Obama must think they already are a state...he counts them among his 57 states.
I am still agog at how the media managed to gloss over that ****ed up pas (more serious than faux pas). Can you even begin to fanthom the outcry if Bush, Boehner, Bachmann or any conservative had made such an error? Why, one might almost suppose the committer of such a mistake was someone not well versed in American history, but rather one who revelled in the "sweet" sounds of the Muzzie call to prayer. Now, to whom could I POSSIBLY be referring?
Hint: He doesn't wear one of these anymore
