Barak Obama 57 states campaigned with one to go.

And so it goes in national politics: The goofs, gaffes, and blunders of the tongue… Or are they? In a recent speech, we learned of the Barak Obama 57 States campaign that he’s been on all year. Yup, 57 states - he said it himself! Slip of the tongue while on the stump? Could be, but then again, given this guy’s track record of late (i.e. the whole fiasco with the Rev. Wright, etc.) it may be exactly what he thinks, that the U.S. has at least 57 states.

You’re not helping yourself Barak with stupid comments like that… hate to tell ya….

For such a smooth talker who early on filled massive rooms and halls and auditoriums and made the women swoon with his vapid speeches about nothing, basically, (ok, he talked “change” and “hope” — woooo hooooo!), you wouldn’t expect such a gaffe. What the hell was he thinking?

And he wants to be President?

Um, excuse me, Senator Obama, sir? Ummm, the first basic requirement and qualification for being President of the United States is to know some basics about the United States of America, like, for example, how many states are in the United States of America? Huh? Huh?

Obama: “Oh sure, I can answer that. Here goes: The United States has, ummm, 57 states! Yes, 57! Mmmm hmmmm!”.

***BUZZZZZZZZZ**** Wrongo big guy, but thanks for playing!

I love how the national main stream press is simply writing this off as a “miscount”. A miscount? Excuse me? And that in making this verbal blunder, the press is saying Obama has given bloggers, pundits, and newscasters (and the Clinton campaign) something to talk about, to nit-pick about. Damn right he has! This guy walks around with his silky smooth chatter and cocky swagger and can’t even correctly state a simple fact in a speech? Sorry, but he won’t get any slack from this blogger!

Here’s the whole part of that speech from the other day captured in this video clip:

And you weren’t allowed to go to Hawaii and Alaska per orders of your staff? What? Those happen to be two of our states, mister! Duh! But maybe those two don’t really count, because afterall, according to Obama, 57 states plus one more will just about do it!
