Racist and Dumb

Obama on Friday at a campaign event in Beaverton, Ore., said, "Over the last fifteen months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states, I think — one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

Marc Ambinder, from theAtlantic.com, points out that, "if John McCain did this — if he mistakenly said he’d visited 57 states — the media would be all up in his grill, accusing him of a senior moment."

DRJ, from Patterico.com, does his own math:

""Obama has been to "57 states." He hasn’t been to Hawaii and Alaska — they aren’t big or important enough for any of the candidates to visit — so that’s 2 more states. And he has "one left to go" which makes 60. There you have it — 60 states — and that means Hillary is still in this race. The rest of us need to get busy updating our flags to add 10 more stars.""

      I can't believe this idiot is the democrats' front-runner. This loser is everything in one package: racist, mafia ties, drug junkie, dumb ...you name it. I hope Hillary drops out soon because this is going to be a piece of cake for the Republicans.

      Democrats are stupid. They threw out a winner (Hillary) to get an inexperienced cokehead muslim who can't win big states or states that Dems are competitive in.

      57 states? lol! it's really no surprise since he doesn't even put his hand on his heart during a flag ceremony...

      Obama breaks Medicare:

      Obama will most likely flipflop on this issue like he does so many things, (REV WRIGHT) but for now he plans to scale back medicare in order to pay for the 50 million people with no insurance. BE AWARE--10 million of those r illegal aliens.

      Screw the people who worked all thier lives and paid into the Soc Sec System. Come to america everyone and get ur med care at the expense of America's working people. Mark D.

      This is the effect of sniffing too much coke. DUMBAMA always "misspeaks": 1) the typical white people clinging to guns and religion because they don't understand the economy 2) after 23 years he finally understand that his pastor is a racist -- This was on Friday, wait until Monday for the DUMBAMA campaign to try to correct his "mistake" with something like: "he was very tired and misspoke" or "he was just joking" like when he gave the finger to Hillary a few weeks ago. DUMBAMA excuses are running out.
