"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."

“OMG, I haven’t laughed so hard in weeks. I showed hubby and he’s laughing too.:-)”

Same here, and I really needed that good laugh.

All of the remaining major candidates for POTUS as well as President Bush already pretty much consider Mexico as a state since all of them are for amnesty for illegal immigrants as well as for giving Mexicans the same welfare system and same entitlement programs that the U.S. has.

Quiet. The emperor DOES wear fine clothes. You will be sent to the gulag for suggesting that fearless leader was wrong. Reeducation is needed at once.

Exactly who is the one that is supposedly senile in this race? BO seems to have lost his bearings... what poor judgement this guy has. McCain response should be that losing ones bearings obviously has nothing to do with age look at BO who stated thier were 57 states and that Alaska and Hawaii were 1 of them....

and so your take is to give him a pass after all the grief that the Rats have given to Bush over simple miss spoken comments... Right.... The reason for the divisive politics in D.C. is because the Liberals have been riding the BDS train since the 2000 election. So now we are going to have a Liberal tell us that we must stop the divisive politics that they bred in order to all get along and so we must relinquish our beliefs and adopt theirs.....

The Media is Liberal Pravda I won’t live in the United Socialist States of America. Live Free or Die.

Haven’t you been paying attention these last 8 years?

“There are 49 states plus California.”

No...now it’s 48, plus Cali & Mass. - with the rest of New England fading fast.

LOL! If Bush had said this, the MSM would be playing it tirelessly. It would be fodder on all the late night talk shows.

Just IMAGINE if President Bush had said this. It would be repeated so often our grandkids would know about it.

And as for “my staff wouldn’t let me go”...Just who’s in charge here? Who will obama’s culties be electing? The man or his staff? (ok, that came out wrong, sorta).

Maybe it seems like 57 states to him. He'll claim sleep deprivation.

"Well, you'd have to forgive Teresa for having Heinz 57 Sauce on her mind."

I guess that explains this picture on how John Kerry was unfaithful to her.

I thought his comment about “I would’ve liked to go to Alaska and Hawaii but my staff wouldn’t let me” was a little weird, too. I swear, everything about this guy is off-kilter. This guy could find a way to be weird about ordering a sandwich and a coke.
