A commenter: “I’m sure if George Bush had made a blunder like that all the democrats would be calling him a dope and Oliver Stone would make a movie about it.”
McAin doesn’t know how many houses that his wife owns but I bet he knows where is is!
I wondered if the daughter was put up to it in order to clarify Kansas City after Michelle noted the St. Louis gaffe.
Hard to tell. He could have easily said he was in St. Louis all over again!
St. Louis and Kansas City are filled with typical white people.
They all look alike.
That seems likely.
The little girls are really cute, but I think politicians should avoid using their kids as props, especially since it’s unseemly for us to say anything about them (as it should be for little kids).

The daughters had visible ear pieces.
It was all prompted and scripted by puppet masters.
LOL
Obama has made “gaffes” that worry me. This one doesn’t. The way these candidates travel, I’m surprised that they can remember where they are. Obama’s reference to gun-toting religious people, for example, revealed his heart. This didn’t reveal anything to me.
bttt
I have mixed feelings about showing the children. While I don’t like the idea of politicians “using” their children, I do like to see the family of the person I may or may not vote for. It completes an important picture.
As soon as they cut away to the commentators, they were absolutely tripping over each other to make excuses for Obama's not knowing what city he was in. It was ohhhhh so understandable, totally human, endearing even. If McCain makes a mistake like that, they'll have Altzheimer's experts on to analyze the early indicators. Humps.
Obama's daughters were very cute though. Adorable.
I would’ve laffed like hell if he did say “St. Louis” again.
It’s simple, folks. He’s just going on with his plans to have 57 states...it’s hard for him to tell which state he’s on now.
Obama doesn’t know s^%$ from shinola, I guess.
And just who is this “Girardo” family prop anyway? Laura noted that the camera panned to show that is was, indeed, a white family.
At least he didn’t misspell “potato”. That would have really been serious.
His name is Obama???.....
Maybe his name should be....Obumbler
No, it wasn't. Ear pieces are mandatory for those types of back and forth satellite hookups. Otherwise, when one side speaks, it would get picked up by the other side's microphone and get repeated, which would be picked up by the first site's microphones and repeated again.
Depending on the amount of delay, it would either sound like a Grand Canyon echo, or worse each echo be delayed by about a second or so.
St Louis, Kansas?
Oh Michelle, you look like like did coke with all the sniffling. Just saying.
Michelle Malkin: Leave The Obama Girls Alone - Oh, Never Mind
Ain’t no surprise. Most Chicagoans don’t know St. Louis from Kansas City.
I had to turn it off when the first “Hi daddy” was said.
The silly ass probably thought the convention was in Boulder as well. He couldn’t identify himself if he were put in front of a dozen mirrors.
This has a ‘new’ McCain ad written all over it. Something to the effect of: “They make a big deal out of how many houses my wife owns, but their candidate doesn’t even know where he is.....if he doesn’t know where he is...how can he lead...” or something to that effect. They just keep giving McCain more and more ammo. Too funny.
At the start of his speech on Thursday: “It is a pleasure to be with you in Aspen tonight. Thank you so much.”
“At least he didn’t misspell “potato”. That would have really been serious.”
My first thought, as well.
For making a very common spelling error, Dan Quayle has been rendered utterly stupid, on a level unmatched in American political history, for all eternity by the propagandizing liars in the LeftMedia.
There are plenty of books and websites featuring all of the Bushisms. Where are the websites and books featuring Obamaisms. As far as the little girls go they are only cute for a minute. What worries me is that Barack Hussein and Michelle think they can run this country when they cant even control their children. The little one now seven years old was screaming out at her daddy when any child who had been raised properly would have known to be quiet. God forbid Hussein Obama makes it to the White House. Will little Shaniqua and She Nay Nay be busting into the oval office screaming out for there daddy. I realize they are calling out for him constantly to make sure he is still there because most black children don’t know their daddy’s but last night was ridiculous.
Why did Michelle have to tell Barry Hussein Obama, “that’s Sasha”?
Does he not know his own children?
I will bet you $100 that this is glossed over by the MSM because it was said by the Dalai Bama, the most brilliant man in the world, Savior of All Things Liberal, our "Gift from G-d".
THAT is why this is important.
Doesn’t everyone know that THE city of Kansas City / St. Louis is located in one of states 51-57?
And the final graphic would look like this:
BARACK OBAMA:
WRONG MAN,
WRONG TIME,
WRONG CITY
McCain knows that no matter where he is, it is a good day when the lock is on the inside of the door...:)
That seems likely.
The little girls are really cute, but I think politicians should avoid using their kids as props, especially since it’s unseemly for us to say anything about them (as it should be for little kids).”
Dimorats do it all the time.
Chelsea was used as a pawn by the Clinton’s and Amy Carter was all we saw.
Wasn’t until a couple of years ago when carpetbagger Jack Carter tried to run for an office here in Nevada that I found out Jimmah Carter even had a son.
Next we will see a ventriloquist’s dummy.....
However, I do admit the "57 States" gaffe really weirded me out and got my attention. You know, get him away from a teleprompter...
Michelle’s sniffing makes her look like she’s about to hawk up something unpleasant.
So Jackie O.
Mixing up the citie’s names is important.
ORadical is sitting quietly at a kitchen table and he can’t figure out where he is.
Not exactly a pressure cooker crisis situation.
And he bungled his message to his daughters asking them to take care of Mommy.
ORadical can’t sit at the kitchen table talking to his wife and daughters without a teleprompter.
Bringing the kids out was of course a rehearsed dog and pony show, including the “I love you daddy” at the end, but the kid realized all by herself it seemed that he had said he was somewhere other than where she was told he was.
Perhaps you’re onto something about Michelle’s onset of sniffling.
Was that post speech sniffling an attempt, real or feigned, to stifle tears of emotion?
Did the beginning of a head cold overtake her at the conclusion of her speech? Post nasal drip? She showed no signs of such during her speech.
Perhaps it’s what she does when she’s nervous, as she likely was when her hubby announced he was somewhere he wasn’t and she was in the midst of some risky moments when she knew they were taking the risk of her kids saying something extemporaneously that they shouldn’t.
Or is sniffling/sniffing just an annoying habit of hers that was meant to show the American public her human side.
“Good evening, Springfield!” Er. “..St. Louis!” er, “I’m mean, I was in St. Louis LAST NIGHT and YOU are a much better crowd! Barack the vote!!!”
Maybe his daughter hasn’t seen much of Daddy because of his 4 years of campaigning for the White House.
Obama always knows where he is ... in his 57 states.
I agree. The real issue here is how the press treats it. If any Republican expects fair treatment from the press, then he or she should stay out of politics.
However, they certainly do not talk alike.
I think the whole exchange was a setup. Uhbamuh makes a supposed gaffe and then his daughter basically corrects him to further endear him to the public. Use the adorable child to make Uhbamuh and his wife seem down to earth.
Right state. Wrong side.
Yes. It’s one thing to have the kids around, I mean they are part of the family and will be seen, but as a parent, I would think you would try to minimize their actual contact with the public. I remember how cruel people were about Chelsea, and altho I dislike the Clintons as much as anyone, she was a little girl, and that’s gotta be difficult for her. But, when they trot them out as props, they are inserting them into the mix.

What do you think about a 10 year old wearing a spaghetti strap, low cut dress? Didn't look much like a little girl to me.
Potatoe was spelled with an “e” on the flash card that Quayle was using.
