Did you defend Obama when he said there were 57 states? Do you think that was a gaffe or do you think Obama thinks there are 57 states
It's true that during a May 9, 2008 campaign stop in Oregon, Barack Obama said he had visited 57 states. The exact quote, as transcribed in the LA Times "Top of the Ticket" blog (and viewable on YouTube), went as follows:
"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 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."
and can you argue Mexico is part of America, or do you think America is just USA, have you heard of America as even in South America and Central America or latin America? In the 4th grade we studied our state (whatever one we lived in) in the 5th grade we studied America, which included Canada, Mexico, Central and South America. In the 6th grade we studied the World. Maybe where you went to elementary school they didn't study georgraphy as much as we did.

After an aide pointed out that Juarez was part of Mexico, not the U.S.A. scary Perry corrected himself. So all your rhetoric about South, Central and North America is meaningless since his correction clearly points out he was not talking about the continents but rather the U.S.A.

did it occur to you he was then, just clarifying his statement by saying, Yes Juarez is in Mexico. Do you really, now be honest, think he thought Juarez wa in the USA? You can dislike him, your choice, you can think he is lacking in intelligence, your choice, you can think what you want, but he was born and raised in Texas. Beleive me, everyone in Texas knows where Juarez in located.

Unlike leftards, who can't even explain where those additional seven states are located.
And yet, he's still wrong, since El Paso is not the most dangerous city in the United States, regardless of its proximity and spillover from Juarez.
And sorry little DrummerBoy, but no right wing fundamentalist theocrat is going to win the Presidency. You may want a theocracy ruled by the American Taliban, but most Americans don't. You're a minority.
The funny thing is I don't think it was a goof at all.
See my first post.
We will add it to the number of states obama thinks the U.S. has and Bush's problem with Texas, Tennessee, and quotes,
Quote:
Bush - "There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably Tennessee, that says 'Fool me once [pause], shame on…shame on you. [Long pause] Fool me. [Pause] You can't get fooled again.' ".
But focussing on a misspeak can keep the focus off Obama's failed border policies and the fact that US citizens are dodging Mexican gunfire in El Paso.
This liberal lives 45 miles from El Paso. Yes, there have been isolated incidents, but, people are not routinely "dodging Mexican gunfire in El Paso." I feel safer spending a day in El Paso than I would spending a day in Newark, NJ.
Conservatives can try to paint a picture of El Paso as being gripped by uncontrolled violence, however, despite what is going on across the border, El Paso remains one of the safest cities in the U.S. Any idea how many murders have taken place in El Paso so far this year? Fourteen. That's right. Fourteen. Yes, sadly, that is an increase from last year's total of five (5), but still amazing for a city this size.
"El Paso is among the safest big cities in America. For the better part of the last decade, only Honolulu has had a lower violent crime rate (El Paso slipped to third last year, behind New York). Men's Health magazine recently ranked El Paso the second "happiest" city in America, right after Laredo, Texas—another border town, where the Hispanic population is approaching 95 percent."
As for the OP, well, I think I'm more surprised that he even knows that El Paso is in Texas. I mean, it's not like he actually pays attention to what goes on there, or anywhere else on the border for that matter:
"In recent remarks about border security , Perry suggested that the U.S. should use the same predator drones for border patrol that we use in combat abroad. The governor somehow missed that this has already been happening — in his own state, no less — for two years."
My favorite part:
"And it’s been over six months since DHS Secretary Napolitano gave a major speech announcing that Customs and Border Protection had Predators covering the entire southwest border, from the El Centro sector of California all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. She even gave the speech in El Paso! "
