    What the Fuck does that mean? That's like John Kerry saying he had a plan for this and that. But he NEVER said what his plan was.

    This is all I know about Obama is that he is for "change". I have to say "huh"? That's a good reason to vote for him. Please everyone don't be sheep this time.

    Well, if you say so. I value your political intelligence more than that of my own, so I will no longer be an Obama sheep. Obaaaaaaaaama (sounds a lot better in my head)

    it's obvious you didn't try too hard to find out what else he's about. you could have just searched by the one word you know, "change."

    if those 60 pages aren't enough for you, there's links on the inside with even more full detail. but like you're going to read it. it's clear you have your mind made up.

    Earlier this month in Oregon, Obama redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."

    lol, yeah I know. My point is that aren't "memorable quotes" supposed to be when you make fun of contradictions in a candidate? Meaning if there are no memorable quotes, then you can't make fun of the candidate for inconsistencies?

    well actually, he said his foreign policy is, in some ways, similar to that of your boy's.

    I heard that. That cracked me up. What did he do through in some of Canadian provinces for good measure? It's better overshooting than under, I guess.

    i think it's pretty likely he meant u.s. territories, such as guam, that voted for him or are capable of voting for him.

    you still can't get to 57. There are 50 states. All you can add in is P.R., Guam, V.I. and D.C. That is still only 54. This is what I mean, just admit he fucked up. He isn't going to be perfect. But stop defending things that we all know are wrong.

    The last 3 are called the V.I., they aren't counted separately, and you are missing DC which would make it 58, anyways. Again, you try to manipulate the facts around a bogus statement.

    the islands are separate landmasses. d.c. is not.

    i'm not trying to manipulate facts around a bogus statement. i find it hilarious this is what the issue is.

    Normal people would count legal entities (i.e. D.C). What do you say about Hawaii? Is that one state or seven. Your "logic" is falling apart. I just want you to admit he was wrong.

    quit making a fool of yourself. I'm not even an Obama supporter, but there's much more you can tear him apart for.

    when you see people doing memorable quotes for John McCain, you see that he contradicts himself on ACTUAL issues.

    "I had an uncle who was one of the, um, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps. And the story in our family is that when he came home he just went up in the attic and he didn't leave the house for six months."

    Yeah its so weird the things the Reps are using this election. It's like they're all nit-picking and whining. Reminds me of the arguements my 8 yr old son and my 8 yr old niece have. I had like 5 cookies yesterday. NO YOU DIDNT!! YOU ONLY HAD 4!! Ugh!

    Maybe, or he could just be confused with US Geography.

    I liked this one when he was asked about trailing Hillary in Kentucky.

    "What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

    I mean Illinois does border Kentucky whereupon Arkansas doesn't so I'm not really sure where he was going with that statement.

    well. in that quote obama doesn't state that arkansas borders kentucky, so i'm not sure where you are going with your statement. arkansas is near kentucky and in the same region (in 'the middle' there).

    he meant 47 states, not 57 states and territories. he said something to the effect of "I've been to 57 states with 1 more to go and 2 that I'm not going to because they're not going to allow me to get to Hawaii or Alaska."

    it was a misspeak or bushism, or whatever else you want to call it. I just have to wonder though if some of you people actually HEAR politicians saying these things directly or take your news from message boards. because it's quite clear from the whole quote that he meant 47 states.

    here's the whole quote btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws
