Obama Says He's On Senate Banking Committee: They've Never Heard of Him
The Patriot Room ^ | July 23, 2008 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 07/23/2008 7:00:18 PM PDT by Bill Dupray

Video. This one is a little unnerving. Either we’re missing something, or Obama needs medication and some quality time with a psychiatrist.

Wow...I would love to hear him try to explain his way out of this one...

I don’t see how it’s possible...

Obama has his universal pass.

Facts will not matter until after way too much damage is done.

C’mon FReepers, we can’t criticize the messiah. After all, that would be racist.

Kerry in 04 had to ‘borrow’ accomplishments of others, too. He had been in the Senate 19 years and had written a total of 4 bills and 4 resolutions.

Obama didn’t accomplish a whole lot in his 140-some days as a US Senator before his announcement to run for president.

[Maybe O can be president for 3 months and then run for King of the World.]

The guy has actually spent so little time in Washington doing the job he was elected to, he might not know what committees he's assigned to. He has ‘staff’ for that mundane stuff. ;~))

Honestly, this is getting borderline obscene. If McCain would have stated something like this, we’d be hearing about how he’s a doddering old fool for days.

I don’t know why they just don’t come out and say “We are endorsing Obama, and we want to let you know that our coverage reflects the we are fully behind his campaign.”

Maybe “On” was slang for “on their backs”, “riding them”, etc?

How much of a stretch to make that claim? Probably too long.

Padding the very thin resume.

Or, he's under the influence of HOPEnosis.

Maybe we will be lucky and Germany will keep him and elect him Chancellor. Lightning strike twice?

So sad, yet funny, he’s beginning to believe the same BS that he expects others to believe.

I heard a caller on Mark Levin’s show say he called Obama’s office and they told him that Obama is not on that committee and that he had simply “misspoken.”

Would that be similar to calling yourself the president when you are not, and saying you misspoke?

Three rules for politicians (especially Rats) to follow when they are caught in a lie or embarassing gaffe:

1. Deny
2. Deny
3. Repeat #2 and #3.

“C’mon FReepers, we can’t criticize the messiah. After all, that would be racist.”

yeah, racist, and what’s that other term he is so fond of?
Deplorable.
It is deplorable and it is part of the typical politics of the past.
A distraction from discussing important issues that really concern Americans.

Is “misspeaking” a word with the same meaning as “to lie”, “confabulate”, “a canard”, “sofistry”, “to prevaricate”? I do not know how I misspeak when I make up statements out of whole cloth. “I sit on the Senate Banking Committee”, is ‘misspoken’ when one says, “I sit on the Banking/Savings and Loan Committee”, or “I sit on the Monitary Committee”. He does not, has never sat on the banking committee, yet it is assigned as ‘misspeaking’ to try to inculcate in the mind of the American public that he sits on a committee and that committee creates an impression that he has studied and has a level of expertice in that subject matter, which he does not have and has never had. That is a lie, not a misstatement. The democrats are masters of the euphemism, a euphemism representing something other than what it really is. The primal and supreme tool of the democrat is the lie.

When Hitler became Chancellor he was 2 years younger than Obambi is today.

He was appointed to the committee by the same people who gave him his Professorship in Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago.

The Dum-bama Banking Committee. Hahahahahaha!

Oh yes, the Dumbama Banking Committee— they can print their own money I suppose, a secret organization that can buy some ‘big carrots’ for Iran's goats. Then they can use his banking committee funds to give our our fighting men, women, and ‘don't asks’ a chance to give Iran's ‘big drum sticks’. I mean, this is no ordinary banking committee; maybe they have some of the currency plates Clinton sent overseas [if I recall, Clinton outsourced money printing-- 'smart' move]. Sure, he should offer a few of the ‘less big’ carrots and ‘less big’ drum sticks to our war heroes for ‘wasting their lives’.

Remember now, Dum-bama is, uh— uh, oh-uh, “clean” and-uh “articulate”. He honors Veteran's Day, or uh, is it ‘Memorial Day’? He honors those ‘wasted lives’ for ‘helping reduce violence’.

So yes, uh, Dum-bama might remember uh— to offer a few ‘big carrots’ and ‘big drum sticks’ to the loved ones of those ‘wasted lives’. And his good friend, Tony, can get some big carrots too. But don't put any big carrots near Chris Matthews’ leg.

In another clip of Obama that I heard yesterday, I think on Mark Levin, he used the phrase Paramont importance when he meant paramount importance. Paramont is a film producer.... I wish I knew the exact clip. I was in the car at the time and couldn’t write it down. It was from this overseas trip and he was talking about Iran and Israel, I think. The gaffe was very clear.

The Obama Banking Committee has a special announcement:

“I ... uh ... oo ... uh ... “

Just as soon as he articulates, for he IS articulate:

“I ... uh ... oo ... uh ... “

The Obama Banking Committee will announce a special offer for those who suffer with asthma— breathalysers, inhalators, and insulators:

“I-ya ... uh ... oh-ah ... “

This has been a special announcement by the ever-articluate Obama Banking Committee.

“I-ya ... uh ... “

Think of a promoter who gets a take from the advertising revenue. Obviously he wants the fight to go 12 rounds or more, even if he has to get into the ring and fight alongside the weakling himself.

Wish I could find a clip of Rick James on Dave Chappelle’s show saying, “Cocaine is a hell of a drug.” Certainly seems to have done a number on the Obamassiah’s brain.
