My bet would be he was talking about the number of contests ( primaries / caucuses ) the Democrats had held up to that point. More then just the 50 states held elections. Among the additional are Washington D.C, Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.

So knock him for misspeaking if you want, but I think it says more about the critic than Obama.

Have you not noticed that Obama can never look directly into the camera (the TV viewing audience)? He is either looking left, or right. never at us.

I find that a bit disturbing. People who lie will not look you in the eye (well, some will; Clinton did).

Obama is clearly lost without the teleprompter. He has even interrupted his speech a time or to to ask if they could "speed it up" or "slow it down". What an ass.
He did pretty good fielding questions at the Republican retreat without the help of a teleprompter.

So, good foreign relations to you is bowing to dictators?

Sorry. Condoleeza Rice was far superior to either Barrack Obama, or Hillary Clinton (who knows zero).

Obama is an ass. He has no clue on "foreign relations". He thinks if we ar nice to them, they will be nice to us. That is such a "kindergarten" type concept. He has no clue.

Perhaps he was a stooge for the real power behind the office.

Don't you get curious to the real reason why Americans are shedding blood and sacrificing wealth in undeclared wars in two Asian nations?

Why won't Congress declare war?

They haven't declared a war since the end of WW2, in 1945.

It's their constitutional power - why won't they exercise it?

I've asked, by polite letter, but they won't answer.

"Someone" wants the U.S.A. to collapse, so it can be rid of that pesky Constitution - and those limitations on power.

Nonsense.

I saw him singlehandedly own a roomful of hostile GOP politicians a week or so ago. All off the cuff.

So, prove it.

The teleprompter meme lives on.

That...."Someone"..... being the Progressive Elitists that have managed to spread their tentacles throughout every facet of society and has become a cancer. Gradual and methodical baby steps were needed over the last century......to erode our rights/liberties through various legislation and all too often.....oppressive/restrictive/numerous laws enacted, and an ever-growing govt. mushroomed. From their perception of what we should all consider as a real crisis or threat, we continually allowed our liberties to diminish, along with freewill.
They instill fear and make use of any good distraction. Come up with one, if they have to.
It's worked so well for the last century and "eventually".... may be knocking now? It's grim and here to reap what has been sown.
Enslaved, as a nation.
Statue....Lady Liberty might as well just pack up and go home....China? Dubai?

Wow, I hear the Canadian border is still open. You might want to consider running for the border.
