Pelosi are the reason Salem started burning witches.
Paul: We probably can’t get rid of ‘Obamacare’

Now I’ve tossed up my whole lunch.... thanks.
Nancy is one of the most practiced liars Congress has ever seen. It’s amazing what comes out of her mouth, like when she said she supports abortion as “practicing and respectful Catholic”. Nancy, you’re not Catholic, you’re not practicing your faith according to the Church, and you certainly aren’t respectful.
Her lies boggle the mind. She knows she does it, and likes it. It’s something perverse in her.
She thinks she’s smart. But she’s just corrupt.
