Obama's Revelation: 57 States or OIC??

Today is September 3, 2008. That's important when you realize that it has now been FOUR MONTHS since Barack Hussein announced that there are 57 US states. And the major media outlets still haven't acknowledged his mistake. The few references to it have been on media blogs where the miscount has been sternly defended as a minor mistake based on his confusion.

Isn't it fun to watch the liberal media ... oh alright, all the liberals ... spin back and forth! A few years ago, when Dan Quayle misspelled a vegetable "potatoe" instead of "potato"), they went nuts over it for weeks, deeming it as proof positive that Quayle was unfit for office. But now, when their pet candidate screws up again and again (and again!), they can't seem to see anything wrong with it.

What's a little confusion or bumbling amount to?
DATELINE IRAN
MARCH 14, 2009
EXCERPT FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA'S MEETING WITH IRAN PRESIDENT: "Mr. Ahmadinejad, we WILL hand over control to you!" "Wait, no, er, I meant we will NOT. ... I think , er, uh, 8, no, 23, no, 57, uh, what was the question, ol' buddy?"

But what was behind BO's numerical gaff? Snopes.com excuses the mistake (of course!) by quoting his explanation that his "numeracy is poor." Oh, his numeracy skills are poor, is that all? The dictionary defines numeracy as "the ability to understand and work with numbers." Wait. Isn't counting, and calculating, and understanding numbers an important skill for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!?? The guy supposedly graduated from Harvard, for cryin' out loud. Ever see the TV show, Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? BO had better keep far away from that program!

But there's a second possibility. Other than base ignorance, I mean. A quick check of the Internet reveals that the Organization of Islamic Countries is made up of ... wait for it ... fifty-seven member countries (or states, as they call them). Wow. What an interesting coincidence!

Could it be that Barack Hussein Obama had another group of states in mind when he quoted the number? Could it be that he is focusing on a coalition of countries that are, let's say unfriendly to the US's interests?

Could it be this is one more example of why this guy would be a HORRIBLE choice for Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces?
Yes!
