"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

Never mind, I watched the video. You’re right. He was referring to the 58 continental states.

Oh great! That's all the proof Jerome Corsi will need to print another hundred articles about the impending North American Union.

I hate to stick up for the moron, but I think he meant to say 47 states and 1 more to go, meaning in the lower 48 and his staff wouldn’t let him go to those other 2 Hawaii and Alaska. But he is still a MORON!.

That mean old staff wouldn’t let him visit #56 and #57.

(Just watched the video).

Wonder what country he was talking about?

Was this picked up by any news outlet? So many questions; so far, no answers.

Sixty states. 57, and one to go is 58, he could not go to Alaska, 59, or Hawaii, 60.

How do Alaska and Hawaii feel about being a waste of time for Barry?

He said he had BEEN to 57 but what is the one he said he hadn’t been to yet? Also he said he hadn’t been to Hawaii and Alaska, so there are 60 states total. LOL!

Heh... it was the racists who ran those segregated schools in Chicago, or Indonesia, or Kenya, or wherever the Hell he claims to have grown up this week. Of course, we who cling to our guns and reject The Other will probably make too much of his apparent ignorance of the number of states, since “50” has been the correct answer since before Barry Hussein Obama was born.

Thanks Fred.

I agree, we all say silly things when we’re tired. Who hasn’t. More to the point, what has he actually done?

In the name of all that which does not suck...

I hope he was just trying to be funny. I’m sure he was just trying to be funny.

".....but I think he meant to say 47 states and 1 more to go,...."

Listen to the video again. He said 50 right off and then took a long pause before he came out with the 7 and then said he had one more to go.

“Wow...I must be a dumbass.
I can only name 50 of ‘em.”

At least you can use the excuse that you have been out of the country. I have been here the whole time and I can only name 50 also.

Kaycee, listen to the video again. He said he HAD BEEN to 57 and had 1 more to go. But they wouldn't let him go to Hawaii or Alaska. So the math adds up to 60 states in all.

“I think that’s total of 60 - 57 he’s been to, one more to go, plus Hawaii and Alaska.”

He must have leaked the fact that we added 10 states that were to be kept secret for national security reasons.

I've seen this from a lot of people who were junkies in their early years and cleaned themselves up. The brain damage is permanent even if you manage to clean yourself up later on. It's a good lesson for the kids.

That's not to take anything away from Obama for finally giving up the junk.
