Aren’t there 57 states?

I am getting sick and tired of hearing this "57 states" nonsense attributed to Obama. That's not what he said and I wish people would stop repeating it.

What he said was, and I quote:

"... it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in fifty .... seven states? I think one left to go. 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."

So what Obama said was that there are 60 states, and he had only visited 57.

Get it right next time!

;^)

Yes, shouldn’t the states of Mexico be included?
