Obama says he's visited 57 states
News Editor | Posted May 10, 2008 2:36 PM
It's time for a vacation. All those 16-hour days out on the campaign trail seem to be having an effect on Barack Obama. Here he says he's campaigned in "57 states."
We think he was referring to the number of Democratic contests and not the actual number of states in the union. There are only 50 states, but there are more primaries and caucuses (Guam, Puerto Rico, District of Columbia, for example) than there are states.Latest News

Wow, keep on the road until November with your message of hope and inclusiveness for ALL the citizens of this great country! The US has had enough of the divisive, lie for a vote, race baiting old timers in DC!!

So what's the point? Is it that he is tired? He made a mistake - tongue slip? He can't count? He does not know how many states there are? He is not patriotic? He is confussed? Or is the point that Obama's critics must just get a life.

Maybe he was thinking about John Kerry's favorite steak sauce?
Someone should give him a US flag. He could count the stars before he burns it.

Could it be a slip of the tongue from a man who has a Muslim background to say that there are 57 states when, in reality there are 57 Islamic states? Be careful when you cast your vote.

Goes to show how much more intelligent Bush is compared to Husseine Obama. Maybe Obama is referring to all the other countries he plans to invade and annex like Adolf Hitler.

At least he has a reason and has proven himself to be intelligent, Bush is just stupid. AND all of you fear mongering individuals on this site, you are the reason why a man like Bush had two terms.

It sure does not beat the stupidity of Bush taking us into a War base on fake information, that now we the Americans will have to pay for in the years to come, MORON!!!!!!

God Damn America! It's the new Libereal Battle cry.
The elitist want to have you believe that Barack HUSSEIN Obama disavowed the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But, they fail to tell you that the Bigot Wright made his condemnation speech in 2003. Nearly 5 years went by before Barack HUSSEIN Obama became so indignant.
BTW, Barack HUSSEIN Obama gave $22,500 to the Bigot Jeremiah Wright in 2006. That is 3 years after he GOD DAMNED AMERICA!!!!

yep, daniel, only to fox news and joe libermans who hate arabs and love war, and, who just can't deal with the idea that someone might care about all people and not just wars for alleged democracy based on the lies of the so called boogey man in the middle east.
