When I was watching the news today, I did not hear Obama say Hawai'i is in Asia.

I did hear hear him say it was part of "The Pacific Region."

Which is true.

I was laughing at Obamas comments. I never said it was ever in Asia.

Now that it has been proven he did state this what are the Obama robots going to do?

Also the other issue of is comments about congress.

He exposed his own internal plan. Did anyone catch this?

Lets blame congress for everything so I can get elected and hope we get back to house.
Or the comment, Americans are "lazy". Nothing like a Commander in Chief, who thinks the people who voted for him are nothing but "LAZY"!!

That's why we have no jobs, it's congress and Americans bringing it all down!!

So what is worse, believing that it is in Asia or that it was in Asia.

Not only did he tell his real plan today that congress is at fault for all his failures but he truly believes the dems will take back the house. His true plan is to blame congress and hope to get the dems back in total control. He exposed his plan in this speech.

Then the real blunder ----

"Here is Asia" is something he said that I could not believe.

Would someone please tell this fool Hawaii is not in Asia?

Being raised in Hawaii you would think he would know this.

His lack of anything America is amazing.

When I get more time I will see if I can link the video of this fool saying this during his question and answer session. If you want to see it just look for the video of this speech.

Someone please tell him Hawaii is not in Asia anymore!!!!

We moved it with the money from his jobs bill.

He probably just plans to sell it to the Asians, so he is being premature. They will simply redraw the maps then.

Where was Obama when he said, 'here in Asia'? Was he not standing in Hawaii? I take it that he had a momentary lapse of memory on where he was when he was giving his speech.

Also, there are 50 states in the United States. Not 47, not 57...50.

"The United States is the world's third largest country in population and in area. It consists of 50 states and a federal district."

The president isn't the only one making this blunder. I'm just not sure if people are trying to be cute or not....

Barack Hussein Obama II is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American

to hold the office. Obama previously served as a United States Senator from Illinois,

from January 2005 until he resigned following his victory in the 2008 presidential election.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.
When did Obama release his transcripts? I will say this, I do believe Obama is smart, just not in the way we would like him to be.

Also I am of the opinion that the weight of holding the office of presidency is weighing heavily on him and the American people are...stressing him out and it is showing in his speeches. We should count ourselves lucky that there are people who are still willing to be POTUS.

Sunny every one makes a mistake once in a while. i'll guarantee that if you were standing face to face with the President and asked him how many states there are he'd not say 57,he'd give you the correct answer.
