John I think the point is that of course, everyone knows Obama knows there are 50 states and not 60. Certainly he made a tired slip of the tongue.
Follow anyone with a Camera for 2 years and you'll catch them in a slip of the tongue. The problem is sometimes the media targets someone as stupid, and will take any slip of the tongue as proof of stupidity. For some reason, they were looking for any slip by Palin as proof of stupidity. They did the same to Dan Quale. There are a great deal of stupid quotes on the net attributed to him he never said. Go check out the video of the Potato incident. The teacher handed Quayle the spelling words on index cards. You see them right in his hands. On the index card, potato was spelled with an e. Honestly, if I'm sitting there with a misspelled index card handed to me by the teacher, I'm going to go by what was on the card. I think almost anyone would. The media can ruin anyone once they decide to tell a story and stay with it. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jersey Shore John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > "The actual intent behind Senator Obama's misstatement is easy to > discern without the need to invoke an obscure international > organization.
