Here is the video of Obama saying that he has been to 57 states. My just-turned sixteen-year-old stepson said, "I like that guy." Then I asked all the children, how many states are there?" They all knew that there are fifty states. However, sixteen-year-old said, "Well, there are some other places that should be states, but aren't yet, and that is probably what he was thinking about." Obama has a complete and total pass with the young voters.
It kind of reminds me of an experience I had when I was a freshman at Hardin-Simmons University in Texas. My roommate, who was a popular guy on campus, introduced me to three different people as we walked across the campus one day. He told the first guy I was from Iowa (which I was). He told the second guy I was from Ohio. He told the third guy I was from Idaho. To my roommate, all three of those states were the same; all were filled with yankees!

I don't mind the slip of the tongue, I do it all the time; but I laugh at myself. We'll find out if Obama is capable of laughing at himself. That's an important character trait. But you're right; Obama supporters ignore anything that doesn't keep with the image he has created.
