(CNN) – Responding to an Israeli reporter’s question Wednesday on his commitment to protect the Jewish state, Barack Obama pointed to a bill “we passed” in the U.S. Senate Banking Committee that tightens sanctions and authorizes divestment from Iran. “My committee,” he called it.
Except that he isn’t a member of the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.
“Just this past week, we passed out of the out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee - which is my committee - a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon,” Obama said at a press conference in Sderot, Israel.

Lied? For a Democrat, especially in the US Senate,
there is no such offense. Drunken driving, perjury,
murder, stolen FBI files, bringing down the US financial
system, treason, etc. ===> NO PROBLEMA.

Who knows what he will say if he ever got elected? As we have said before, without a monitor, he can’t talk or think.

Perfectly understandable. I mistakenly put myself on Senate committees all the time.

It’s not a gaffe, it’s a lie. There is a difference.

Technically, he is the Messiah, so every bill is His bill and every committe is His committee.

The RNC doesn't care!

Hopefully the Republicans are waiting till after the Dimwit convention is over.
More likely, they are waiting until the November election is over.
High road, etc.

Anyone wanna bet that Snopes will state that Obama’s claiming he was on the Banking Committee is “undetermined?”

This was my favorite post over on that site: "He is one of the few politicians that uses "we" because he considers his campaign EVERYONE's campaign. It's not all about him, it's about US. That's one of the reasons why I will support him. He made a gaffe, so what. McSame makes daily gaffes and the media has ignored him up until this week because of the CBS scandal."

‘...Barry Hussein is already President-select...’
didn’t you hear, Obama will appoint himself Leader for Life.....forget about that silly 4-8 year Presidential term...and, anyway, his term would be at least 10 years...sarc/on

At latest after the Auschwitz “gaffe” the last idiot should have realized what an buffoon Obama is.

Gaff’s don’t count if the media doesn’t cover them.
