“Obama was talking about 57 legislatures because we still have non-states as part of the USA. Look it up and stop pushing that misfactoid.”.I did and this is what Snopes came up:“TRUE: Barack Obama said he had visited 57 states. FALSE: Barack Obama’s statement was a reference to 57 Islamic states.”.Now if you look at the complete remark at Snopes it gets weirder:“I’ve now been in fifty …. seven states? I think one left to go. One left to go. Alaska and Hawaii,”.So it’s not entirely clear whether he thinks there are 57, 58 or 59 states, or perhaps he think Alaska and Hawaii are one state….Do you think he visited 57 legislatures? Do you get paid to be an Obama apologist? That was some pretty darn fancy smoke and mirrors….
Yeah, 57 states was a foolish comment. I’m sure that Obama meant to say something else, but then so do the politicians whose misstatements the media chooses to treat as a big deal.
Mourdock’s “perfectly innocent” remark was that babies conceived from rapes were a gift from god. Not innocent. A woman who’s raped shouldn’t be forced to have the rapist’s baby.
