The Obamamessiah is far too busy campaigning to keep track of what his responsibilities in the Senate are to the American people. Perhaps that is why we have this latest little gaffe:
(see link for video)
Here’s the transcript:
This, this, uh, this past week we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to, uh, call for divestment from Iran.
The only problem? The U.S. Senate Banking Committee isn’t Obama’s committee. He doesn’t serve on it, nor does he serve on any of its subcommittees. Yet Mr. Smooth Operator over there effortlessly lied about his involvement with the committee. Why? To boost his credentials? To try and hide his lack of experience? To make himself look more serious on the threat from Iran? Who knows?
The thing is, it doesn’t matter why he did it. Either he lied, or he was mistaken. And if he was mistaken, then he still doesn’t get a pass. Do we really want a President who has no clue whatsoever what committees he serves on and what his responsibilities are? He either doesn’t care about the job he holds now or he has no grasp on how to successfully carry out his responsibilities as a Senator. It’s one or the other, and neither of those situations inspire much confidence in the man.
As Ed Morrissey points out,
Once again, Obama wants to claim credit for efforts on which he served no role. Either that, or Obama is such a dilettante that he has no idea on which committees he actually belongs. It could even be both. Neither gives any confidence that Obama has any grasp at all of his own job, let alone the one for which he’s campaigning. Maybe he needed a lot more than three years to get acclimated to national politics.
Of course, the Obamamessiah is way too important to leave us with just that. He also gives us this interesting little gem:
“Let me be absolutely clear,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said today at a press conference in Amman, Jordan. “Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain…administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.”
You know, I’m glad he pointed out that Isreal will always have a strong ally in Israel. Because I was having the worst suspicion that the Israelis were going to sell Israel out to the Palestinians and Hezbollah. But now that the Obamamessiah has reminded me that Israel will always have a strong friend in Israel, I feel so much better. That just makes so much sense. Whew!
Such a charismatic, intelligent man, eh? But let’s just all remember that questioning the Obamamessiah in any way, shape, or form automatically makes you a racist. So unless you want to be called a KKK racist, then you better just get in line for the Obamamessiah and not even bother fighting it. He stands for hope and change, and that’s all you need to know.
LOL! Bump for lurkers and FReepers to know more! :)
Actually, he thinks he is already president, so all committees are his.
This is great...we don’t even have to expose him for the fraud he is...he’s doing it all on his own!!
It was a cork screw landing — under intense sniper fire...to get that bill out of the committee — you would be rattled too, sshheeezzz.
Expose him all you like, or have him expose himself... well...
anyway, it will make not bit of a difference to the non-thinking, dhimmirat voting crowd.
this past week we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to, uh, call for divestment from Iran." Damn! And I thought I... 
was the king bullsh!tter!
Me thinks nObama will claim... 
his DNA is on the Senate Banking Committee's dress.. uh, bill!
You know, if you have a strong belief system in place, there are no worries about what you said. You don’t have to try and remember what you said. You just say what you truly believe and it will match what you said earlier.
Much, much easier way to go through life. Not having to remember every important comment you ever made, just say what you believe and it will be what you said last time, and the next time it will be the same.
Doesn’t work well for politicians that PANDER(say what they don’t really believe) for votes!
True...especially with the younger crowd. All of the wonderful celebrity role models are telling them to go out and vote (for democrats, no doubt). Now, whether they do or not remains to be seen, but the demensia is enough to make me want to drive my head through a wall...
This may sound harsh, but if I wasn’t absolutely convinced the Anti Christ would come out of Eastern Europe, I would have to pin the rose on Obamamessiah!
Apparently he has the ability to morph into Chris Dodd.. who knew?
Shuush.. Kingfish is busy getting hisself Honkyfied presently.. until he gets back home to get Blackimated again..
