 "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."

    Didn’t he take a vacation in Hawaii not long ago during the election season?

    When I worked in Canada in 1999 then President Clinton visited Quebec. He opened his speech, “It’s great to be France...” The Canadian press was all over his gaffe but not one word did I ever see in the US press.

    Obama’s losing his bearing.

    Perhaps Herr Hussein Obama is adding Israel to the number?... Or is it the Palestinian territories instead? The way things are going we’ll be lucky to complete ten more years without becoming a colony of China and a territory of OPEC. Give the dolt a break, he’s misspeaking more without his teleprompter ... he’s visited a few states more than once, hence his ‘57’ remark.

    I think you are right. If you read carefully what he said, it was 57 and one more to go. Plus he didn’t get to go to Hawaii and Alaska.
Amazing. I need a new flag. Mine only has 50 stars.

    I is almost as if he thinks “AlaskaandHawaii” are one state by the way he moved his hand out there.

    57 States gives Michelle more real estate to not feel proud.

    If this were a Republican, say, President Bush or VP Quayle, we would never hear the end of this. Let’s see how the MSM treats this.

    And just a note ... he probably did turnaround and count the stars in that flag, and he got sixty, not fifty! His gaff was an effort to try and figure out the sixty if someone asked specifically.

     Let's pick on him for everything he believes--there plenty of that to find fault with. Plenty, now we can include being a dumb ass.
