Obama holds his yarmulke on with the sheer force of his charisma. Yarmulkes have been known to leap off of other people’s heads in his presence.
I’ve seen black people walk up to each other and say “My Man” or “My <N word I can’t say coz I’m white>”
I’m assuming they’re not implying actual ownership, just a degree of trust and familiarity.
So perhaps it was in the same context when he said it was “His” committee ?
Especially if they did just pass his bill.

Now see, this is a funny Obama joke! 
You would think that would make him somewhat unpopular in Israel, though.

Senator Obama’s words are disgusting. I for one don’t want a president who occasionally misspeaks.

Ziiiing! I hate to be any kind of party to partisan bickering but this really needs to be pointed out to Bush/McCain supporters when they try to score cheap points this way on Obama.

Since no one else has, I’m going to step up as an Obama fan and thank Mr. Moto for having the grace to apologize and retract. Too few on either side of the debate do that these days.

…ditto. (Although of course I can’t vote!) Good retraction, nicely done.

Wait a minute! Did you just steal a Chuck Norris joke?

Well, actually…yes. (Well, I do, anyway, though I don’t wear that type of big-ass, high-sitting yarmulke–so totally not my style.) I’ve seen people wear them without clips or pins or any other “adhesive” tools with no problem. Especially if it’s not a windy day.
Oooooh. I can’t pass up the opportunity.
Mr. Moto lied in The BBQ Pit thread Obama lies in Israel speech.
The lie was actually in the thread title itself. Mr. Moto claimed that Obama lied in his Israel speech. Actually, it is apparent that Obama misspoke. Nevertheless, {b]Mr. Moto** lied when he said that Obama lied.
And just when everything was looking interesting, Mr. Moto had to ruin it all by admitting his mistake and apologizing.
And I looked up into the sky and saw a light…

Did he make that statement from the Iraq/Pakistan border?

No, from the 57th state he visited.
