I just heard on cspan a few moments ago some guy saying MCsame saying he doesnt know how many houses he has but obama said he been to 57 states and the caller said theres not 57 states.
I know obama did not say this about 57 states I know he is smarter than that. does anyone know where that talking point came from or orginated?

thats the thing about cspan you dont know what you will expect out of freepers mouths on WJ

1. He did indeed say that, but corrected himself immediately. n/t

[mucifer]

2. Obama said it as a joke. He was do so much campaigning.

Republicans don't understand humor.

3. He did, but I think he meant 47.. because that's how many he had by then.

6. He said it

But it was an obvious slip-up (he meant 47). Amazing that a RW even knows how many states there are to catch this.

I'm going to adopt the RW view of this when Bush** does it and say it just shows Obama is human and someone I'd enjoy having a beer with!

7. Perhaps he meant States and Territories:

Unincorporated organized territories
Guam
Northern Mariana Islands (commonwealth)
Puerto Rico (commonwealth)
United States Virgin Islands

He might also have included visits to US Occupation zones in Iraq (and other overseas bases)as well as American Samoa:

Unincorporated unorganized territories
American Samoa, technically unorganized, but self-governing under a constitution last revised in 1967
Baker Island, uninhabited
Howland Island, uninhabited
Jarvis Island, uninhabited
Johnston Atoll, uninhabited
Kingman Reef, uninhabited
Bajo Nuevo Bank, uninhabited
Serranilla Bank, uninhabited
Midway Islands, no indigenous inhabitants, currently included in the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge
Navassa Island, uninhabited (claimed by Haiti)
Wake Atoll consisting of Peale, Wake and Wilkes Islands<4>, no indigenous inhabitants, only contractor personnel (claimed by the Marshall Islands)

8. Parse Parse...Believe The Hate Email....

I purposely watch C-SPIN just to hear these asshats. Call me a glutton for punishment. But I've been watching this show for years and have seen a big change over the past couple years. The Freepers and wingnuts used to dominate the phones...so much that C-SPIN had the GOOP line listed as "Supports booosh". Not anymore.

As I was once taught, you can't fight ignorance...only attempt to minimalize and embarass these people...force them on the defensive and watch them tie them up in knots attempting to justify all the hypocricies they stand for.

They're like a bunch of children who play the "rubber and glue" games...trying desperately to find something/anything that they can glam onto...no matter how stupid or false it is. Now we're seeing the bullshit on Ayers coming out...just like Reverend Wright...or Resko...strawmen that they hide behind in a vain attempt to hide their bigotry and ignorance.

10. and John W McCain never made any errors.

11. I think there were 57 CONTESTS -- between primaries and caucuses

Some states had one of each. I think that is what he was referring to.
