Excuse my ignorance of America, but what are the 8 non-existing states? |
|
Obama has been to 57 U.S. states, and he only has 1 to go, but he has not been to Alaska or Hawaii. |

Unless the state he's going to is either Alaska or Hawaii. In which case there are only 9. |

Did he mean the regular states plus the Us territories?(Guam, DC, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands...) I don't know how many US territories there are. |

CNN reported this, and apparently Obama was showing signs of sleep deprivation when he made the mistake. |

Notice the laughter in the background when he says 57. How stupid is he? Like I said earlier we only have 54 states. |
|
That was a quick slip, like a Freudian slip. Obama thought for a moment and spoke slowly when he made his point. However, I have watched the video some more, and what seems to link everything together is that he was trying to say he has been to 47 states, has 1 mainland state to go, and has not been to the two non-mainland states. I tried to figure out how that blunder might have happened, and that is what I came up with. |

Makes sense to me. I simply posted the clip because I figured it would be unfair to take a cheapshot at Obama by showcasing such a blunder while failing to do so with McCain. Neither video (IMHO) is truly worthy of saying "OMFG Look! " I was just leveling the playing field. |

Are you that dense on purpose? |
|
It makes sense if he meant 47... |
|
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
Lol it appears to me Obama was joking... |
|
Naw, if he was joking he would have made it much more obvious. "It feels like I've been to 57 states." He didn't even smile. Regardless, the fact that this seems to be a big deal is a testament to Obama's eloquence. Not only does he never make silly gaffes like that (we should whip out the bosnia clip and any speech by Bush), but if you actually listen to his speeches you'll find he almost never stutters or even rephrases as he's talking. He is an amazing speaker. |
|
LOL no. First, he'd have to alter his tone MUCH more. And second, probably 1-2% of the population would actually get the joke, the rest would think he's dumb. |
