Patriotic Barack Obama Lapel Pins Unveiled Honoring All 57 States(You're gonna love this!LOL)
Los Angeles Times ^ | 5/11/2008 | staff

Posted on 05/11/2008 7:31:13 AM PDT by kellynla

Yesterday The Ticket broke the stunning news of America's acquisition of seven, maybe eight, new states, according to future president Barack Obama.

He was speaking at the start of a two-day swoop through Oregon, which is already a state.

In Beaverton, which is not a state yet, the Democrat let it slip that during this marathon 16-month party presidential nomination struggle against a bunch of dropouts and this female political zombie from New York who won't surrender short of a silver stake, he had already visited 57 states with one more to go.

That's not counting the existing states of Alaska and Hawaii, he said, which his staff decided aren't important enough to visit. Unless maybe you're Mike Gravel or Dennis Kucinich, who weren't very important either, come to think of it.

If I remember correctly the liberal MSM began portraying GWB as “stupid” when he merely mispronounced the name of a foreign leader.
Obama’s “stupidity” is real, serious and frightening...

Kerry-Heinz was exactly what I thought of when I heard that number.

Still, to everyone I wouldn't overplay the significance of this gaffe.

Actually, I think the U.S. consists of 46 states, 4 commonwealths, several territories,and some protectorates.

“..we do not need a President who doesn’t know how many states we have.”

His alleged ignorance of the number of states that constitute the US is one of the least ominous of his qualities.

your post seriously made me gasp - I’ve never heard of that before.

Is there another source for that? (Because I have to send that to everyone I know.)

thanks

“Very scary slip of tongue?”

Freudian slip. LOL

Hussein forgot who he was addressing...

not to worry, no levelheaded American is gonna vote for this guy... remember I said, "levelheaded" which automatically eliminates all the Lefties & anyone who depends on government welfare.

I’m surprised at my normally at least right leaning friends that are pro-obama...it’s very upsetting to me.

Excellent catch! Thank you.

I wonder, was it a Freudian slip? Or, was he just “tired” as his campaign handlers say.

You decide...

“The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 nations, most of which are Islamic, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.”

Notice that Oil, Religion & Repressive governments are common denominators.
