Obama says Banking “my committee”, not on it

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. In Israel, Obama tried to claim a little credit for work on a bill done by the Senate Banking Committee — on which he does not serve:

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.

For some reason (can't imagine why) I don't see these gaffes by the young guy

being reported widely. I would guess it would get folks off message.

My fault, didn't see Nonno's post. I apologize.

Now they're saying it was a misunderstanding of what he really meant to say. In other words "Obama misquoted himself out of context."

IMO neither McCain nor Obama are packing a full sea bag.

Its a mystery how either of them ended up running for President.

As for Gaffes, all of McCains are major news stories and all of Obama's are just small mistakes or misspeaks.

The media decides what we will hear good about the candidates and thats all Obama, all the time.

Although that may be changing soon.
