[SolidWood]

Freudian slip.

[Ooh-Ah]

Rush just mentioned this...

[vietvet67]

Fox showing him now wearing a flag pin. What a fraud..

[EagleUSA]

Freudian slip.
::::::
Maybe — this guy is a closet Muslim by his own admission publicly and in his book. Just what America needs in the White House....

[Hegemony Cricket]

Could be “Code”ian Slip...

[RonnG]

The good thing is that, unlike Cassius Clay, Barack Hussein Obama won’t have to change his name when he professes his Moslem faith the day after the election

[Theo]

You wrote that “this guy is a closet Muslim by his own admission....”

Do you have a reference for that?

[OrioleFan]

A good way to check it would be to look at his travels and see if he has actually been in 57 of the lower 58 states. If not he slipped up...

[theDentist]

Maybe he was thinking of some fries and ketchup...

[Hoboken]

One just doesn't slip up and say 57 when one means to say 50. That is unless, of course, the phrase "57 states" is already bouncing around one's duplicitous little brain. Hmmm.

[Blue Turtle]

Doesn’t the Koran state you can lie about your religion if your intentions are to destroy the west???

[NativeNewYorker]

An odd, indeed improbable, slip for someone BORN in the 50th state...Hawaii.

[COUNTrecount]

[Ooh-Ah]

An odd, indeed improbable, slip for someone BORN in the 50th state...Hawaii.

Good point.

[Holicheese]

Is there a link to him saying this?
I just heard this a minute ago.

[BlueStateBlues]

What flag pin is he wearing? A crescent moon by any chance?

This 57 plus 3 state coincidence is interessting, one of those stranger-than-fiction discoveries. Obama, what a cut-up. He should go into stand up comedy.

[Sig Sauer P220]

He just continues to expose himself for what he is.

Seeing as the West is in Dar'al Harb (the House of War), yes. See taqqyia. Linky: http://www.ndu.edu/inss/Press/jfq_pages/editions/i45/17.pdf (search for taqqiya)
