"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."

There are thousands of reason to dump on Obama, but him saying “57” instead of “47” is not one of them. Pretending common verbal stumbles are a sign of something serious makes it look like he has no real problems.
This thread is juvenile bull-sh~t. Have fun with it if you like, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s any more seriously than a swimming pool fart game.

Maybe you could have listed one of those reasons that we should be dumping on Obama instead of listing a web site that dumps on the President.
Maybe my synapses are overfiring, but I think it’s interesting that Barack Obama and Joe McCarthy got in trouble over the same number.
“So we are some 355+ replies into this topic and you are still reading it. What does that say about your comment?”
That makes no sense at all. You think I looked at those replies?
As a conservative, I don’t have a dog in this fight. Here are my thoughts on the subject: http://forthisworld.blogspot.com/. You can decide for yourself.
I think it’s interesting there are 57 Islamic states.
Another question. If this thread is “B.S.” why are you still reading it? Are you like a Lib pretending to be a conservative. In the words of Reagan, “Never say anything bad about a fellow Republican.”
You still haven't said anything bad about Obama. Just about Bush and now McCain. Yeah, you're a true-blue conservative.
I’m not on “this thread”, and I’m not reading it. I looked at it for 10 seconds 5 hours ago. I’m responding to someone who keeps posting to me after reading them through “My Comments”. If you wanted to know what I thought of Obama you’d have read my link. I don’t know what you want and don’t care. Now have another drink and don’t bother me again.
Also once again, you contradict yourself. If you don't care why respond?
Please don't bother me. You bothered me first.
"This thread is juvenile bull-sh~t."
I whole heartedly disagree with you.
I have a new daughter-in-law (middle aged) who is a died in the wool union Democrat and it wasn't until I sent her the link to the video where he says this that she finally got it. She said she looked all over Snopes etc' hoping it wasn't for real. This finally made her embarrassed to be associated with a democrat.
Thats probably how a lot of Democrats are. Don't bother me with issues but don't embarras me.
WOW! B.O.Hussein is a certified, incompetent MORON and IDIOT! B.O. Hussein, thE stealth Muslim Demorat Candidate for PO**S believes there are 60 States in Our Union! Read the LATimes article, it was NO SLIP OF THE TONGUE. He may consider Philly,Baltimore,Chicago etc. states since each city has more dead voters for Demorats than their respective states total live registered voters.
Second, Thank You!! True Republican Patriot and Spunky!!
I think every word, every syllable, every inflection, every pause he makes is important.
We know NOTHING about this (Marxist?) individual!!!
I think we need to document every slip, gaffe, goof this individual makes. I thought Free Republic was to focus on things the MSM is not reporting on. That’s what I thought this web site was all about.
Have you seen this gaffe (57 states) anywhere else but on the net?
We had to listen how to spell potato for 20 years. Now they should hear 57 states until the election!!!
We need to fight for every inch of ground with these individuals. Some of which even post here.
His gaffes are adding up. We need to put them together like the ones they have on Bush.
Thanks and didn’t know about the 57 Islamic States, so it was no accidental slip by the stealth muslim cadidate. WOW!
57 states is funny as hell. Lighten up already.
He may be being accurate.
If you count Iraq, Iran, Mexico, Canada, Venezuala, Cuba, and Russia, he may be thinking about FUTURE states. States we will own, soon.
I’m not questioning your perception of your stepdaughter, but I find that incredulous. Abandoning a candidate for that reason would be like abandoning a boyfriend because of his cologne. It’s a big world so I’m sure it happens, but I don’t adjust strategies in its pursuit.
I haven’t read this entire thread. The reaction of our fellow freepers may seem juvenile. And, at first, his comment about ‘57 states’ (+2) seems funny, but I find it extremely angering! I’m sorry. I can’t accept that excuse that he mis-spoke. I don’t care how nervous anybody is. Anybody who wants to be President of the United States should not make such a gaffe. View the video. He had to THINK about it a second!
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD VOTE FOR SUCH A FOOL!!!
He is bad news, and his weirdo wife is even worse!
God help us if he gets elected!
LOL!!! Excellent post!
