Obama's 57 States & other lessons

Sure, it’s just a goofy, clumsy mispeak that could happen to anyone. The sort of thing I ordinarily wouldn’t even write about because we all misspeak. It happens.

But…I dunno…I’m not a spiteful sort but it seems like there just needs to be some balance, doesn’t it? If Bush had talked about visiting “57 states” we’d see it run on every channel, in an endless loop, for days on end. We’d be hearing “moron, moron, moron,” etc.

I don’t think Obama is a moron and I would never call him that. But hey, the guy talked about 57 states. Undoubtedly, the press will not be running an endless loop, so I might as well at least link to this custom made-57-state lapel flag.

If Obama supporters had a sense of humor, they’d actually make these things and wear them. If Bush had made the gaffe, I’d do it! :-)

Meanwhile, Baldilocks notes that Obama don’t know much about history, either.

But I would never call him a moron. Only GOP mistakes and misspeaks count, though, it seems.

Beth has questions for Obama.

And…someone is cackling.
