Obama Campaign Introduces Customized Lapel Pins
Update: Due to overwhelming demand, we have taken the Obama lapel pins from concept phase to the real-world, buyable phase. Get yours for only $2.49 (cheap!).
It's the perfect accessory for the ironic Obama supporter, and a wonderful "substitute for true patriotism"!
In celebration of his having traveled to an impressive 57 states in his bid for the Presidency (and to finally put to rest the notion that he abhors patriotic accessories), Barack Obama's campaign has introduced a custom line of American flag lapel pins.
Get yours today and show your support for the least senile candidate in the race!
Let's all give a warm, manifestly destined welcome to what I assume are our 7 newest states:
51. Puerto Rico
52. Guam
53. Northern Mariana
54. American Samoa
55. St. Croix
56. St. Thomas
57. St. John
I guess we should've seen this coming when Obama was reported to be meeting unofficially with the Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands when he took his family on "vacation" to St. Thomas.
(HT: Hot Air)
Update: It's just been announced that two superdelegates from the Virgin Islands have pledged support for Obama, giving him his first-ever superdelegate lead over Clinton. Interesting timing, no?
You scratch my back, I grant you statehood.

Funny blooper. What's even funnier though are the Hillary supporters who think this is some serious "gaffe." HAHA! Yeah, I swear some of these people are so insane they really think that Barack Obama (magna cum laude at Harvard Law School) doesn't know how many states there are.Posted by: Funny Music | May 10, 2008 3:22:16 AM
His remarks imply 60 (sixty) states. 57 (incl) Oregon which he has visited one (1) which is left to visit plus Alaska and Hawaii (2) which his staff won't let him visit = 60. His gaffe is not miscounting so much as misspeaking, 'fifty' for 'forty' and is obviously a result of exhaustion. Still no more cracks about McCain's "bearings" anytime soon.

He doesn't know anything that isn't written down for him...of course he can give a great speech,it's written down and he can fake the emotions but when he has to tell the truth and be on his own, he can't do it....Posted by: Don | May 10, 2008 10:42:17 AM
it's funny obama should over-count when his campaign actually wants to disavow the existence of florida and michigan! seriously: the number of states in the USA is something we all learn as kids - that is IF we are raised in the USA! i betchya the book obama was taught with in indonesia was printed prior to the admission of hawaii and alaska! and that these early lessons are deeply embedded in his memory. It's all too weird for me: Obama: half African; raised in Indonesia as a Muslim; fraternizes with Palestinian Arabs who support Hamas and Fatah, and with terrorists, and with corrupt pol's; has no legislative or executive record to speak of, belongs to a RACIST church; AND STILL WON THE NOMINATION!!?!?! jeez.Posted by: reliapundit | May 10, 2008 11:01:16 AM
Yeah it's Obama's fault the DNC fined Michigan & Florida. Spin it 1,000,000 ways HILLARY will not becone the Democratic Nominee..End of story..Posted by: Majestic | May 10, 2008 11:12:15 AM

If gas is $4.00 a gallon, If the Iraq war is still going bad, if we are in a recession, If President Bush's approval rating is at 30%, Who really cares if McCain is too old, lost his bearings,whether he voted for Bush or not, whether he can't tell sunni from Shia, Whether or not Reverend Wright or Ayers will hurt Obama, or that Hamas wants Obama to win, or if Obama wears a lapel pin (Neither Clinton nor McCain wear one) or whether he misspoke of 57 states,whether we care if Clinton came under fire in Bosnia. People are worried about the real issues: Gas Prices, The War, The economy. The people will want CHANGE!!!!Posted by: Don Hannaford | May 10, 2008 1:26:26 PM
That all sounds great, Don. But Obama's ideas don't constitute change, they constitute Jimmy Carter's second term.Posted by: Flip | May 10, 2008 1:38:29 PM
You got it right, we DO need CHANGE and that is why HILLARY is going to win the nomination. She gets stronger every day as Barack wilts. If it isn't written down and handed to him, he falls apart. That is why he wimped out of the debate and why he thinks we have 60 states. What a BONEHEAD. We already have an arrogant, immature, ex druggie in the White House who is a LIAR, the last thing we need is this boneheaded clown with all his creepy criminal, radical, terrorist associates who can't stack up the needed Electoral votes to TAKE IT IN NOVEMBER. HILLARY is beating McCain in the key states and Barack is LOSING. He is another Carter, if he gets the nomination, say hello to President McSame. Wake up Obamabots!Posted by: Kathryn | May 10, 2008 2:08:43 PM
Poor Barry Hussein, mixing up the states again. Those 57 states don't include FL and MI still and it looks like WV is not part of the U.S either since he hasn't step foot in it yet and unlikely to do so in this primary season. Someone please hand this poor guy an atlas.Posted by: NoBama Never | May 10, 2008 2:32:38 PM
Nice list, but you're wrong. Mr. Cloudo President of Heaven will bring the following new states into the union: - Harvardstan - South Chicagoberg (aka Ayrestopia) - Further-North North Carolina and, of course (drum roll) the four new states of East, West, North and South IowaPosted by: Jones | May 10, 2008 2:51:18 PM

I think the pin needs one more star. He said he went to 57 states but couldn't go to another one. So that's 58 states...right?Posted by: Quilly Mammoth | May 10, 2008 3:38:50 PM
Quilly: That's true. And based on Obama's comments, he wasn't including Hawaii or Alaska either, so he presumably believes there to be an even 60 states in the union. But to get past 57, we'd need to start incorporating some of our uninhabited atolls or annexing Canadian provinces. I'm not sure Obama's imperialism runs that deep.Posted by: Flip | May 10, 2008 3:44:13 PM
Places volunteering to become additional states: 51. South (Iraqi) Kurdistan 52. Kosovo 53. Free Cuba 54. Free Venezuela 55. Taiwan (give California a run for the High Tech capital) 56. North Korea 57. Eritrea Regrettably, Obama seems committed to talking to the oppressors in these disputed areas, instead of destroying them.Posted by: Patrick S Lasswell | May 10, 2008 3:50:41 PM
Maybe he's being given too much credit for thinking of the island protectorates. There are ten provinces in Canada. I'm sure he admires their health care system. That's an even 60.Posted by: Quilly Mammoth | May 10, 2008 6:14:23 PM
Obama's reala name is Barry Soetoro. It was on his passport when he went to indonesia with his real father. His real name is also listed in the Indonesian Public School records as "Barry Hussein Soetoro!" The reason his passport records were being looked at by HIS BIGGEST CAMPAIGN DONOR, was TO make sure those records had been scrubbed or hidden! He is a make believe candidate. Nothing, absolutely nothing about this man is real. The reason he can't tell you the exact number of states is that he DOESN'T KNOW! He only knows what is fed into his earpiece or is written on a teleprompter! My question is, WHO is backing him? WHO has the power to take an unknown muslim from Indonesia, twist his entire academic record, get him accepted into the BEST schools in America, get him a JOB at the BEST law firm in America, and magically place him in TWO ILLINOIS ELECTIONS WITHOUT OPPONENTS, and now ENGINEER his election as PRESIDENT! WHO HAS THAT KIND OF POWER?Posted by: HELEN BOWDINE | May 10, 2008 6:35:31 PM
"You got it right, we DO need CHANGE and that is why HILLARY is going to win the nomination. She gets stronger every day as Barack wilts."

Obama's new campaign song: This land is my land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for M'chelle and me...Posted by: MarkJ | May 10, 2008 10:06:02 PM
You guys are trying really hard to cover up "100 years in Iraq, I don't know anythng about the economy, and Roe Vs. Wade should be overturned"; not to mention McCain's courting of hate spewing preachers. Really, although he has visited almost all states, plus other US possessions, Obama probably doesn't know how many states there are. How stupidly absurd, but this technique worked for the Third Reich...for awhile.Posted by: Weldon Tallant | May 11, 2008 1:16:33 AM
From someone outside the US, just another example of how stupid the leaders of the United States actually are, and how those who vite for them are even stupider. Really, how the hell does someone like George W (retarded) Bush get to become the leader of the worlds only super power... only in America!Posted by: Paul | May 11, 2008 2:31:24 AM
Assuming Obama wants to allow Michigan and Florida to continue to be states after the convention, even after refusing to visit them or count their votes, I guess it's really the 62 United States of America. Better add 5 stars to that pin.Posted by: RW-(the original) | May 11, 2008 8:10:51 AM
It's not that he doesn't know. It's that the response should have been automatic.Posted by: myke best | May 11, 2008 12:08:19 PM
