Obama Claims He's Visited 57 States

At least three of them were psychedelic states.
Priceless!
But was his wife proud of any of the extra 7 states?
If President Bush had said the same thing, you would never hear the end of “How stupid is he, he thinks there are 58 states.” {superior laugh}
In a word, we're screwed!

Except that he’s had trouble counting states before, and no other candidate would be cut any slack for making these mistakes.
47...57...what’s the difference? I mean, when you never salute the flag with its 50 stars you can’t be expected to know these things.
Sheesh.
Remember he said that 10,000 people were killed by a tornado when it was actually 12 people, and now this.
If he's elected President it will be more of the same...an inexperienced and unqualified wannabe Marxist who makes one verbal gaffe after another.
You got that right. Hopefully Rush has the audio.
I wonder how Dan Quayle feels when he sees these guys get a total pass for this stuff.
Just kidding.
Obviously he simply misspoke. But what the hell does he mean his staff wouldn't let him go to Hawaii? That's his home state isn't it? I'd tell my staff to stick it where the sun don't shine.
But then, I'm a leader.
yuk yuk
yeah bush is an idiot and this guy’s a jeenius, huh!
Obama Husein Islamic shit head
For the first time in my adult life I am truly embarrassed to be an American.
One time in my youth whaile at the local bar with friends someone bet that I could not name all the states. I drew up a list. it had 51 states. after an hour eveyone gave up looking for the 51st state on my list.
If he would have worn that flag lapel pin then he could have counted the stars before he spoke.
But I'll bet he's lying about THAT.
Flying over a state does not constitute "visiting" it.
Giving the Dimmi no credit, even I come up shy of 57. 50 states Hussein refuses to acknowledge as worthy of a salute, and some places that have delegate representation at Stalinist Headquarters in Colorado in August, Wash. DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands. 54. Maybe Osama considers Chicago a separate state. Still short.
yitbos
He thinks there's 60 states! He's visited "57 with one left to go" - and then, oh, there's also Hawaii and Alaska.
This may sound like a little slip - but the man knows so little about the country he wants to rule - he doesn't even know how many states there are!
obamama says McCain has 'lost his bearings' = it seems that obamama has never had any.
We need to make sure Hannity et al runs with this...it may semm a little thing, but it is NOT.
Remember the rule of thumb the media uses for airing something: they have to get a certain level of emails/calls/FAXES on a given thing to cover it -
So let's get 'em going...
hannity@foxnews.com
ElRushbo@eibnet.com
oreilly@foxnews.com
and all the rest
live links next post
You know. The ones where he sings about all the places he's been.
"I been everywhere man...."
You won’t believe who actually covered this...
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/05/barack-obama-wa.html
Well that is clever of him! Could he tell us which ones they are?
He might have been thinking 47 but he engaged his mouth and lets hope he keeps it up..
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/05/barack-obama-wa.html
The Los Angeles Times!!!
And funny comments to boot - which are always more devastating - and then this:
He said, ""I hope I said 100,000 people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It's a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh." At that point, an aide cut him off and ushered journalists out. Before he could mis-speak again?)
Oh, and as far as Hawaii voters are concerned, they're probably delighted to learn that Obama's campaign staff doesn't think that tiny state can justify an appearance by his eminence, even though he did a lot of growing up there. Or maybe because he was there.
Let's see what they do with that in the Honolulu media
and what's with his aide cutting him off and rushing him out of harms way? Is he loosing it?
It would just end up on a "Best of Bush" blooper video on YouTube and Letterman along with his many other slips.
I'm certainly against Obama, but come on, this is very small potatoes. (Or is that potatos, Mr. Quayle? Heh).
Do you have a link to the other time(s) he's done it?
We should run around calling him “Odumba,” or something similar. He sure does frequently come across as an idiot, and turn about is fairplay.
LOLOLOL. Sometimes it has to come from the heart.
Call him O-baobab, sort of an African shrub.
Obama must be like the Steve Martin routine when he goes to a strip club in Vegas and yells out, “Wow! Look at the tits! I bet there must be...57 tits up there!”
American Samoa makes 55, the “democraps abroad” make 56. Even if he meant places that select delegates, Barry Hussein is still off by one.
I think it was a gaffe.
Obama was referring to the 57 member states in the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

Politico says, “Did I miss some recent colonial expansion?”
haha! priceless:

I can’t stand Jay Leno, but for some reason my husband and I watched the monologue part of his show one night last week. He referred to a comment that Obama had actually and then made some stupid joke about the president’s allegedly not understanding the meaning of one of the words. A few jokes later he made reference to the rumor involving Roger Clemens and some singer who was a teen when they met. The joke had Clemens saying the relationship was platonic, only Leno, who apparently is so much smarter than Bush, pronounced the word “platonic” and “plutonic”. Once could be attributed to a slip, but Mr. Brilliance actually mispronounced the word twice.
Playing stupid "gotcha" games because someone mixes up their words is the stuff that leftists do.
We really are down the drain if we can't bring the conversation to the issues. Perhaps it just takes too much effort. Perhaps people really are dumbed down to the point where they want bumper sticker slogans and "gotcha" games.
If so, we are finished. It's only a matter of time.
I lose a little more faith in the general public (including my fellow conservatives) each day.
“And so for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination”
My point exactly. Thanks.
But let us remember the day before Obama said McCain was “loosing his bearings”. If your going to say opponent is loosing it, you better not say anything stupid for a few days after you say it.
He meant he tried 56 kinds of barbeque sauce and now needs Heinz 57.
It's all just political sniping B.S. I hate it. Much ado about not much.
this is very telling, there are 57 states of islam. he is not ignorant to his own culture and religion.
this nation is doomed if he wins.
