If ever there is known the slips of the tongue as being a subconscious slip, Obama's reference to having traveled through all of the States of this American Union ["...57 states, plus one more to go..."] as paraphrased, means that somewhere in Obama's subconscious, the number of 57 was outstanding based on his current thinking or recent studies or personal deep thoughts in which the "number 57" was pre-eminent in his thinking..

Slips of the tongue are pretty important....they give "clues" to what is part of one's present thinking, part of what is one's relevance to the present or some worry that one has that is to be thought through....

Some of these comments from the NoQuarter site [link above] will perhaps help out...

Unbelievable. Every time this empty suit makes a mistake, the press gives him a pass, or they prop him back up, or better yet, they don’t report it.

We know of all the stupid things he keeps doing, but it is not getting mentioned in MSM. We have got to find people, who will be willing to speak up–for the good of this country.

I can’t watch him or hear him anymore, without getting a horrible, visceral, gut wrenching visceral feeling. I don’t think I could take 4 years of this feeling. MSM has to start calling him out on this bullshit.

Ahh, his 57 state strategy. That must include Odinga’s Kenya, Iran, and Palestine. He also got that Hamas endorsement so he must be thinking they’re now a part of his voting constituency.

We know Hamas is donating to him. And we know Rezko used Auchi cash to help Obama purchase his Rezko mansion.

...that'll win it for McCain in November for SURE! Nothing like a slip of the tongue to reveal the Manchurian nature of the candidate...

(shaking head)

Loved the comments, too. Gotta like the Islamic and Hamas references, and especially the reference to him as "Odinga."

The Reactionary Right at its ugliest and most racist.

Why is it racist to point out the man's faults? Are we too believe that Obie has no faults because he is black. Being a fucking idiot is not indigenous to any particular race.

Obama is an empty suit. If he were white, he'd still be an empty suit.

...how calling the Senator from Illinois "Odinga" is an effective way of "pointing out his faults?"

Take the strawman and shove it, please.

Raila Odinga is the current Prime Minister of Kenya and a first cousin to BHO on his deceased father's side, who was at Kenyan citizen at the time of BHO's birth, and thus, obama is ALSO a Citizen of Kenya.

Raila Odinga belongs to the Luo tribe, to which BHObama also belongs to, based on African tribal cultural modes, and thus BHObama is ALSO a member of the Kenyan LUO tribe.

Raila Odinga and Barack Obama have had close conversations as early as in Jan or February during the New Hampshire primaries, when the opposition tribe's members were being killed. The winner of the campaign for the Presidency of Kenya belongs to another Kenyan tribe, and it has been determined that the 1,000 kenyans who were killed were killed by a militia of the Luo tribe.

All of this came about due to a riot in which Raila Odinga rejected the winner of the campaign, the opposition member who is now the President of Kenya.

Raila Odinga, it has been determined through some communications with various groups, has connections right into Al Qaeda itself.

Maybe Theresa Heinz Kerry has given him MORE $$, who knows? I have to agree w. one of the posters quoted in your post, though: I can't stand to watch him or listen to him, either. I'm so puzzled as to why so many of the younger voters find him attractive?? Otoh, they thought Eminem was worth worshipping, too, so hey ... it could make sense. :-)

I've never called him Odinga. I tend to use characterizations like muslim lawn jockey, or lying sack of shit or, even worse than those....Liberal. I call him a Liberal a lot. I know it's not very nice but I am very passionate about my dislike for muslim moles and Manchurian Candidates running for president of my country.

Jack

If so, I'd sure love to see that quoted/cited. If not, is it really accurate to call him a Kenyan citizen, smarmy? Thanks.

There are US citizens who have never voted and probably will never vote.

That does NOT deny the fact that they are US citizens.

The Kenyan Constitution of 1963 which creates the new Kenyan state, made Barack Obama by default, a Kenyan citizen since his father Barack Obama Sr was a citizen of Kenya at that time, as well as a member of the Luo tribe.

Brack Obama would have to have lived in Kenya to vote, or through abseentee ballot, but I don't know what Kenya has in terms of voting processes. and based on his biography it appears he mainly lived in Indonesia as a child and later in hawaii and then the mainland US.

I am sure you can check out google search to find out more.

I would think you would avoid "Manchurian Candidate" comparisons. It being about a brainwashed former POW who rises to political prominence, I mean. Given some of the oddities that have slipped past McCain's lips, I would say he's the one who gives more room to suspect that someone's been messing with his mental circuitry.

Don't think for a minute that I do not have suspicions about McCain. He does have some strange quirks.
