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."

Still...it is just a slip by a guy who has been campaigning hard.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's pick on him for everything he believes--there plenty of that to find fault with.

Indeed, but so are his voters.

I am afraid he is going to win.

Is this a Teresa Heinz moment or what?

Well, you'd have to forgive Teresa for having Heinz 57 Sauce on her mind.

Shape up troops...

B. Hussein Obama actually thinks there are 60 States.

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.

My God! This man shouldn’t be allowed to work as a White House gardener, much less be president.

Hell, when I was 10 years old, I could name all 50 states, PLUS the capital of each of the 50 states.

John Sidney should keep a list of all Obamas blunders so he can call them up when the press tries to make a production of something he misspoke about. I do recall that he mentioned the time Obama referred to the president of Canada when the press was bothering McCain about something.

Maybe he's counting Palestine, Mexico, Kenya, Cuba, Venezuela, Lebanon and Syria...

Bush has been ridiculed for years for the way he pronounces nuclear. A simple accent difference. Yet Harvard educated Obama, doesn't know the number of states in the country he wants to lead, and thinks he has to visit one more, then mentions two.Duh! Maybe there were some Teresa Heinz soaked raisins on his waffles. Obama seems so chummy with them now, perhaps he is using her recipe.

Do you feel “bitter” about this inadequacy?

Yes, and I am clinging to my gun and my religion.

I thought maybe he was joking until I watched the video. I don’t think he was. He thinks there are 58 states.

58 states then? (by Hussein’s math)

Yes it is 58 by his statement.

57 that he has visited and one yet to go.

This is why the Hildabeast hasn't dropped out.

And they call the GOP the Stupid Party.

Actually he thinks there are 60. He said one more to go and he didn't get to go to two of them, Alaska and Hawaii.
