(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.

I fear for our country and my beloved grandson...sigh! :(
Next thing you know he’ll be telling us about corkscrew landings under fire....
Well, what do you expect from Clinton (Universal) Network News (Television)?
Excuse me? He did what to Robin Hood?
Oh, neither is Obama on any Subcommittees .
“Banking Committee, Armed Services Committee, whatever..it’s one of those commmitees in the Senate..the point is I’m gonna be uh President..and uh you’ll all worship at my ah feet.”
Well he is a LIEberal!
“No, he “misspoke””
He seemed to go out of the way to make that false point. Emphasized it. It wasn’t a slip of the tongue.
Hillary is waiting in the wings.
The cue is coming.
One of those guys who wrote stuff all over his body when he had to take an exam.
But when he adds the “which is my committee” - when it isn't....well, the guy is just deluded.
Like Hillary’s Bosnia “gaffe.” Both pathological liars. Obama has diarrhea of the mouth and can’t help himself.
With only a few months of walking around time on the Senate floor before he started his 100%-all-the-time campaign, he likely didn't know which Senate committees he was a junior member of and probably never showed up for any meetings anyway.
It is perfectly understandable if he's a bit confused. We should get off his case. It's not like anybody expected anything of him up there or like he has the gravitas of Teddy Kennedy, Chuck Shumer, Leahy, Reid, or any of the other dozens of worthies who infest that Chamber.
On the contrary. It's a bright mark on your resume if you don't hang around that place! Besides, he's running for President - not Senator. "Senator" was only his temporary job and he showed good sense by not ever showing up.
Sheesh! Get a life, People!
Give the guy a break. He’s probably still a little rattled from all that sniper fire he took in Kosovo.
Oh, wait a minute... Never mind.
Need to cut him some slack. After all he’s just an affirmative action “feel good” creature to give liberals a sense of self satisfaction and superiority. He doesn’t need a brain.
He had a lot of time to ponder himself as a kid. He had no strong “father” figure and he made a world of his own where he could be whatever he wanted to be. I'm sure he's optimistic, charming, verbose, and did I mention his smile?
What he will be as POTUS is ineffective. He will always see both sides of the debate and he will never be able to decide who is right. He's sacrificed his own opinions to make his dream come true — he wants to be the first American Black President — he'll leave the details of what he accomplishes to his handlers who will tell him what to think and what to push because he only wants to show the world how wonderful he is.
There's nothing wrong with any of it, if he were just a guy who wants to work in not-for-profit charities. The problem lies in that his decisions will affect the world. As the saying goes, “When America sneezes, the rest of the world catches cold.”
This is no gaff. This is an OUTRIGHT LIE. And HE KNOWS IT’S A LIE.
He thinks so little of the Israelis that he thinks they won’t bother checking or are too stupid to understand. Arrogance is painless...
He is the world. He owns it all.
