House Minority Pelosi leader “prays” Hillary Clinton will run for President in 2016

Ugh:

Nancy Pelosi is reaching out to a higher power to get Hillary Clinton to run in 2016.

“I pray that Hillary Clinton decides to run for president of the United States,” Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House Minority leader, said during a public appearance in Little Rock, Ark., according to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

“Nobody has been first lady and senator and now secretary of state,” she added. “Putting everything aside that she is a woman, she’d be the best qualified person that we’ve seen [in recent years].”

[…]

Think of the message it sends to women in the world — the most powerful figure in the world is a woman, and she also happens to be the most qualified for the job,” Pelosi said, according to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

“Most qualified” in what way? The “most qualfied” Democrat? Why is it important for the most “powerful figure in the world” to be a woman? Would she feel the same way if that “most powerful figure in the world” was Sarah Palin? Of course not.

I hate identity politics.

Sadly, ST, she will run and she will win.

I fear that Chris.. and trying
to put it out of my mind for the time being.

Neither one of them qualifies to be on any “A” list.. a “S…” list.. they both qualify.

….the Dems are feeling guilty because 2008 was “Hillary’s turn” – and they threw her under the bus in favor of Obama.

From an ideological perspective, there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between Hillary and Obama. They are both Marxists to the core.

“Most qualified” in what way? The “most qualfied” Democrat?

That’s setting a very low bar.

Hillary was qualified to be president (barely) only by comparison to The One.

What difference at this point does it make?

@Neo–You beat me to it. Once the Congressional hearings on Benghazi are concluded her a*s won’t hold shucks. The perverted pleasure such a scene will give me is indescribable.

Obviously, Nazi Pelousy isn’t playing with a 51-card deck, she doesn’t have a deck at all. Only a few in Congress (Lee and Reid come immediately to mind) can boast a lower awareness of reality than can she.

The “in recent years” is actually an insult to King Putt, unless Pelosi can’t remember anything before 2009 Which, I’ll concede, is entirely possible.

More to the point, exactly what makes Hillary the “most qualified” person? Being FLOTUS isn’t a qualification. As a lawyer in Arkansas, her one notable accomplishment was inventing the high-throughput paper shredder to get rid of incriminating documents. Can you name me one thing she accomplished as senator? Her tenure as Secretary of State has been a disaster, although much of the blame for that can be placed on Obama and his cat’s-puke collection of gaffes and blunders. At this point, she’s going to be remembered for one comment only, and Neo already nailed it a few comments back. Somewhere out there, there’s a GOP strategist who’s already worked up some devastating ads around that theme – if the party’s smart enough to use them.

Ya know, “dullard” is becoming a more and more apt to describe more and more members of Congress…

The only “praying” Nazi does is not “praying” but “preying.” She prey upon the low info voter, she preys on the weak-minded, she preys on the morally inept, she preys on those that can be flipped into believing socialism really can work if only run by the “right” people (of whom she just happens to be one, at least in her own weak mind [such as it is]), the list of her victims is nearly endless and, unfortunately, includes every American who believes in the Constitution and the rule of law because the people of her district have seen fit to keep sending that sorry excuse for a human being back to Congress continually, thus foisting her upon us and into a position of power.
