What's the name of those other 9 states? He sat in church for 20 years and didn't hear the sermons, now it appears he sat in geography class and didn't hear the lesson.

3. There's 59 states

if you count Florida and Michigan!

[hokies4ever]

4. Misspoke or does he really believe in 57 states?

Ah, the last gasp of Clinton supporters is a wonderful thing. So he misspoke. The difference with Hillary is that she just flat out LIES. Sorry, but this isn't enough of a misspeak to resuscitate Hillary's dead campaign. :rofl:

[maddiejoan]

19. Of course he misspoke.

Doesn't make it any less funny.

[BattyDem]

5. That's it ... I'm not voting for him!

:eyes:

[SteelPenguin]

6. OMG

He said fifty accidentally when he meant forty after being on the campaign trail for 6 months late at night! Oh the humanity!

I wonder if at any time he visited those states he was under heavy sniper fire.

[seriousstan]

8. Was he under sniper fire also?

[SteelPenguin]

10. Sinbad says so

That's what I hear at least.

[Cirque du So-What]

7. 57 states visited...

and not one time was his chopper under sniper fire.

[SteelPenguin]

9. beat you to the sniper dig in the post above

nyah nyah

[Cirque du So-What]

11. GMTA

Missed it by *this* much!

[Fedja]

12. damnit

I was gonna throw one in too :/

[Double T]

13. The GREAT STATEs of DENIAL, BLAME, INCOMPETENCE,........

ARROGANCE, UN-ACCOMPLISHMENT, MANIPULATION, FRAUD, HYPOCRISY and COULDA-WOULDA-SHOULDA.

[Bicoastal]

15. Upper-casing all of your words don't make them any truer.

I think he was using hyperbole. But in any case, who cares?

[Double T]

16. Perhaps BO visited your STATE of DENIAL.

[Bicoastal]

20. Quit YELLING out EVERY other WORD!!

Who do you think you are, Shatner?

[Double T]

21. Time to TURN UP THE VOLUME; YOU are not paying attention to the glaring obvious.

[Bicoastal]

23. Double T, YOU are not going to change my mind. That's for your candidate to do.

And she failed. Everything HRC has done in the last week has reinforced my feeling that I made the right choice when I picked Obama.

[Double T]

28. Pay very close attention to WHAT the candidates SAY.

The CORRECT CHOICE for the Democratic Party is a BRILLIANT STRONG CONCISE WOMAN that NEVER gives up!

18. Congratulations. You just described Team-SlickHilly perfectly.

[Double T]

27. Sorry, YOU are mistaken. HRC KNOWS there are ONLY 50 states...........

while BO is going to WISH there were 59 states when HRC wins the Democratic nomination. Matter of FACT obama doesn't believe the states of Florida and Michigan and their voters should/do exist!!

[Divine Discontent]

14. uh huh

"What's the name of those other 9 states? He sat in church for 20 years and didn't hear the sermons, now it appears he sat in geography class and didn't hear the lesson."

Yawn. If you catch him being asked how many states there are and him guaranteeing you there are 60 or whatever, then I'll be shock n awed. When you talk constantly in a position of 'talk' you're going to flub some lines.

I loved the laughter, it's funny, but sometimes even the greatest of minds screw up the little things - now had he said he tried to get into those other states he hadn't visited, but was stopped by sniper fire - then I'd worry about him...

[RBInMaine]

17. Silly. Oh gee, people can't be human anymore. He meant 47. Good try at a smear.

[iamthebandfanman]

22. wow, thats all you can come up with?

glad to see REAL issues are still hard to come by at the hillary camp ;)

[whistle]

24. What American college graduate under 40 knows anything about geography anyway

...he had the math correct even though his base number wasn't :yoiks:

Of course, he could be counting the ten provinces of Canada as already merged into the union. But then he should not have left out the 31 states of Mexico and yes perhaps include the seven countries of Central america also.

[HeresyLives]

25. Um, aren't there 50 states?

Obama is either joking or just goofed through sheer exhaustion, but no one on here has said 50 either.

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

26. So Hillary still has a shot.

[jmondine]

29. I know I'm a newbie, but break it up y'all

I found it quite amusing, and I'm an Obama supporter. Ya know, if he becomes POTUS, Jon Stewart's not going to pull any comic punches. I think we all need to have a sense of humor about ourselves... and those we embrace.

[IndyOp]

31. From the mouths of newbies:

Sanity.

Damn shame that some of the oldies 'round here are so deep into a mudslinging contest that they can't resist something like this...

:eyes:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

30. Quale is that you?

[rainy]

32. Hey, he just meant he went to some states twice!

[MirrorAshes]

33. and soeth begins 57-states-gate!

