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."

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.

Osama has a peppering of Grey hair! . . . Or is he trying to look wise/older?

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.

If GWB had said this it would be breaking/leading news 24/7 for tow weeks. Whatta maroon...

McCain said this:

“I’m 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.

[steveo]

yeah I said tow weeks....

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

60 rhymes with 50.

[Global2010]

Could be.
Too many Pabst Blue Ribbons last night?

If he really wanted to appear un+elite+like he should of been filmed slammin back a 40 oz er of The Bull Schlitz Malt Liquor.

[Global2010]

Your half right.

[visualops]

LOL that article really ridicules him.

[Allegra]

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.

Allegra can cling to guns and religion until the “bitterness” passes. ;-)

[pandoraou812]

lmao!!!!

[Old Professer]

Now I know who he reminds me of every time I see him - “Did I do that!!!!?”

[Huber]

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