Obama's Senior Moment
Was that a bad joke? And if not, did he really not catch himself when people started laughing? Maybe he needs to start wearing a flag pin so he could use the stars on it as a reference. Best guess is he meant he had been to 47 states (since he implies there are three states he hasn't been to). McCain would not get away with that gaffe. (hat tip Hot Air) UPDATE: This is a good point. Isn't this way dumber than anything Dan Quayle said? What's better known: The spelling of "potato" or how many states are in the union? What's better known if you're a U.S. Senator (not from Idaho)? 30 Responses To "Obama's Senior Moment"
I think he was including all of the state sponsors of terror, with which he is so enamoured. #1 - Posted by: Master Shake on May 9, 2008 06:19 PMSorry, I lost my bearings and used the half-African mathematics that Louis Farrakhan taught me. Not that I'd expect you crackers and your honkey math to understand. #2 - Posted by: Barack Obama on May 9, 2008 06:30 PMSounds like he plans to add a few. Who knew there was an imperialistic Obama? Like Paaakistaaan after his invasion. But not Iraq, nooooooooo. That's Booooosh's. Maybe Mehico? #3 - Posted by: Jimmy on May 9, 2008 06:42 PMAnd if John McCain had done this, it would be the lead story on the news, with people questioning if he has developed Alzhimers. #4 - Posted by: joby10095 on May 9, 2008 07:16 PMThere is no liberal media bias... Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. The Great and Powerful Oz has spoken! #5 - Posted by: motopolitico on May 9, 2008 07:30 PMHis staff wouldn't let him go to Alaska and Hawaii? Who's in charge here? If he wants to go to those states, can't he stand up to his own staff and remind them who's in charge? Can we expect that same bold leadership when he talks to the UN? To Congress? To his cabinet? Sheesh #6 - Posted by: john1v6 on May 9, 2008 07:44 PMIt seems to this casual observer that your bias toward Senator Obama has reached the level of hero worship. This marks a dramatic turn away from your prior well-earned reputation for fairness, evenness, and showing bias neither for or against anyone. As a devoted follower of this fine site, I applaud your decision to become devoted followers of Senator Obama, but fear that I may have to turn elsewhere for hard news. Can you set aside my concerns somehow by bestowing something other than glowing praise on Mr. Obama? As to the details of the current post, note that it is difficult to keep straight all the details of a country in which you were not raised. #7 - Posted by: Socrates on May 9, 2008 09:16 PMCrickey!! This is too funny! Joe Lieberman is personally in touch with John McCain's bearings: #8 - Posted by: Jimmy on May 9, 2008 11:22 PMNice game there, #8. You be my Doppleganger. Actually, had I found that link, I would have posted it. It's just that my choice of words would have been different! "Crickey!!" - bwahahahaha. :-) #9 - Posted by: Jimmy on May 9, 2008 11:37 PMVote the three "C" 's - castrated, corrupt, communist - BO in '08 #10 - Posted by: Stonecutter on May 10, 2008 12:53 AMThose last seven are different states of mind, how deep is that? You were all wondering how he could spin it. He sure showed you. #11 - Posted by: seanquixote on May 10, 2008 01:03 AMThere's really an innocent explanation: Democrats can't do arithmetic. Accountants, engineers, and other people who have calculators on their desks tend to vote Republican. People who believe in rainbow unicorns tend to vote Democrat. #12 - Posted by: Mitch on May 10, 2008 01:09 AMHey, you can't give sub-Saharan Africa welfare checks unless you make them states! Let's see whitey EVER win a primary again... #13 - Posted by: bunkerboy on May 10, 2008 01:09 AMMath is for bitter clingers! Get back on-board with the Hope/Change thingy! McCain is still going to get so bitch slapped in the fall! #14 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on May 10, 2008 06:32 AMHe has been under the impression all these years that the 57 on his Heinz 57 stood for the number of American States, so cut him some slack here people... #15 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on May 10, 2008 06:58 AMTRUE TO YOUR TAG LINE. THE HATRED AND IGNORANCY OF HARD WORKING AMERICIANS{WHITE PEOPLE} WILL NEVER END TO THE GOD OF THE CHOSEN FEW GET TIRED OF YOUR DEVILMENT [Good to know! -Ed.] #16 - Posted by: MR. LEE X SLAVE on May 10, 2008 07:45 AMWow. Somebody forgot to remove the caps lock, put in commas and periods and of