With the threat of a government shutdown looming over a conservative battle to defund Obamacare, tensions on Washington are reaching a fever pitch. It was with that likely in mind when Nancy Pelosi opened up to POLITICO about Republican hatred of President Obama. She said she’s never seen anything quite like it before, and surmised that Republicans can’t stand Obama because he’s “eloquent” and “effective.”
Mike Allen asked Pelosi if the hatred is more “personal” than normal. Pelosi threw out this argument for why the GOP hates Obama so much.
“He has a vision for our country. He’s brilliant, has knowledge of the issues and judgment about what the right path would be, respectful of other people’s views, he thinks in a strategic way in how to get something done… and he’s complete eloquent to convey a message to the American people. That’s a package that they don’t like.”
She also added, “Look at me, I’m effective, I’m a target,” claiming she is also the target of a lot of GOP hatred because of how much she’s got done.
When Allen asked if she thought race factored into it, Pelosi simply answered, “You’d have to ask them.”
Watch the video below, via POLITICO:
Hey, Stretch, Conservatives can't stand Obama because he is a Maoist hell-bent on destroying the Republic
But he is effective. He means to destroy this country, and he's doing remarkably well at that task.
He’s the kind of black man you don’t feel afraid of.
I am convinced that wind bag’s staff loves watching the reaction here at Free Republic every time she says something like this. But then again, she just might be that stupid.
“Look at me, I’m effective, I’m a target,”...and dumb as a box of rocks.
is the effectiveness of a speaker gauged by the number of ‘umms’ a speaker can squeeze into a minute?
personally, I’ve always associated such hesitation with a lack of subject knowledge or burned out brain cells.
I believe Barry to have max’d out both
I used to she was just evil and expertly parroting the Democrat Party line, but maybe she IS delusional.
Wow - this corrupt hag make Anthony Weiner look rational.
And who can forget Joe Biden: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Hey Nancy, you know who else was “eloquent”, “effective”, and “had a vision for his country”?
Yeah, I went there.
I might not be afraid of him but I’d be a little creeped out if he were standing at the urinal next to mine.
Derp, derp
Pelosi is one of the original LSD crowd ... flashbacks, irrationality and paranoia can occur at any time.
Wow. It’s been awhile since I’ve smoked any weed. It must have really improved since those days.
Will someone fire up the time machine and take this insult to bitches back to the third century?
Or did she mean “ Irrelevant” and “Defective”.
I suppose keeping her head up Obama’s butt for the last 5 years has affected her mind. Probably because she and Steny Hoyer keep bumping heads , each trying to get their head further up his butt.
Nope.
Pelosi meant “ARROGANT” and “Effeminate.”
One more example of the Democrat's quest to finally overestimate the stupidity of the American voter.
Me thinks they still have quite a ways to go before they realize the objective of their quest.
On a positive note , by the time they are half way there quest to overestimate the stupidity of the American voter, they will have finally stumbled upon the Holy Grail, the Fountain of Youth, the Philosophers Stone and the End Of The Rainbow in the process.
