Obama: I’m not familiar with that thing, but I voted on it anyway
Judgment and experience, my friends. From Michelle Malkin:
… Over the weekend, Obama also took a question about Hanford. Let’s underscore here that Hanford is not some tiny municipal dump. It’s the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site. Obama’s response? …
Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.
Well, at least he was honest about his cluelessness, right? At least he wouldn’t do something so stupid as to vote on the matter until he was familiar with the situation. Er, not exactly:
Section 3114 -
Directs the Secretary to submit to the defense and appropriations committees any reports received from the Army Corps of Engineers evaluating costs, schedules, and technical issues associated with the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant Project at the DOE Hanford Site.
Obama voted “aye” on the bill…but hasn’t a friggin’ clue what it means?
Barry O’s own web site even touts this vote. Hey, why not be proud that you voted on something that you haven’t the foggiest idea about, right? It was easy for him to do, since 94 of his colleagues voted on it. What a startling display of political courage there, Barry O!
Exit question: How many other times has the Obamessiah voted on bills with which he was entirely unfamiliar?

Slightly off the topic, was wondering if you happened to see this:
While we were bombarded by the media with images of Obama’s rock-star appearance, they fudged a couple of important details.
The New York Times showed the photo and noted that this was Obama’s “largest crowd of his campaign so far”. They also described the weather as, “unseasonably hot”.
CNN headlined, “Barack Obama: Achieving Rock Star Status in Oregon”
However, Obama’s adoring media failed to mention that the weather was pleasant and there were actual rock stars there performing a free 45-minute concert prior to Messiah taking the stage.
B. Hussein Obama – the best the media can manufacture.
