VIDEO: Democrats Now Embrace Obama's Idea of 57 States

VIDEO

Remember when Barack Obama was mocked while running for president in 2008 for thinking there were 57 states? Commentators at the time pointed out he probably made this absurd error because it might have been because there are 57 Islamic states in the world. Well, rather than being embarrassed by the notion of 57 states in the USA, Democrats have now seem to have EMBRACED the idea that there are 57 states in the union. And it isn't just loon on the street corner claiming he (or she) is a Democrat and screaming into the wind that there are 57 states. It is someone (although a leftwing loon) who is now running for Chair of the national Democrat party who is absurdly claiming there are 57 states, namely one Ben Wikler the Chair of the Democrat party of Wisconsin. He makes this claim of 57 states by watering down the whole definition of states by including D.C. and U.S. territories as states to get to Obama's magic number of 57 states. It sort of make sense since Democrats hate the whole idea of states since they favor a centralized system of government run from Washington, D.C. and not our federal form of government consisting of sovereign states as laid out in the Constitution.

They really love watering down the concept of states by mixing them in with DC and the territories. They think their new shtick about "57 states" will simply be accepted without question. ... WRONG!!!

If Puerto Rico and other US territories skewed conservative, the Left would happy with the current 50 state count.

If the Democrats support something, then almost certainly, we should NOT support it.

Obama (or whatever his real name may be) had 57 ‘states” ... being that there are 57 nations.... or terrorist murder gangster mobs... in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation

that’s where his “57” number came from, not USA

I remember they also tried to say he was including territories, but there are 14 territories of which only 5 are populated...so the math doesn’t work there either.

Are you sure ‘57’ wasn’t from the Heinz ketchup bottle in front of him at the diner?

We’ve been through 4 years of constant presidential misspeaking.

“57 states” was a minor one and not worth all the time that’s been spent on it.

Let me see. Canada makes 51, Greenland makes 52, Panama makes 53. I don’t see how we reach 57!

You can split Michigan and California into 2 states each.

If anything we need to reduce the number of states, all of those tiny States in the Northeast should be combined into one state.

Nope.I strongly oppose governmental consolidation.

A Republican in Indiana wants to abolish townships and make everything countygov.
Better if people can go to LOCAL trustee than have to appeal to county official in government castle. .

If you listened to Obama’s speech that day he was talking about having gone to 57 states with 1 left to go to plus Alaska and Hawaii he wasn’t “allowed” to go to, so that makes 60 states. Or else he just couldn’t do math any second grader could do. 50 - 1 - 2 = 57.

I don't know. The media pounds on these things and everyone on the left now thinks that transgender is normal. Even on this forum, many use the term "gender" instead of "sex".
