Joe Biden jokes that he would nominate Obama for 'sainthood'

Vice President Joe Biden in a speech Friday joked that he should have nominated President Obama for “sainthood” after seeing his patience during the rocky rollout of the health law's new insurance exchanges.
In an address to the National Association of Community Health Centers policy summit in Washington, D.C., Biden told the health care workers in attendance that “we didn't help you much at the front end,” acknowledging the problems that plagued the healthcare.gov launch.
“My boss, my friend Barack Obama, is an incredibly patient man,” Biden continued. “I suggested, after going through the first couple weeks, I would nominate him for sainthood … that he kept his patience.”
In his remarks, Biden encouraged the audience to do what they could to help bolster enrollment in state and federal exchanges with under two weeks left before the end of the open enrollment period.
The administration says enrollment has passed 5 million through February, but initial targets aimed for 7 million enrollees. The numbers are also short of the 40 percent initial target for young consumers, who are needed to help keep costs down.
“You know, it got off to a slow start,” said Biden. “The president and I were as frustrated as anyone.”
“But it's basically fixed,” he added.

Hmmmm....doesn't one have to assume room temperature before Sainthood could be considered?

In Obie's case? Probably not. Don't forget, he got the Nobel Peace Prize on the strength of what he hadn't done but said he would do, so why not sainthood on the same premise?

If only.

Sainthood? Is that all Biden's got? Sainthood is demotion for Lord Hussein.
The American media already elected him Messiah in 2008, and the Black community in America worships him, literally, like a God. Who needs sainthood?
Sainthood is foe suckas...
