"Obama had been on the campaign trail for 16 months at that point and he was rebuked in the media and online for his remark, The LA Times noted."

Obama made a slip of the tongue because he was tired from his heroic campaigning to transform America.

Obama’s blunder was also seized by conspiracy theorists who also claimed that he was not born in America or was Muslim.

There are a lot of numbers he could have randomly selected other than 50 or 57. This was a Freudian slip, where something uppermost in his subconscious popped out at an inopportune time.

I don’t know who or what “Morgan Gstalter” is, but he / she / it can’t write. This is nothing but a rambling, incoherent piece of anti-Trump propaganda, without cause and without point. Hell, there’s not even any real passion there - just another pile of word vomit attacking Trump for being alive.

The author, Morgan Gstalter, is showing up with increasingly-regular occurrence these days.

Crazier eyes, you will not find.

Obama visited all 57 states while he was deployed as a Corpsman.

((though Obama would have NO idea what it means to be deployed OR what a corpsman is))

or When Obama said they speak “Austrian” in Austria.

or when Obama said “corpse man” instead of Corpsman.

or when Obama locked himself out of the White House and repeatedly tugged on a locked door (hey it was all the rage when Bush tugged on a locked door during a visit to China).

or when Obama bonked his head getting into Marine One

etc etc

There are 57 states in The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
The media deliberately gave him a pass. I’ll never forgive them for what they did to Quayle over the “spelling” of potato(e).

They also did not point out that he was not a natural born citizen and thus ineligible to be President.

Does anyone remember Bush I making the mistake of making conversation over the supermarket scanning device...

How about Bob Dole saying cigarettes are not addictive....

Dan Quale failing to correct the mis-spelling of potatoes....

Each one of these Republicans was hammered constantly for weeks over these gaffes. Obama was given a bye on the 57 states misspeak.

Also, no one could mention his middle name “Hussein” without being disbarred from the media for being racist.

“...Obama eventually released his birth certificate to counter the claims.”

ALMOST a true statement. Here, I’ll fix it.

Obama eventually released “A FAKE” birth certificate to “TRY” to counter the claims.

I am reminded of Obama talking about inhilators and breathalyzers in Bristol. And the presstitudes think he was a great speaker. Horse manure.

Years back in the 2008 election cycle I was in a room of fellow Googlers who were having fun attributing ridiculous things that a comedian said on behalf of Sarah Palin to Sarah Palin herself. And I mentioned that the latest was she had mentioned that there were 57 states. They were excited and gleeful, faces lighting up around the room. I then feigned to have been confused and corrected myself that it was actually Obama who had said it. And the smiles instantly disapeared for some reason.

The moral of the story is to not ever be like the people in that room: not caring about what was really real, only caring to find tid bits of half truths that make you feel better about your partisan tribe.

I had held up hope that the culture of Google could overcome that shallow bigotry in regard to politics. Years later and seeing how they have behaved since as a company, and the recent tapes that have come out, I have to admit I was wrong.
