"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."

wow from the LA Times

Yes, I’m certain that you wouldn’t say a word about it if McCain had been confused about the number of states... twice.

I’ll bet you wouldn’t be howling with laughter and derision if Bush had been confused about the number of states... twice.

Yep, I’ll bet it would pass unnoticed...

The fact is, Hillary, Dubya, or McCain would be roasted alive for such errors.

[spokeshave]

Hope he doesn’t get to visit Putin....would probably give Alaska back to Russia for a string of beads and a new bong.

[ltc8k6]

Would it be news if McCain had said it?

It sure would.

It would be a sign that McCain is too old, wouldn’t it?

Let alone the howls of laughter we’d here if Dubya had said it.

Obama gets no slack, imo.

Especially since it’s the second time he had trouble with the number of states.

[Red Steel]

Obama knows there’s 50 states...he’s communicating something else.

[pepperhead]

Let’s see, just a day ago Obama said McCain was “losing his bearings”. I am sorry but Obama deserves to get picked on for saying what he said today because of what he said the day before.

there’s also Puerto Rico and Guam

And the rest of the Caribbean Islands as well, once us eeeeevil (R's) steal them from Spain..........

Hey, that's not a bad idea........

How to spot an Obama constituent:

LOL - and that's only because Dennis Kucinich dropped out.

WooHOO! Us bitter Evil Imperialists may finally get to be part of an evil empire!

Forget Operation Chaos, I'm voting for Operation Annex, I mean Obama!

No, he thinks we have 60, because he said he’s been to 57, won’t be able to go to Alaska and Hawaii, and has one more to go.

So...

57 (visited) + 1 (one more to go) + 2 (Alaska & Hawaii) = 60.

[GAB-1955]

He’s counting the District and the outlying territories.

[Blind Eye Jones]

He’s doing this for Hillary Clinton, saying either, “You lost to a moron... therefore, you must be a bigger one” or “I can say whatever gibberish I want, they will still elect me over you!”

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Fight HARDER Sweetie, we want to rule the WORLD!!!!!

;^)

I am not in the mood to give anyone breaks tonight TE...He is ignoramus & God help us if he wins.

[TomGuy]

Maybe he watched the Canadian production, The Trojan Horse, and thinks we have assimilated a few Canadian provinces as new states.

[BJClinton]

Nice double entendre.

[Old North State]

If GWB had said this it would be breaking/leading news 24/7 for tow weeks...

Obama knows there’s 50 states...he’s communicating something else.

I'm an Aussie, enlighten, what might that 'something else' be?

[ApplegateRanch]

You missed Libya...included because so many of his heroes & mentors (including his pastor, IIRC) went there to visit The Colonel.

Remember, he was only in 57 out of 58.

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."

He thinks he missed Alaskawaii.
