"He's been to 7 extra states and he STILL can't put Hillary away."

Giving the Dimmi no credit, even I come up shy of 57. 50 states Hussein refuses to acknowledge as worthy of a salute, and some places that have delegate representation at Stalinist Headquarters in Colorado in August, Wash. DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands. 54. Maybe Osama considers Chicago a separate state. Still short.

This mistake would have been perfectly understandable, had this been Kerry.

But was his wife proud of any of the extra 7 states?

He thinks there's 60 states! He's visited "57 with one left to go" - and then, oh, there's also Hawaii and Alaska.

This may sound like a little slip - but the man knows so little about the country he wants to rule - he doesn't even know how many states there are!

obamama says McCain has 'lost his bearings' = it seems that obamama has never had any.

We need to make sure Hannity et al runs with this...it may semm a little thing, but it is NOT.

Remember the rule of thumb the media uses for airing something: they have to get a certain level of emails/calls/FAXES on a given thing to cover it -

So let's get 'em going...

and all the rest

So THAT'S where I've seen Barack Obama before. He used to do those Comfort Inn commercials.

You know. The ones where he sings about all the places he's been.

"I been everywhere man...."

The Los Angeles Times!!!

And funny comments to boot - which are always more devastating - and then this:

He said, ""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?)

Oh, and as far as Hawaii voters are concerned, they're probably delighted to learn that Obama's campaign staff doesn't think that tiny state can justify an appearance by his eminence, even though he did a lot of growing up there. Or maybe because he was there.

Let's see what they do with that in the Honolulu media

and what's with his aide cutting him off and rushing him out of harms way? Is he loosing it?

If President Bush had said the same thing, you would never hear the end of “How stupid is he, he thinks there are 58 states.” {superior laugh}

It would just end up on a "Best of Bush" blooper video on YouTube and Letterman along with his many other slips.

I'm certainly against Obama, but come on, this is very small potatoes. (Or is that potatos, Mr. Quayle? Heh).

Except that he’s had trouble counting states before, and no other candidate would be cut any slack for making these mistakes.

Do you have a link to the other time(s) he's done it?

We should run around calling him “Odumba,” or something similar. He sure does frequently come across as an idiot, and turn about is fairplay.

Obama must be like the Steve Martin routine when he goes to a strip club in Vegas and yells out, “Wow! Look at the tits! I bet there must be...57 tits up there!”

American Samoa makes 55, the “democraps abroad” make 56. Even if he meant places that select delegates, Barry Hussein is still off by one.

I think it was a gaffe.

Obama was referring to the 57 member states in the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

I can’t stand Jay Leno, but for some reason my husband and I watched the monologue part of his show one night last week. He referred to a comment that Obama had actually and then made some stupid joke about the president’s allegedly not understanding the meaning of one of the words. A few jokes later he made reference to the rumor involving Roger Clemens and some singer who was a teen when they met. The joke had Clemens saying the relationship was platonic, only Leno, who apparently is so much smarter than Bush, pronounced the word “platonic” and “plutonic”. Once could be attributed to a slip, but Mr. Brilliance actually mispronounced the word twice.
