Obama: We 'Need a Lot of Prayer' On Budget

Today while touring the Wat Pho Royal Monastery in Thailand along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, President Obama commented that any budget deal would require prayer. “We’re working on this budget,” he told a monk, “we’re going to need a lot of prayer for that.” Obama later expounded on this brilliant exegesis of the fiscal cliff: “I always believe in prayer. If a Buddhist monk is wishing me well, I’m going to take whatever good vibes he can give me to try to deal with some challenges back home.”

Or the President could actually be the President and show some leadership rather than relying on “good vibes.”
