OBAMA'S "57 STATES" JUST A GAFFE?
9-8-08 | N-SIDETRK

Posted on 09/08/2008 2:53:52 PM PDT by nsidetrk

I received this in an email today and wonder if this is authentic.From Rush Limbaugh's radio show ..... Hey, folks, you want to tweak the Drive-By Media with me right now? You are aware, probably, that Barack Obama lost his bearings recently and said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states. You heard this? And everybody chalked it up to, 'Well, he's tired.' You know, this is a Dan Quayle moment. I mean, Dan Quayle goes out there and misspells 'potato,' and we still hear jokes about it. Barack Obama says he's gonna go out and campaign in 57 states, he was just tired, you know, it's been such a long campaign, he's been so many places, he probably thinks there are 57 states. Well, I have here a print-out from a web site called the International Humanist and Ethical Union . And here is how the second paragraph of an article on that website begins. 'Every year from 1999 to 2005 the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states presented a resolution to the United Nations Commission ! on! human rights called combating.' Obama said he's going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states. There are 57 Islamic states. So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip, ladies and gentlemen? KEEP IT GOING, FOLKS!

There are are a lot of great reasons to criticize Obama, but this is not one of them. Obama is a threat to the U.S. because of his extreme leftism, not because he's a secret Mulsim.

Let's focus on the real issues, instead of trying to act like anti-Obama Olbermans.

Sure you laugh now, but once Obama’s ACORN group gets to work, and every terrorist from all 57 Islamist states (plus their pets) votes twice in November, who’ll have the last laugh?

it’s part of their strategy if they lose in November- they can then whine that “all the votes must be counted” claiming not all 57 states were counted....

He probably spent a lot of time with Teresa Heinz that day, and she was showing him the 57 different varieties.

I know about Obama’s 57 States comment, but anything beginning with “From Rush Limbaugh’s radio show . . .” is usually fake.

Sorry, but, you can’t fake the truth:

He actually thinks that there are 60 states because he says that he has visited 57 states and has one more to go, which equals 58.

Then, he says that his staff wouldn’t let him visit Alaska or Hawaii.

Total: 60 states, straight from his mouth to everybody’s ears.

That 57 states shows he has it in his brain

No, he thinks there SHOULD be 57, the other 7? DC & Harlem (counting double), Haiti, Puerto Rico, & Estados Reunito (all illegal immigrants). That outta be enough to outweigh McCain/Palin....

That doesn’t actually sound like anything Rush would say. Obama did say the 57 state thing.
For anyone interested, on Facebook is a group called “These 57 United States Against Barack Obama”. So far it has 794 members. Lol

I don’t kinda wonder anymore. I don’t believe there is any baptism record, either. He was supported in law school by Saudi money. This guy is the Meccan candidate.

Yes, I know, Rush said that Obama said he had been in 57 states.

You said that it was probably fake if it was uttered by Rush.

I just gave you link that proved it was true.

I’m not sure why you are confused.

The significant thing is that “57”is the word that attaches to “states” in his mind. They just naturally go together. Just a coincidence.
