 "It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, weve traveled to every corner of the United States. Ive 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."

    Watched a local interview here in Oregon.
Osama has a peppering of Grey hair!
Um Is this for real?
Or is he trying to look wise/older?
The grey hair IMO seemed to strategically speckled throughout his scalp.
De Fazio (gag) just gave his backing to Obama.

    I don’t see how it could be a political statement, unless he campaigned in the Northern Mariana Islands even though they send no delegates to the DNC — strictly speaking, they’re not truly “abroad”.
District of Columbia
Puerto Rico (has he been there yet?)
Guam
Virgin Islands
American Samoa
and his very favorite,
Democrats Abroad
The first 5 comes from crap like this littered throughout the United States Code:
(e) the term “State” means a State of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands;
(43 U.S.C. 2102(e))
— even though a higher authority (the U.S. Constitution) defines the term “State” in a completely different fashion.

    McCain said this:
Im going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.
and the drive-bys went nuts and will go nuts even though it's an honest statement about his expertise. Meanwhile, this dunce Obama doesn't have a clue how many states we have, but it will never be brought up by them. Or the Stupid Party.

    Oh, I know about the territories. I was making a joke. 
 After all, even if you factor in the territories (and I suspect he was not doing that), his math still doesn't work out right.

    I guess that he was tired from campaigning. Operation Chaos is taking its toll...
