Answer 1

Of course not. He was tired. Can you give him a break? He has given your candidate a break. Obama is a true statesman and a diplomat.

Answer 2

I think he said 57 states.  In my opinion he was probably referring to the 50 states and their territories.  But yes, he did say 57 states.  

Does McCain think all Asians are "gooks"?

Well Mikey, according to the article, he didn't make the distinction, I suppose we were supposed to figure it out for ourselves.  Are the people that we are fighting against in Iraq considered "gooks" too, or the Germans?  My point was why apply that term to any Asians?  We can go on and on pointing out other peoples umm, "mispeakings" (if that is even a word), but it is something politicians do all the time, not just the ones we don't like.  However, it still doesn't help much when you are a politician and you use a racial slur to label anyone. But, I see my point was totally missed.

Answer 3

PUUUULEASE!!!!!!That is one stupid question.

Answer 4

reasons why the obama biden ticket is better:

1. obama has much more experience than palin. look at this palin just came from nowhere to be a vice president. in two months do you think people in all of america will know what she eally possesses? no....obama has been on the campaign for some time and has truly demonstrated with hard work of who he really is.

2. he has taken his criticism and showed that he has class and quality

3. mccain says he has been a 'veteran' of war but obama is a true veteran of the community and will be a veteran for America! obama gave up his acception to work at the wall street and he been supporting communities most of his livelihood.

4. he loves all races. he has a mixed heritage and i think both white and black people will learn to love each other more and more everyday.

5. obama do not use people to get votes. he expects people to vote on issues unlike mccain who is a user and uses palin just to get votes. i'm sure he would ask palin to leave if she ever gets to be v.p.

6. my vice leader biden has exceptional experience in the senate.

7. he has good foreign policy experience which would give the country a good edge in making useful negotiations with other countries on the issue of war

MY TWO LEADERS OBAMA AND BIDEN HAVE CLASS AND EXCEPTIONAL QUALITIES. OBAMA AND BIDEN ALL THE WAY!!!!

Answer 5

Where have you been. That was before McCain said he didn't know what a sunni or shite was. Except Obama understands that he just mis-spoke he has kept a schedule with more things in one day than McCain does in a month.

Answer 6

He misspoke.  He was just tired at the time.  He intended to say 47 with 1 to go (referring to the contiguous states).

Answer 7

yep, actually he said 57, but he corrected himself 'almost immediately', within 2 days or so, and correctly stated that there are 50 states, so yeah, we should give him the benefit of the doubt, after all he is a 'community organizer', a 'Mayor Daly' democrat, who in winning his first public election, actually had the other 2 candidates, from his own party, disqualified over technicalities...he's a nice guy, he will be great at organizing the community, or disqualifying the other candidates, or raising taxes or spending tax money, but I wonder, will he still use 'Hussein' as his middle name??

Oh 'jessica', no we do not call all orientals 'gooks', only the one's who were shooting and trying to kill us in 'nam.  Oh, you weren't there?  And you don't blame them, after all we should not have been there?  It was our fault?  Well, excuse me for serving my country, and remember, it was JFK and LBJ who got us in there, and good old 'tricky d**k Nixon who got us out, so, yep if they are VC shooting at me, they are still gooks, can't speak for McCain however...

Answer 8

Well, he is shown on video saying he had been to 57 or 58 of them.  So, not sure where he dug up the extras.  Maybe he had a premonition about Alaska being such a big deal this time around and counted it multiple times.

Answer 9

Who is Barack Obama?

Answer 10

And he probably thinks theres a Church's chicken in all of them

Answer 11

Obama probably did think that, but I imagine someone has "taken him to school" on that issue since then.  

Answer 12

Probably meant something like traveled through states 58 times. Counting going through one again as another state. I really doubt that he actually believed there were 58 states.

That or he just messed up and meant 48 or something.

Answer 13

Yep!  but I believe he stated that he had been to all four corners of 57 states.  He was told that he would not be going to Hawaii or Alaska.  I think he meant 59.

The following is one of my other favorite quotes from Obama:

In May, Obama mentioned "Uncle Charlie" at a meeting with veterans but mistakenly said Payne had helped liberate Auschwitz, when he should have said Buchenwald. Bloggers seized on the error and the Republican Party demanded an explanation.

Obama's campaign corrected the mistake the next day. Soviet forces liberated Auschwitz as they marched across Poland in January 1945.

Do we really want a man who is lacking in geography and history to be our next president?  This is rather disconcerning, to say the least.

Answer 14

What do you mean...there's not?

Answer 15

McCain has forgotten how many houses he owns, and where Pakistan is on the world map the two most important issues in this election, McCain's three main groups of voters are die hard republicans, racists,

pissed off feminists.

Answer 16

Obama is not about to let the good citizens of the states of Denial, Panic, Confusion, The Union, Grace, Mind, or Chaos be deprived of their right to vote just like citizens of the other states.

Answer 17

Did we add another state since the Oregon primary?

Answer 18

No.  This won't take the heat off Palin's scandals.
