Hope Chris Matthews doesn’t read that. The words “expose himself” in relation to the Obamanation are likely to give him another “thrill” up his leg...

Maybe this guy visited some states more than once. I dunno, he sounds so confused. If he wins the presidency though, I think I’ll move to Bohemia.

Maybe — this guy is a closet Muslim by his own admission publicly and in his book. Just what America needs in the White House

In my opinion he is absolutely a closet Muslim. Of course he will never admit it, but I firmly believe that he is given his background.

Actually, the reason he said “57 states” is that he doesn’t want Quebec, Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland.

Barack Obama and the Muslim call to prayer

On this day in 2007, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.” In an interview with The New York Times, Senator Obama recited, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent,” the opening lines of this prayer:

“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... “

Why is only the eastern half of Kazakhstan colored in on that map? I thought all three Kazakh tribes, the Great Horde, Middle Horde and Little Horde, were Moslem.

Actually, I've read that he was actually physically born in Kenya, then immediately flown to Hawaii where he was registered.

Wish I had kept the reference for reference...

McCain has made more substantial mis-statements. McCain’s boast that he can save $100 billion “before you look at any agency of government” is flatly false. His economic adviser tells us that budget cuts cannot, “by definition,” arise simply by eliminating earmarks. Instead, McCain’s plan is to scrub $100 billion from the discretionary budget. And those cuts are not at all linked up to past earmark spending.

McCain’s attempt to conflate earmark reform with budget cuts is a bit of logical sleight-of-hand (a formal logical fallacy that philosophers call an undistributed middle).

57 is obviously not what Obama meant. It was most likely 47, not 57.
However, he could have been thinking of the 57 Democratic Primaries. There are 57.
57 primaries =
50 States
+Plus
Washington, D.C.
+Plus
U.S. Territories
* American Samoa
* Guam
* Marianas
* Puerto Rico
* U.S. Virgin Islands
+Plus
Democrats overseas in other locations (United States Airmen, Marines, Soldiers, Reservists, Seamen overseas, U.S. ambassadors to foreign embassies, U.S. bases contractors, AAFES (BX/PX) employees, etc.)
=
57 Primary Locations

And what did he say? Or is that the entire prayer? What are the opening lines? Where did you get the quote from?

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

A single honest recitation of the Shahadah in Arabic is all that is required for a person to become a Muslim according to most traditional schools.

Good analysis. But he did, in fact, call them all states. When the people you are with are convoluted, it can make you sound just as strange. A party that holds primaries outside our borders is convoluted. They sowed seeds of being ‘citizens of the world’, and this is part of their harvest.
