It seems pretty clear he meant to say 47....

[Johnny__Motown]

not 57


Then Alaska and Hawaii (which he could not visit) and one more to visit...

Yes, it was mangled. Yes it didn't make any damn sense and was just plain wrong.


Hillary can blame telling her sniper story on being tired, even after telling it 4 times, and telling it again after she had been corrected. Adding "now that's what happened" to emphasize her lie.


But..... Barack can't misspeak 57 for 47 without being labeled a Quayle?


This isn't a double standard, it is a quadruple one.

1. There are 57 contests

Guam
Virgin Islands
Puerto Rico
Washington DC
Dems Abroad
American Samoa
Texas Caucus (2 contests, 1 state)

3. That may have been a contributing factor, but he didn't visit many of those

(4+?) and I have no idea how to visit Democrats Abroad



He meantioned he would not be visiting Alaska or Hawaii and said he had one more to visit.


If we assume he meant to say 47 and 57 slipped out, the math works.

13. You are counting Michigan and Florida

Obama doesn't count those. Remember?

15. I didn't say delegates would be sat -- only that there were 57 contests

:P

2. He'll be fine.

I wouldn't get too upset over it. :hi:

4. Maybe he was just spending too much time with Teresa Heinz Kerry.

8. The plot thickens . . .

5. Is this an issue with anyone?

Heck, even my kids used to be amused when I'd say one of their names when I meant the other. Didn't someone (let me think now, who could it be) say when you speak millions of words a day, some are bound to be wrong?

7. HA HA, Exactly.... it is the Hypocracy that bothers me. and there is a thread out there about this

9. I know the guy is tired, but “How many states are there in America?” is the kind of question

I know the guy is tired, but “How many states are there in America?” is the kind of question they ask you at the hospital after you've

had a seizure to see if your brain is still working.

10. Guess I missed something. Did Obama refer to being in 57 states?

'Cause today in Bend, Oregon (the man was here--yes!) I swear I heard him say he'd campaigned in 47 states, and I wondered which three he'd not been to yet.

I'm sure if I cruised the threads I'd find my answer, but I've been distracted today--watching Obama speak here in Bend, Oregon! He told us we have some pretty real estate here. On that he is 100% correct! Rest of his speech was awesome, too!

14. He misspoke. No big deal. n/t

16. If flubbed lines were seen as worse than flat out lies

Shrub would never have been re-elected....ohh wait a minute he does both, nevermind