course can't be bothered to make any sense at all. Jibberish is as jibberish does. Must be troll season. It is very unfair, however, to hunt those without the means to defend themselves. In the battlefield of intelligent debate trolls are most often without armor or weaponry. How sad. #17 - Posted by: seanmahair on May 10, 2008 08:27 AMDang, I was so entranced by the shouting I forgot I actually had something to say. Mr. Obama's having math issues. That's just what we need in a chief executive, someone who can't count. "So you want me to authorize I billion in foreign aid to Iran?" That Barry what a card. #18 - Posted by: seanmahair on May 10, 2008 08:35 AMHey, give him a break. He looked like he was tired. It isn't like he will have to make any decisions when he is tired after he is elected. Phone rings at 3am, it can wait until the morning for a rational decision. Personally I think there should be at least one debate where all the candidates are forced to operate sleep deprived, and then perform a bunch of simple routine tasks. This debate would show us who is best able to handle pressure. It would never happen, but it would be interesting. Then again, maybe a caged death match, at least for the primaries. #19 - Posted by: Marvin on May 10, 2008 09:19 AMPerhaps we should ask for their sat scores #20 - Posted by: slapout on May 10, 2008 01:56 PMHow about a contest to design Obama's new 57 state lapel pin? #21 - Posted by: Dave on May 10, 2008 03:47 PMhaha what an idiot!! #22 - Posted by: Amanda on May 11, 2008 01:24 AMYou have to be careful laughing at the 57 states "gaffe." It was probably a slip of the tongue reference to the Democrats new redistricting plan. Unfamiliar with this strategy? Check out Congressman Bobby Scott's District, here, in Virginia. If shown a map of his district, most people outside of Virginia, think you're "pulling their leg." Washington D.C. would be the 51st state and Puerto Rico would be 52. They'd carve the other five out of Democratic areas of the remaining Red States... ;^] #23 - Posted by: Strnj1 on May 11, 2008 07:44 AMOh... And then, of course, they'd declare them "Sanctuary States..." #24 - Posted by: Strnj1 on May 11, 2008 08:26 AMI wonder how Obama would score on: (1) A US History exam (2) An oral pier review on Federal Government organization and operations (3) "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth-Grader?" Useless speculation? I mentioned yesterday to an Obama supporter that he simply has insufficient experience to be President, irrespective of his political views. He would never be considered for CEO of a major corpoation (which the US is), so why should the Presidency be any different? #25 - Posted by: Jimmy on May 11, 2008 11:42 AMObama, PBUH, was just using his creative right-handed brain, something you left-brained, logical crackers wouldn't understand. Have an Evil day. #26 - Posted by: DrEvil on May 11, 2008 02:18 PMOoooh! He meant ARAB states. #27 - Posted by: Tommy the Towelhead on May 11, 2008 05:39 PMPennsylvania is also a big potato state, in which misspelling the word potato would not be excused. #28 - Posted by: George guy on May 12, 2008 04:51 AMWell, check out this link of silliness: When Obama Wins #29 - Posted by: jks on May 12, 2008 10:06 AMSilly Frank, Barry O. would NEVER be caught dead wearing a flag pin. Least not an American flag pin anyway. On a serious note, scary stuff I received in email; worth a look. It would probably be an easy search to find out how true it is: Celeste and Loren Davis are missionaries in Africa and can shed some light on one of our Presidential candidates. Dear Billy Sam, What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true muslim way. We will have been working with them for 20 years this July! He is not an American as we know it. God Bless you. Pray for us here in Kenya. We are still fighting for our nation to withstand the same kind of assult that every nation, including America, is fighting. Takeover from the outside to fit the new world order. As believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya, not one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, burned alive. Jesus Christ is our peace but the new world order of Globalism has infiltrated the church and confused believers into thinking that they can compromise and survive. It won't be so. I will send you a newsletter we sent out in February documenting in a more cohesive manner what I've tried to say in a few paragraphs. Celeste and Loren Davis Post a comment
