Barack Obama wants to be president of these 57 United States

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."

I Googled "57 states" and it came up with over 21 million hits. I found this VERY INTERESTING LINK about 57 states on the 4th page.

Maybe Obama DIDN'T "misspeak" after all....

So the Harvard Law Review gig was affirmative action?

An excerpt:

“It’s obviously the highest-profile rehearsal dinner we’ve ever done!” Mr. Hermann said with a laugh. He and his wife served more than 100 guests Friday night at the Old Salado Springs Celebration Center, where Secret Service agents – omnipresent in Crawford this weekend – were “sweeping everyone down with metal detectors” beforehand.

The groom, Mrs. Hermann said, gave the funniest toasts, telling the president “he couldn’t wait to be the son he’d never had. He told funny stories about dating the president’s daughter.” She declined to say, however, what those were. “Everyone,” she says, “was respectful of the fact that this is a very private event.”

And so it was, with the White House releasing only a few pre-wedding details on Saturday. The bride wore a dress designed by Oscar de la Renta, earrings by Anthony Camargo and Nak Armstrong and picked designer Lela Rose to outfit her “House Party” – 14 women – and twin sister Barbara, her maid of honor.

Before more than 200 guests, confined to family and close friends, the couple exchanged vows in front of a Texas limestone cross, one the president himself requested. He plans to keep it at the ranch as a permanent monument.

Thank you sooo much Meek. I had totally forgotten about the wedding today, can you believe it?

I’ll enjoy looking at the links you provided.

If the worst we have to deal with is President McCain, I think I'll sleep OK at night.

You must live in a gated community or in Maine or Alaska. The rest of us are invaded with illegals, which will all become legal AND be able to bring over every member of their extended family (McCain-Kennedy). I foresee the end of the U.S. as we knew her. Sleep well then. Our dreams are all we'll have left, no matter who wins.

I think he might be more Muslim than nerd. I think it might be a Freudian slip. There are 57 Islamic States. That might be what he meant. He was educated in a Muslim school as a child. "The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is the second largest inter-governmental organization after the United Nations which has membership of 57 states spread over four continents."

The real reason why Obama doesn't wear a flag lapel pin is
that he can't find one with 57 stars.

[Merta]

Hey at least he might know what a flag lapel pin is, what E Pluribus Unum means and can contrast the stars to a leopard’s spots not a tiger’s.

And that was the “brilliant genius” who went against the “dumb idiot” Bush before making his remarkable career as a “Scientist” arguing on the “Global Warming theory”. Considering that the same guy got Ds in Science, and this is in college(I have better grades in Science than Al Gore and I am not particulary good on the subject), and a guy who is a politician, and has never been a Scientist in his life I would vouch that it is human nature for politicians to make flubs in logic. It is complete idiocy that makes Liberals, and the Media, take potshots at Republicans as being stupid and dumb.

Remember that it was John Kerry who warned us about “Hair Pollution” during the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

[Huck]

Nope. I live in New Jersey, which I believe has a pretty considerable influx of hispanic immigrants, legal or otherwise.

[Arrowhead1952]

Mark for later

[hershey]

Bingo.

[Rosemont]

Shocker...the affirmative action candidate is wholly unqualified.

[elfman2]

I’d make about 3 mistakes a day like that if I had to keep his schedule.

[cruise_missile]

I just wonder if he's going to make those mistakes at 3AM?
When those important calls come in.
Some thoughts and responses should be automatic, “knee-jerk”, reactions.

This isn't his first “numeracy” mistake. Some of them are orders of magnitude wrong.

[FormerACLUmember]

My guesstimate based on performance to date is that Hussein Obama seems to have on the order of in excess of 10 gaffes for every single McCain mistake.

Yet the democrat party controlled mainstream media will ferociously tout that any future McCain gaffe is a symptom of “early senility.”

The very same media will totally spike the endless Obama verbal errors, as they have done in this interesting story.

It looks like Hussein could not pass a basic US Citizenship Test.

[devere]

Obama lost his bearings, as he would say.

Obviously he meant to say 47, but the fact is the 47 year old guy had the first “senior moment”.

Thank you for the post.
