Yesterday The Ticket broke the stunning news of America's acquisition of seven, maybe eight, new states, according to future president Barack Obama.

He was speaking at the start of a two-day swoop through Oregon, which is already a state.

In Beaverton, which is not a state yet, the Democrat let it slip that during this marathon 16-month party presidential nomination struggle against a bunch of dropouts and this female political zombie from New York who won't surrender short of a silver stake, he had already visited 57 states with one more to go.

That's not counting the existing states of Alaska and Hawaii, he said, which his staff decided aren't important enough to visit. Unless maybe you're Mike Gravel or Dennis Kucinich, who weren't very important either, come to think of it.

At least he didn’t spell potato wrong!

[madison10]

What sort of stupid flag is that anyway? and what/where are the other seven “states?”

[rickmichaels]

So where are the left-wing loons condemning Obama’s imperialist, expansionist agenda?

[Turret Gunner A20]

At least he didn’t spell potato wrong! It's TATER, ignoramus!!!!!! Ain't you got no smarts?????

[boycott]

It will feel like at least 57 states if he gets in. We’ll feel like Kenya is a new state because we’ll be supporting them. Same for the new state of Palistine. I am sure he’ll find other states around the world for us to support too.

[rickmichaels]

Uh, read the article.

[nuconvert]

LoL

[madison10]

I did read the article...he meant to say 47...but he didn’t. McCain would have been hammered for the same mistake.

[freekitty]

Help us dear Lord as we do not need a President who doesn’t know how many states we have.

[maggief]

LOL ... should be sixty, though.

He must be using Wright-brain math.

[UB355]

has anybody posted his grades from school ?

[roses of sharon]

HALP US BARAK O’BAMA WE R STUK HERE IN AMERIKA

[rickmichaels]

OK, sorry. This would be on the front page of the NY Slimes if W. had said it in 2000.

Let the exposure of this socialist begin!!!

[nuconvert]

Actually, if you add up what he said, he thinks there are 60 states.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

He can spell”spud!”

[rodguy911]

Anybody got some change,Ahhh needs some change...

[missnry]

Another guy had a problem with 57!

[purpleraine]

Evidence of the new North American country.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I used to have an old Field and Stream magazine from the early 1970’s which had an article about how bow hunting was allowed in all 52 states. (Yes, 52 states)

[bvw]

Obama saith: 57 states, PLUS Alaska, PLUS Hawaii, PLUS one state not visited.

That's 60 states, according to The Obamessiah. Still. It is suitable to have a Lapel Pin of 57, because that is the count which His Selfitude deigned worthy of visitude.

[Living Free in NH]

HALP US BARAK O’BAMA WE R STUK HERE IN AMERIKA

Isn't it spelled "AMERIKKKA"?

[Telepathic Intruder]

Maybe that’s one of the thing he’s gonna change.

[sbark]

I beleive he was more than coincidentaly thinking of the 57 states in the Organization of the Islamic Conf.

[crz]

Living proof that abortions must be made mandatory for liberals.

[Malesherbes]

After the original article came the comments of several B.O.bots who don’t find this amusing at all. They are for him because of his “policies.” Name three; the first two don’t count. Oh, but we can HOPE (trade mark pending) that he’ll come up with a few when he takes office.

[ricks_place]

Obama basks in the adulation from all 57 Democrat primaries. Americans are pleased that Obama recognizes the 50 actual United States and puzzled at his State attribution to the Democrat primary Territories of American Samoa, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas, and Democrats Abroad. Obama is losing his bearings!

[mass55th]

"Living proof that abortions must be made mandatory for liberals."

Yeah, so we're not "punished" with morons like this.

[NoLibZone]

From his standpoint he is correct.

There are 57 muslim states.

[livius]

Yipes! Is that true? If so, this probably was in the back of his mind somewhere when that number popped out. He’s probably been having “briefings,” and hey, what’s a candidate to do?

[swatbuznik]

Bush’s fault! A child was left behind.

[longtermmemmory]

57? seems somebody is stuck on Heinz-Kerry.

[spokeshave]

DING...Ding...ding ...we have a winner....

"From his standpoint he is correct. There are 57 muslim states".

Flashback for Obambi from his earler "education" at the madrasses....

And someone ask him what is the most beautiful music....

(hint...mooslim call to prayer)

[Fresh Wind]

Actually, if you add up what he said, he thinks there are 60 states.

Maybe not. The correct total might be 58. He said he hadn't been to Alaska or Hawaii, but since he wasn't allowed to go there, they might not actually be states.

[TornadoAlley3]

[NoLibZone]

To Muslims there are 57 Nations.

Yes its true.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an inter-governmental organization grouping fifty-seven States.

He did not make a mistake.

In his world ( Ummah) there are 57 States

[rawcatslyentist]

Senator O, do you now, or have you ever, bowed and prayed towards mecca?

[citizencon]

If I remember correctly the liberal MSM began portraying GWB as “stupid” when he merely mispronounced the name of a foreign leader.
Obama’s “stupidity” is real, serious and frightening...

[353FMG]

Does Obambi know something we don’t?

[TornadoAlley3]

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

1. District of Columbia

2. Puerto Rico

3. US Virgin Islands

4. ?

5. ?

6. ?

7. ?

I do know that if elected, he will bring with him the "state of Chaos" although I can't seem to locate it on a map.

[afortiori]

Kerry-Heinz was exactly what I thought of when I heard that number.

Still, to everyone I wouldn't overplay the significance of this gaffe.

[Ed Condon]

Actually, I think the U.S. consists of 46 states, 4 commonwealths, several territories,and some protectorates.

[353FMG]

“..we do not need a President who doesn’t know how many states we have.”

His alleged ignorance of the number of states that constitute the US is one of the least ominous of his qualities.

[SkyDancer]

Depends upon where you’re from ... both spellings are acceptable ... though potatoe will cause some spell checks to correct it to potato .....

[SkyDancer]

Well one of the states is the state of confusion ....

[freekitty]

True; but it’s a good starter red flag.
