"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."

Glad you found it again,lol.

Lol, he misspoke.

Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991. He received his Juris Doctor law degree, magna cum laude.

How often we have laughed at Bush for his mixed up words, lol.

He’s one of those losers, who threw a temper tandrum when they didn’t from the President what they wanted after they voted for him. If you know what I mean

[RipSawyer]

The words you italicized are not mine, they are what I was responding to, I never actually said that I believe he didn’t know how many states there are. I merely agreed that the media is biased and I stand by that, Democrats make utterly stupid comments all the time and they are mostly ignored by the media. You are the guy acting like a moron.

A tad slap-happy on the campaign trail?

Scott Garrett is my congressman, too. In this state, with our 2 loser senators, he is a bright light and my only hope. I’m sending Scott more $$$ this year than I ever have — I’ve seen road signs already for his jerk challenger, and we need to keep him in Congress.

Even though the media calls Barry black and handsome, I think he's more white and nerdy.

[Huck]

No $hit? Small world. I think Garrett’s safe up here.

That’s why Rush is such a dumbass for Operation Chaos, obama has no stamina to make it to November.

Thank you for your input.

Reeducation is needed at once

Isn’t that called “diversity training” in America?

[CatherinePPP]

Um guys, I think this was a joke. I mean it was a pretty stupid joke, but my teenagers say “in all 57 states!” all the time. I think it must come from a TV show or something.

Of course, I’d like to have a president who has a better sense of humor than a pair of really silly teenagers...

Barack Obama is NOT smarter than a fifth grader!

[cruise_missile]

The joke is on U.S.

He later said that he did screw up. He said I have a problem in “numeracy”.

I don't mean to be rude, but the article stated:
“I hope I said 100,000 people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It's a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh.” At that point, an aide cut him off and ushered journalists out. Before he could mis-speak again?)

He admitted he screwed up.

affirmative action at work possibly?

From NewsBusters:
Obama Needs a History Lesson
In his victory speech after the North Carolina primary, Sen. Barack Obama said something that is all the more remarkable for how little it has been remarked upon.
In defending his stated intent to meet with America's enemies without preconditions, Sen. Obama said: “I trust the American people to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did.”
