He'll change his position as soon as the airplane leaves Israeli airspace.

Being so reactionary is making you lose credibility.

Are you saying I'm wrong? He's flip flopped within hours before, so it isn't reactionary to say he'd do it again.

Just saying you're awfully consistent in your reactions to Obama.

Yes, I am. The world needs to know the truth about him.

Seems he doesn't even know what committee he serves on. Later in that same press conference:

Quote:
Obama continued:

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.

But Obama is not a member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. 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.

Whores all of them, gladly bending over to gain needed votes.

Will we ever get a quality choice from any party?
