The US is Growing!

57 States - Thus Spake Obama

from JoeUser Forums

So says Obama! Yes, this man has been campaigning so hard, he has campaigned in 57 States! (not Including Oregon, where the statement was made, and Hawaii and Alaska). 60 States!

We best pull all the civics books from the classrooms! They are just flat out wrong! They only list 50 states! And we know a liberal would never lie, right?

But wait! Where could that 57 number have come from? Maybe he was mistaking the US of A for some other country, place or thing? So where did 57 come from? Hmmm......... Well, perhaps it came from - Organization of the Islamic Conference, representing the 57 Islamic states!

And we thought he was running for the president of America. Apparently not! Hillary has the nod as she (at least the last I checked) is running for the president of the US of A!

Seems Obama just had a Gerald Ford moment. And the campaign has not even started! WOnder what he will be running for in the fall? Emperor of the known universe?

What's this about 57 states? Ah, well, people get tired and mis-speak. i think we should reserve criticism for the really big flaws.

i have left a note explaining the origin of Cartimandua, Ohio.

You are 16 years (or 32) too late. Tell that Dan Quayle or even Gerald R Ford.

The left always wants us to ignore "the little stuff" - all those "distractions" - all those "unimportant" but inconvenient facts that put the lie to their fictional Gospel of St. Barack. But Bush should be impeached for choking on a pretzel.

Have we overlooked the obvious? Obama is in bed with Kerry...one of them, anyway :D

Or it could have been a freudian slip. ;)

It's obvious now that Obama is only a good speaker when he can read from a teleprompter.

Even counting the territories that still doesn't add up to 57. The guy must be getting tired. Campaigning is said to be very exhausting.

I'm far more concerned about his far left voting record than in his making a speaking blunder.

At least he didn't invent a fictional sniper attack. :LOL:

It helps him to remember what his handlers want him to say.

Unlike others, he appears to still have some scrupples left. ;)

He could also be talking about US Insular areas. There are about 7 of those that could be considered inhabited, and I believe those all have electoral votes.


But really, you know he meant 47. Because that's how many states his campaign officially says they've been to.

You mean learn that you are an intellectually deficient morally bankrupt coward that lacks the cajones to actually debate on the issue?

The TOPIC was you being a fool that was sniping on one misstatement by one person and when you soiled yourself when confronted with your own hypocrisy.

Another thoughtful, considerate contribution from our resident troll. Now just sit back, everyone, & wait for the inevitable diarrheal assault, spewing from one end or the other being his only talent.

7 Insular areas do not equal 60. Still, what he meant and what he said are 2 different things. And I was just pointing out we still have Dan Quayle jokes (and to a lesser extent Ford jokes) to this day for making the same bone head statements. The difference is they were conservative, Obama is liberal, so they "excuse" him and vilify the others.