:eyes:

[shockra]

34. Obama's askerred of the 8 great states of Alaska.

And this man.

35. Hypothetically.....

...bandwidth is all but unlimited. Not in practical terms, though.

[Stardust]

46. Say what, BTS?!?

:hi:

[MNBrewer]

36. Musta been the stress from the sniper fire. oh wait.

That was Hillary.

[CadenBlaker]

37. REALLY?!

I mean, seriously?! It is really ugly when liberals turn on one another. Both sides act like they are talking to Republicants!

[brutalbullfighter]

38. Looks like McCain is not the only one who lost his bearings n/t

[TexanIndian]

39. Wait a minute... The target moved up from 2025 to 2575

I never knew Howard Dean was so sneaky... Why did he hide the remaining 9 states from the Primaries? We obviously need to hear from all the voters in these 9 states, not to mention Florida and Michigan.

My calculations indicate that with the new states added to the map, the number of pledged delegates needed to win the nomination should be 2575. I would urge Senator Obama to join us in demanding the primaries be held in these states, even if they cannot be scheduled until December this year. We cannot afford to disenfranchise any states. We can always use the results from this primary season to determine the nominee for 2012.

43. this is the dirst clinton supporters can dig up on obama. - nt

[gmudem]

44. You must be a bit too serious

If you don't realize that was a joke.

OMG OBAMA DOESN'T KNOW THERES 50 STATES!! WHAT WILL WE DO NOWZZZ

[Hutzpa]

45. You have lost your marbles

there I said it, he meant to say 47 not 57 ghooosh.....

[quantass]

47. Hillary Supporters, you're really grasping here. Come On! Grow up. It's obvious -- he misspoke

[humbled_opinion]

48. Words, Just Words, Only Words, These Words....

Now if you are going around telling everyone just how important your Words are then you better keep your words in check or else you will get called on it.

It is starting to add up to a judgement issue...

Hillary is right in one thing the Right will eat Obama alive as he, Obama, intends to play fairly on a playground full of ignorant, self Righteous bullies.

Slips like this at the same time that he is attempting to paint McCain as out of touch and a little lost due to his age don't bode well to the general populace.

At some point the change agent is going to be asked to define his change and the Rethugs are going to paint it as Liberalism, socialism and marxism and he is going to lose the centrists, the independents and the election....

and then, we will reflect and say I guess Hillary was right after all...but we will have 4 or 8 more years of a Rethug President.

[gmudem]

49. Don't break your arm grasping at those straws

He was either joking or just misspoke. Some Hillary supporters are turning into such sad little weasels now.

To take this seriously, you would have to think that Obama actually believes there are 57 states.

But we don't really have anything to worry about in this country so by all means lets talk about this.

[humbled_opinion]

50. OK and so to follow your thought process

Then McCain doesn't really want to be in Iraq for a hundred plus years because he mispoke, Obama commented on McCain mispeaking about Al-Qaeda being Shite, .. Shrub has mispoken his entire term in office...

That is the point I am making... Obama loses the center with these gaffes of course we know it was unintentional, maybe he was tired, whatever, He won't lose us, we are his base... He could probably due some pretty aweful shit before I would turn on him but... but .... but.... it is the Red state center that he needs to swing his way .... or do you think he wins with just us? he gets 40 percent at best he has to really earn the rest by persuading lots of ignorant people the see it his way...

that is the dilema or don't you follow politics much?

[GarbagemanLB]

54. So you are saying he will lose the base because he said the number 57 instead of 47...

I think you are the one who doesn't follow politics, or reality, for that matter.

[humbled_opinion]

57. Not the Base....

You obviously did not read my reply. I said the middle the centrists the ones that gave shrub the 04 election and then woke up late those ones are the fickle ones... Obama will not lose the base unless he does something stupid like advocate continuation of war in Iraq.... no Obama needs to win the middle that is the part thats missing thats the politics I am talking about the fickle center of American politics not left not right...

[barack the house]

51. So the implications is he might press a red button accidentally compared to Hillary doing it...

intentionally. OK...

[greiner3]

52. Under 'No child left behind;'

Nearly half of the US high school seniors cannot find America on a globe. I say it was a misspeak, unless he says something like, "Bomb bomb Iran," or, "We had to run for cover because of sniper fire when we visited Ohio." Well, actually in a lot of rural parts of this damn state he might have to.

[happycozy]

53. I love Obama, but...

He's been making more flubs than Dubbya lately. Last week he called Matt Lauer Tim, and on the Meet the Depressed he accidentally called Iran Iraq.

[durrrty libby]

55. Obama = Dumbya. Same old same old

[iamthebandfanman]

56. id rather have an perceived idiot

than a lying backstabbing corrupted person with a massive ego like hillary.
