    "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."

    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.


    i am sure he meant 47 states...

    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."

    it was tongue-in-cheek humor... he was joking ...meaning he'd been staying busy.

    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

    Illinois borders Kentucky while Arkansas doesn't, which makes Obama technically "closer."

    Barack just wanted to find an easier way to say that kentucky is full of white people that love hillary.

    oh i see what you're saying. but only a small portion of IL borders KY. and KY is definitely more of a southern state than IL is.

    what does that mean exactly? that Kentucky is to the south of Illinois? if so, you are correct.

    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.


    You said the first part and then had the nerve to call people sheep? You fell for the Republican/Fox News talking points pretty good with that Kerry comment.

    Seriously, Kerry would spend a day giving the same speech in three different states laying out a plan for issue x or y, then on the news that night, Fox and all of the Bush mouthpiece interviewed on all of the networks would say he didn't have a plan on the issue that he spent all day talking about. Sheep is right...

    i mean KY is a Southern state. we're talking dixie here. it is part of the south. the southern region of the united states. IL is a midwestern state. regional differences have existed for many years now. KY will have certain regional similarities to AR because they are part of the south.

    um, no, we're not talking dixie here. "dixie" is a reference to the "deep south" or the former confederate states. Kentucky is not deep south and was not a confederate state. Arkansas is deep south and was a confederate state.

    while I generally agree that Kentucky is a southern state, it is BARELY a southern state. if the mason-dixon line were drawn all the way from the east coast to the west, Kentucky's northern border would be on the line. and the line would go through the middle of Illinois. so does that mean that Illinois is "half southern"? Kentucky also borders Ohio and Indiana, and I would imagine Kentucky residents probably have more in common with these people (as well as people from Virginia and Tennesee) than they do with people from Arkansas.
