“Oh I wonder what this guy has been watching?”

At a campaign event in Beaverton, OR, Obama claimed to have visited 57 U.S. states during the campaign.

Now this is one example where I'm going to forgive a candidate for being sleep-deprived. By now everyone knows he's a smart dude, so this gaffe is easily explained by fatigued gray matter. At this point in his exhausting campaign schedule the dude is probably shitting nothing but coffee grounds. However, when one is sleep-deprived, there's a HUGE difference between saying there's 57 states and saying that you took sniper fire in Bosnia in 1996.

My point? Fuck Hillary. Fuck McCain. Go Obama.

Was this intended as a joke? He gets a laugh, whether he slipped 50 for 40, or was trying to get a chuckle is not entirely clear from the clip.

Come on... clearly he meant 47. He said no AK or HI and one more left to go.

Doesn't take too much mental math to figure out somehow he said fifty and thought he was working on forty...

Anyways, pretty major mistake IMO.

Redstate has been trying to make some hay with this one.

As far as mistakes go, it's nothing compared to this.

This is just humorous, like fingergate.

Why did Obama quit smoking?

He was told to.

A man with so little conviction he won't stand up for his OWN rights won't defend ours.

(McCain can't smoke due to oxygen bottles).

His journeys have taken him through 47 states, the 9 circles of hell, and even the grotesque wastelands of Washington D.C.,...

Yes, 57... a formidable champion he will be, if only he can survive... KENTUCKY!!!(thunder crashes!)!!

We need some who can defend out right to fill our lungs with ash!

because smoking is absolutely beneficial to your health!

No I'm sorry, that's unacceptable.

Not knowing how many states there are is a clear sign that you lack the chauvinistic patriotism without which you clearly cannot be president. Had he only been wearing his trusty flag pin, he would have been able to look down and count how many stars were on it.

He also worships the devil. Did you know 57 is 609 away from 666? That's what you meant to say wasn't it? He's also a secret muslim, don't ask me how.

See, if only he had been up working at his desk at 3am, this would never have happened.

Sounded more like hes gone to 57 states...ie, one state more than once, in the campaign. Meh.

i think the time where the message in the sentence is "im knackered" is the time you let a mistake slide.

WOW, that's a really good point QM. Here I am going around casting my vote all willy-nilly when my candidate is clearly not quitting smoking of his own free will! That's the last time I trust MY instincts. Now that you mention it, it kind of makes me wonder why Bush quit drinking...
