How inexperienced is Barry Obama? He’s accomplished so little in his short political career (other than spreading a lot of hopeiness and changeiness) that he’s actually resorted to just making shit up:

Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don’t have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds. Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon.

Except for one simple little thing, Barry…you’re not a member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.

OTHERS:

John at Power Line:

Obama just made that up so he could count the committee’s action as one of “my deeds.”

If committed by a Republican, this would be a gaffe of historic proportions. Even a Senator as inattentive to his duties as Obama certainly knows what committees he serves on. For him to fabricate the claim, out of whole cloth, that the Senate Banking Committee is “[his] committee,” strikes me as another sign of Obama’s megalomania. That, plus more evidence that he is totally at sea without a teleprompter.

Ed Morrisey at Hot Air:

Maybe now we know why Barack Obama never called a meeting of his subcommittee on European relations to discuss the NATO effort in Afghanistan.  Apparently, Obama is confused about his own committee assignments.

Even the ‘tards at Wonkette see through the bullshit:

Maybe he meant to say he’s on the SENATE LIARS COMMITTEE where he passed a bill about MAKING SHIT UP.

And my favorite comment at Wonkette: “Barry was misheard. He’s on the Hamas banking committee.”
