"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."

I’m still laughing at how he wants to be President, but his staff won’t let him visit two of the states he wants to be President of.

Maybe if he said he would hold his breath until they said yes......

Oh, for pete's sake!

The big jerk obviously meant "47" states and made a simple slip.

Have YOU ever made a mistake?

Sheesh.

This is not breaking news.

Next thing you know the networks will cut in live with McCain letting a fart.

"Next thing you know the networks will cut in live with McCain letting a fart."

That would beat the brain farts coming out of Obama's head. Clearly the guy has lost his bearings.

Maybe Obama included Guam, Puerto Rico, American Somoa, Virgin Islands, DC, Johnson Island? Nevermind that’s only six.

Sorry, Cinnamon Girl, but John Sidney AND Cindy have both said now that there will be no “negativity” on their part. Like Bob Dole twelve years ago, they had rather lose than be “negative”. Heck, they may secretly vote for Oprah’s Obama to prove to themselves that they are not racist.

Oh, I believe there will be change I can believe in if the O is elected. I'm just as certain I won't particularly like it.

Obama Smarter than a 6th grader ?

I swear this is the truth, i was driving my daughter to school, I think it was after super Tuesday, not sure, but they interviewed Obam and he said something like this:

“There are 1 billion people in China and 700 million in India...”

My 6th grade daughter caught the mistake, there are 1.3 billion in china and NOW 1 billion in India..

He is not even smarter than a 6th grader...that the truth...

You are probably just one of those typical white people Obama talks about. LOL!

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

Well...if you look at a kindergarten map....oftentimes Alaska and Hawaii are pasted over some spare bit of ocean.....I guess Obambi thinks they are somehow joined.....

Yeah....that's it....remember the Alaskan "bridge to nowhere" the Senate was going on about.....

He must think that the bridge was to connect Alaska and Hawaii.

This is so stupid. I don’t like Obama at all, but this is just gay. It’s clear he meant to say 47 states. He says there’s one more to go, and that he can’t go to Alaska or Hawaii. So that’s 48. Of all the useless things to focus on. What a crock. Never mind he’s a raving socialist, let’s pick on him for saying 57 instead of 47. Yea, that’ll win over new voters.

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

Truly, the ability to handle rote memorization is critical to good leadership.
