Obama incorrectly claims membership of Senate committee (Meglomaniac Gaffe Alert)

I think all the drugs are catching up to him.

I don't think he did drugs at all.

But I do believe that his mom caused him to O.D. on Stupid pills..........

The MSM gleefully lambasted Dan Quail over ever little slip. Obama? They ignore the 57 state stuff and the rest of his silly pontification....

[Eroteme]

He seemed to go out of the way to make that false point. Emphasized it. It wasn’t a slip of the tongue.

Exactly. First thing I noticed too.

Remember, this guy has 300 foreign policy advisors.
If I had 300 advisors prepping me before I appeared on Jeopardy, my mind would be so jumbled, I would confuse EVERYTHING. He has been taken over by his advisors because THEY know he doesn’t know much. He has Cliff-noted his foreign policy to the extent that he doesn’t even know what he is saying anymore. And that, I think, is a logical explanation as to why he isn’t really lying about this being his committee. He just knew that somewhere, he told to say something about a committee or subcommitee he chaired.

Yep, he does sound like a pathological liar. I have an ex-husband who used to lie like this, just slipping a little detail into the conversation, something to make him sound better than he really was. Obammy HAS to make himself bigger than reality because he knows that he really has no real experience to claim.

Senator Obama is turning out to be the Potemkin Candidate. Like the villages in the author's book and the false fronts in the USSR of the 40s and 50s, you walk through the door in a Potemkin Village and you're in an empty lot.

He's all for show. He's just about being POTUS. Everything he has done, from the church he joined, to the offices he's held, to the campaign for POTUS is all about his “image”.

Like the broken clock that is right twice a day, The Reverend Mr. Jackson may have been on to something — Senator Obama may not be the “Messiah” the Black American community is looking for. He may not be that “golden boy” all of us hoped and prayed would emerge as the result of all the money thrown into the civil rights movement. He may, after all, be just another pretty face. I'm glad he is getting an open microphone. It will give us all a chance to see who he is or isn't.

His plan to keep them safe is no doubt a large yard with a fence around it ... for their protection of course.
