When Obama said there are fifty seven states, I believe he was thinking about

Teresa Heinz whose family is famously tied to the number 57. It's on every Ketchup Bottle, after all.

Anyway, Teresa Heinz released her tax return, albeit abbreviated, and Cindy McCain refuses to release any financial records of any sort. I guess she doesn't want her Husband, who once called her a expletive that rhymes with punt, to know exactly how much money she really has. She has to withhold something, after all. That has to be the reason she is holding her information close to her vest. I mean she can't have anything to hide now can she? Inquiring minds want to know.

That must have been why the number 57 was on Senator Obama's mind. Teresa Heinz and her tax returns.

That's the ticket.

that's it.

We could say he was thinking about the territories, protectorates, etc plus the District of Columbia, but the fact is he had a slip up that will give the right something to chuckle about and make Obama sound like an idiot.

Oh, well. At least he knows the difference between Shiite and Sunni.

The Shi'ite will really hit the fan.

:rofl:

You're actually pretty good at this. Do you have a political satire website or something?

Sounds good to me. At least he knows a "dumb war" when he sees one.

hey the guy was hungry OK? Give him a friggin break-he was thinking about a steak dinner and that he was hoping they had Heinz 57 Sauce (which I used on MY BBQed rib steak today as a matter of fact)

thinking about Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, ..oh, Guam I need 4 more:P

so were up to 56 states. Getting close.

there was more:D

Also add in Virgin Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico.

makes 57 primary fights. We have completed 89.4% of the primaries right now.

Maybe he is adding the new one of IRAQ in the list accidentally

Now you are only down 3 :)

Iraq may as well count too.

Puerto Rico
India
China
Mexico
Brazil
Myanmar
Canada

But there are about 55-57 primary contests, depending on how you count them.

57 Freakin' Primaries and he's still winning.

Last vaca was on St Thomas, Virgin Islands right around Easter.

So you have to subtract those two.

But desperation makes people do strange things.

There was no agreement to not count the votes. Obama broke the agreement not to campaign when he ran radio commercials in Florida. That aside all votes should be counted.

The committee threw out Michigan's delegates as fair and deserved punishment and the candidates agreed to abide by that decision. Period.

57 ways to leave your lover?

50 states plus:
American Samoa
Democrats Abroad
Virgin Islands
Washington D.C.
Texas caucus (in addition to the primary)
Guam
Puerto Rico

Are you really trying to excuse it with that? Talk about desperate and pathetic! LOL

Texas caucus? Are you for real? :rofl:

Oh my god your post just made me laugh. Is that really in your mind what the gaffe was about? Fuckin hilarious!!!

I mean, you really feel the need to defend him with such idiotic explanations? Comedy gold! :rofl:

K&R

:rofl:

Must have wandered too far away from the teleprompter again.

Listen up kids. Too much coke and smoke will wipe that expensive Harvard education right out of your head.

If you are going to crucify him for every one of them, take it somewhere else.

Lighten up a little bit.

It will make the days go better for you.

Satire in the morning isn't my forte. ;-)

There are the 50 states plus American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, plus several states that have a 2 or 3 step voting process. Like the Texas primary and caucus, which are separate, Nevada and Iowa (I think that was the other state). It actually shakes out to 57 votes.

That explanation is just dumb.

He had a little slip that he's laughing at now, and it was nothing more and nothing less. He likely meant to say 47 and it came out as 57. Big deal. He's laughing, we're laughing, and it's quite meaningless. But the way some here are trying to make up excuses for him is friggin hilarious, as if he wants or needs the excusing. This is a meaningless event and he even referenced it afterwards. It was just silly. Who cares. But this whole "let's make up excuses as to why he slipped like that. He needs defending!!!!!" is just so damn laughable LOL.

meanwhile, Clinton is pushing for Mexico statehood and saying this primary is not over until all potential states have voted!

State of Confusion and State of Denial.
