Obama Wants to Be President of 57 States
Posted on May 9, 2008

Hey, Obama! How many states are there? "Well, ummm?we?ve been to 57 with one left to go, then subtract Hawaii and Alaska?ummmm?." Unbelievable! This guy wants to be the President of the U.S. and doesn?t know how many states we have! Surely this was from exhaustion. I just called my eight year old son in here and asked him to tell me what this man had just said was wrong! His reaction was priceless!

THIS JUST IN!

The campaign of Hillary Clinton has just sent a letter to the Obama campaign demanding that he join the Senator in insisting that the delegates from the other seven states be seated at the convention.
Oh, for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention . . .

Of co8urse, he meant FORTY-seven states

50-2 (Alaska and Hawaii) -1 left = 47.

So he got one word wrong.

How do you suppose that this might make him a worse president?

Isn't getting words in speeches wrong a sign of idiocy?

==========================================
I am going to say that getting one word wrong in one speech is not a 'sign of idiocy'.

It is not as entertaining as Juniorbush saying that he wants to help some poor guy "get food on his family".

I've heard Obama make other speaking errors.

So, in light of these, it is your considered opinion that Obama is 'an idiot'?

No, that seems to be a Democratic standard. Just like throwing food is considered high comedy among Democrats.

=================================================
I have yet to see (1) a Democrat throw food, or another (2) Democrat laugh at food being thrown.

Do you have any data on this?

Are you not a registered Democrat? Have you not laughed at a pie in the face?

========================================
Throwing food is not particularly amusing to me.

A pie in the face is the result of thrown food, and is not considered by anyone I know to be a politically specific act.

I seriously doubt that one could tell the Republicans from the Democrats if you were to watch them react to a Three Stooges movie featuring flung pies.

Where do you suppose the "MORON" bogus magazine cover came from? Will McCain disassociate himself from such slurs?
