With all due respect to the military alive or dead, that's actually one of Obama's less mind-numbing gaffes. Eesh, what kind of moron doesn't know how many states there are in this country? For God's sake, he was born in the 50th and last state to be admitted!

Doesn't matter, Bob. She could state 2+2=4, and the media will criticise it somehow.
Everyone's human, everyone makes mistakes. It's when the mistakes become an obvious pattern that there's a problem.
Just pay attention to where the media finds mistakes, and obsesses about them. If Obama had made the same mistake, it wouldn't even have been noticed.

Conservatives - Liars? No! Say it isn't so...
Do all conservatives lie through their teeth?
At least Palin has the excuse that she's stupid. Bachmann is just plain untruthful -- intentionally and without hesitation.
Here's what conservative blogs aren't telling you about this exchange.
Bachmann plays off the hate for Obama and boldly lies on national television. When her history of lies is brought up Michelle Bachmann doubles down and lies again... knowing that her faithful legion of liars and sycophants will come to her aid.

Art W said on this blog four weeks ago that Palin's emails would bring her down and totally disappoint us right wingers. I have since requested of Art W numberous times to provide what was found that was devastating. He has ignored the questions. Since he used this site to make that statement many times, I think it only fair to ignore the ass Art W until he provides the "devastating" information that his people were going to find on Palin. Art W needs to walk what he talks since he requires that of republicans.

It's teh easy to get a jury duty deferral. It takes a 5 minute phone call in my state.
But Sarah Palin the Quitter now had an excuse to quit her bus tour, reeling in embarrassment over her Paul Revere gaffe.
And of course, she quit.
It wasn't a question of "if" Palin would quit, only a question of when.

Jury service may be deferred under this section only if the person seeking the deferment agrees to a deferred date.

Doubtless , there's more to come.
Called Europe a country
Thinks there is an Austrian language (“I don’t speak Austrian”)
The day before Cinco de Mayo is apparently "Cinco de Cuatro"
Filling out NCAA basketball bracket, he spells Syracuse "Sycacuse"
"I've been in 57 states...I think one left to go."
Mispronouncing the word "corpsman" as "corpse-man", twice in the same speech
Gives a gift of incorrectly formatted DVD's to Gordon Brown
Names a tax cheat as Treasury Secretary
In introductions, forgets the name of his own Secretary of Defense
Tries to open a White House window thinking it's a door
Brain-freeze trying to figure out how to maneuver an umbrella through a gate
Thanks himself while reading the wrong line on the teleprompter
Fumbles through a teleprompter miscue at the National Academy of Sciences
Equates his terrible bowling to Special Olympics kids on Leno
Pronounced 10,000 dead from a Kansas storm when there were actually 12 deaths
Called Sunrise, FL "Sunshine"
"The time has changed for come!"
"I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis." - Obama, speaking from Kansas City
Confuses the Constitution for the DOI in his own SOTU speech (the supposed Constitutional scholar)
Cites the Constitution as having been written "twenty centuries" ago
In his own words, he's apparently able to see dead people in the audience (sounds like Dem vote counting)
Claimed his parents met because of the 1965 Selma march when they actually married in 1961
Thought Japanese Emperor Hirohito was on the battleship Missouri (He also said it was an aircraft carrier) signing Japanese terms of surrender.
"Let me be absolutely clear...Israel is a strong friend of Israel's"
"Not having been there and not seeing all the facts...the Cambridge police acted stupidly."
"I wanna be very clear...that we are resolved to halt the rise of privacy." (pirates are okay though I guess)
"The reforms we seek would bring greater inefficiencies to our healthcare system." (a Freudian slip of truth for once)
Analogizes that the USPS is "always having problems", undercutting his own argument for government run healthcare.
States that inflating your tires and getting tuneups equates to the domestic oil that drilling would produce.
Restaurant that Obama brags was saved by the stimulus closes the following week after 70 years of business
Confused the Presidential Medal of Freedom with the Congressional Medal of Honor(the guy's the CIC)
Sunday: "Iran does not pose a serious threat to us." - Monday: "The threat from Iran is grave."
In May of 2011, signs the Westminster Abbey guestbook and dates it May 2008
Makes a fool of himself in an awkward attempt to toast the Queen at Buckingham Palace
Makes a speech proclaiming a “Teutonic shift” of Middle East politics (the teleprompter- addicted moron meant “tectonic”)
At state dinner for German Chancellor Merkel he botches another toast because he forgot it altogether...
