And his staff wouldn't "allow" him to visit Alaska and Hawaii. So either he thinks there are 58 states, two of which are not Alaska and Hawaii, or he thinks we have 60 states.
I heard it as Obambi saying he thinks there are 57 + 1 + 2 = 60 states
57 he has visited, “one more to” — and then Alaska and Hawaii that he will not get to because his staff could not justify it.
I don’t think it’s mere fatigue — 50 states is ingrained into every school child — MR OBAMA, ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?
If a Republican did this we would be inundated with the ridicule on all the news and talking head programs. The MSM wrecked Dan Quayle over much less than this.
Obama is indeed innumerate, he has no firm sense of what numbers mean, and that is terrifying for a man who could well be the next POTUS and dealing with important numbers every day. He will be a puppet of his advisers, who are hard-core leftists.
