Quote:
"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

I’ll be the greatest mayor your company has ever seen. I’ll put money back into the shareholder’s pockets by taking it and investing it wisely. I hear tulips are coming back...

Pakistan

The extra states must have been added while he has been absent from the senate.

“I can only name 50 of ‘em.”

Do you feel “bitter” about this inadequacy?

Meh. I know folks love to get on Pubbies when they make these kinds of mistakes. Heck, if Bush did this, it would be the leads story and the front page.

Still...it is just a slip by a guy who has been campaigning hard.

Of course, that doesn't excuse him for being a commie. ;)
