This is a non-story. Looking at the context of the conversation, I think it was a brain-addled mistake. Of course, if it were Dan Quayle, it would be a sign of mental retardation, not an honest confusion of thoughts.
Two things I see here:
1. It’s not a Freudian slip. To his discredit, Obama clearly can’t concentrate on the fly. He’s proven it before. i.e., I’m pretty sure he knows there’s only fifty states. That’s why he won’t have a Town Hall meeting. Nail him on that, not the content of the gaffe.
2. Leave the nitpicking and ambushing to the Dems. There’s more than enough reasons of substance that Obama won’t be elected. Dwelling on an explainable gaffe is beneath our level of discourse...
Just my opinion. Most won’t agree. But let’s not turn this into something it’s not.
Roll Over Beethoven
I agree with you (they’re ganging up on us, you and me).
And I agree that using their tactics is stupid and counterproductive.
Frankly, I feel the same way about the baby/mistake thing.
There’s enough REAL stuff to nail this guy, so our becoming like THEM is a tragic mistake.
What it is, is more evidence of the man's duplicitous incompetence.
This type of remark, and others such as the 57 states, highlight an astonishing inability to handle any sort of pressure. Keeping in mind that these people interviewing him are tossing softballs and laying the red carpet at his feet. Hell's bells, how much pressure is there when the "interviewer" has his head so far up Obama's butt we can hardly hear the questions? It's not like any of these people are trying to entrap BO into saying something contradictory. As they do non stop to Republicans.
Put it this way. If a pitcher comes unglued during an intramural baseball game, you don't promote him to the first string in the National League.

Drugs will do that to the brain. Illiciit drug abuse deteriorares the cognitive skills and impairs analytical thinking.
BHO is damaged goods.
Oh, if the MSM was as kind as you are.
