Barack Obama Secretly Runs Senate Banking Committee!

Here’s our pal Barack Obama, saying that the Senate Banking Committee — “which is my committee,” he says — passed some bill about something. Problem is, he’s not actually on the Senate Banking Committee at all. Maybe he meant to say he’s on the SENATE LIARS COMMITTEE where he passed a bill about MAKING SHIT UP. This is significantly more important than John McCain saying the Surge caused things that happened before the Surge. [YouTube]

    The caption “Senator Obama: Jerusalem Will be the Capitol of Israel” is sooo true, only he will make sure Israel becomes a Muslim Jihad Jihad Dirka-Dirka State first.

  3. Well, since everyone in the world except McCain and Kristol KNOW that Obama is going to win the presidency, ALL the committees are technically his.

    He means the committee is his “bitch.” That’s why he texts it stuff like “i b ridin u ;0″

    RuperttheBear: Oh, man, I get those all the time but I was so confused!

    Faux News just reported this. Headline: Barak “Osama Bin Ly’n” Obama has just taken control of the U.S. Senate and U.S. Banks. They plan to retract story at 3:30 am EST. Stand by for more.

    Chris Dodd is Hussein’s pool boy.

    All your committees are belong to us!

    Barry was misheard. He’s on the Hamas banking committee.

  11. anabellum says at 4:08 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    obviously, Barry’s talking about his non-circulating Official Liberian coin certificate with an engraving of the Senate Banking Committee on the back/Phil Gramm on the front…

  12. Barry is Heir to the Whole of Creation; ergo, the Committee is his by default. As are my brothers and my sisters, the sun and the rain, the moon and the stars, the wind and the clouds, Snow White and the seven Dwarves, and all our collective balls.

  13. He mean “my committee” in the sense that he totally pwns that committee. Subtle distinction.

  14. Doglessliberal says at 4:17 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    sezme: the Committee is his bitch!

  15. wx insider says at 4:24 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    Didn’t you know..??? Only elitists own committees.

  16. problemwithcaring says at 4:32 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    He means he purchased them all with no-fee mortgage loans through Countrywide.

  17. You do realize that he probably just meant to say “my bill” not “my committee”, as he was the one who sponsored the bill, S.1430.

    http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN01430:

    But hey, don’t let me unbunch your panties.

  18. Jared: Bah. Our versions are shinier.

    He needs a nap.

  19. Just Like You says at 5:26 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    Jared: Hey, idiot. That’s not the bill that he’s talking about, considering that S.1430 hasn’t been reported out of a committee. In fact, it’s been stuck in the Banking Committee since July of last year. Oops.

  20. gurukalehuru says at 5:54 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    My committee instead of my bill, 57 States instead of 57 campaigns, the bomb (instead of bombs) that destroyed Pearl Harbor. Sure, I’ll forgive him, he’s Barack Obama but, nonetheless, he needs to tighten up his game a bit. Otherwise, he’ll start sounding like McCain.

  21. Canuckledragger says at 6:00 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    Chris Dodd is the Senate Banking Committee Chairman for the original fifty states.

    Barack Obama is the Senate Banking Committee Chairman for the other seven states.

    *fixed

  22. Canuckledragger: Perhaps Chris Dodd is Obama’s secret identity?

  23. Outstando says at 7:37 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    Barry and me
    Are a sight to see
    Little Barry makes three
    Itty bitty committee
    Yippee

  24. masterdebater says at 9:32 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    If he fucks up this election on some stupid slip of the tongue, I swear I am going to move to another country! I’ve heard that South Dakota place is nice.

  25. Cicada says at 11:32 pm, July 23rd, 2008

    Just Like You:

    Hey idiot:

    From CNN:
    An Obama spokesman tells CNN “it was his bill, not his committee,” referring to the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act that the Illinois senator sponsored and introduced in May 2007. The measure was then referred to the Banking Committee, and passed a vote of 19-2 on July 17.

    Assmunch.
