Quote:
"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."

The media went into sarcastic orgasmic overdrive because Dan Quayle spelled it “potatoe.”

Hanks eventually back-tracked on Bill Clinton, too. Just wait.

Alaska and Hawaii are two States, and part of the Heinz 57.

Of course not...do you think he would take in one of the United States???

His vacation was to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands...now that may be a U.S. Territory but they don't have representation in Congress and have no Electoral votes...

We’re adding states faster than we’re raising the price of a stamp.

I'll play this once... But be advised, comrade is crafty, he had to do it before his collar was yanked and the conservos united on his senile quip, (not because of Mc, but because Obama needs to be slapped around). This narcissist socialist loves attention and loves to agitate... Just like Rev. Wright and the set-up fiasco (after Axelrod told the press he hired PR for Trinity and Wright since press harassed them, btw... have you heard from Wright since Obama answered? And he has a book coming out.), we know in print both of them said they would have to separate later... what better than a distraction play fight, when worse news was out... deflection. We should ignore his little ops to say "Oops, i'm so human and one of you"/they're being racist/made into a mountain/distraction petty games, and keep throwing those facts out and demand answers.

Even our 'friends' (McMention) the democrats don't want a president who will not take criticism, deals with lobbyists/Abramoff firms, can't find his records or diaries, cares more for Arabs than his own (despite the rhetoric, real southsiders know), doesn't answer questions, lies and deflects... in their minds, it's you know who all over again.

Be advised, the minute that nomination is official... it's on. It will not be pretty, (shoutout to the moderates/cough/and ex-staffers from the campaign). Advice to the brother, he's young, crooked and well spoken, but not president material: He should watch his back, people around him are not what they seem... and his wife should watch his back... and vice versa. (for the Obama lurkers, make sure you don't leave that out).

You think they needed a therapy hotline after Gore... i'm talking suicides after they see who they almost put into office. Our brothers and sisters better come back to this century and use their brains/research skills, the 'at least we get screwed over by a black dem', will not work.

How do you explain (though I rash when mentioning Clintons), how a nobody could beat their beloved for decades, best prez ever, fem wife (supposedly), whom black America praised... with experience (no way our kind, but was ALWAYS their kind)? Most of them haven't read Obama's books (yet they love him and don't want to know, maybe it's me... but I want to know all about someone I admire especially if they may make history), checked his record or the archives of the Trib and Sun Times (they would see exactly who he was taking care of, it wasn't the 13th), he lies and tells different versions and they're spinning like Sufis, can't hear a word. No one wonders where those daily news reports (seemed like forever), of millions raised came from... individual oppressed voters? Nevermind the 20K, then 50, then 68, then 100, then 160, then over 200K he's had to give back (only when teeth were pulled and on paper). Now that I think about it, we need prayer and fasting on this one as well.

I think he’s counting “states of mind” too. That would be cocaine, marijuna, gay sex, Alaska, Hawaii, denial, lunacy, and one more to go, the state of loser.

Listen carefully, he says he's been to 57 States, "with one more to go", and his staff wouldn't allow him to go to Alaska and Hawaii. So that adds up to 60 States.

Indeed...and it wasn't from exhaustion, as some here are allowing as an excuse. Obama actually paused briefly before he said 57. You could see him searching his mental "files" for the correct answer, and he came up with 57, with one more to go, and his staff wouldn't "allow" him to go to Alaska and Hawaii. That's not exhaustion. That's either lack of education (despite his Harvard degree), or inability to absorb his grade school education. It's also the sign of someone who isn't much of a leader if he takes orders from his staff and not the other way around.

In short, the man is dumber than a box of rocks.

I still want to know who plucked him out of obscurity and has been paying for his ultra rapid rise up the political food chain.
