They jumped all over an already elected Vice President for spelling the word "Potato" wrong.
This guy wants to be president of a country and he doesn't know how many states there are?
I know you obama loving morons are gonna say he was joking around. I doubt it...
Just like Dan was joking around about spelling potato wrong?

(Yawn) Should we just post all the stupid things Bush has said? I bet we'd have more posts than what's in the Hot Girls thread. I take it you've never had a slip up with anything you've ever said.
You guys are REALLY digging deep.

Pff' We haven't dug at all... This was right on the surface! Just what good do you see in Barrack? Name one thing that he has done that was beneficial to anyone other than himself.

Damn thing is I could find anything that was only beneficial to him. Hmmmm....
Obama took an active role in the Senate's drive for improved border security and immigration reform. In 2005, he cosponsored the "Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act" introduced by Republican John McCain of Arizona. He later added three amendments to the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act", which passed the Senate in May 2006, but failed to gain majority support in the House of Representatives. In September 2006, Obama supported a related bill, the Secure Fence Act, authorizing construction of fencing and other security improvements along the United States–Mexico border. President Bush signed the Secure Fence Act into law in October 2006, calling it "an important step toward immigration reform."
Partnering with Republican Senators Richard Lugar of Indiana and then Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Obama successfully introduced two initiatives bearing his name. "Lugar-Obama" expanded the Nunn-Lugar cooperative threat reduction concept to conventional weapons, including shoulder-fired missiles and anti-personnel mines. The "Coburn-Obama Transparency Act" authorized the establishment of USAspending.gov, a web search engine launched in December 2007 and run by the Office of Management and Budget. After Illinois residents complained of waste water contamination by a neighboring nuclear plant, Obama sponsored legislation requiring plant owners to notify state and local authorities of radioactive leaks. A compromise version of the bill was subsequently blocked by partisan disputes and later reintroduced. In December 2006, President Bush signed into law the "Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act," marking the first federal legislation to be enacted with Obama as its primary sponsor.
In January 2007, Obama worked with Democrat Russ Feingold of Wisconsin to eliminate gifts of travel on corporate jets by lobbyists to members of Congress and require disclosure of bundled campaign contributions under the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act," which was signed into law in September 2007. He introduced S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections, including fraudulent flyers and automated phone calls, as witnessed in the 2006 midterm elections. Obama's energy initiatives scored pluses and minuses with environmentalists, who welcomed his sponsorship with McCain of a climate change bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds by 2050, but were skeptical of his support for a bill promoting liquefied coal production. Obama also introduced the "Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007," a bill to cap troop levels in Iraq, begin phased redeployment, and remove all combat brigades from Iraq before April 2008.
Later in 2007, Obama sponsored an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges, and calling for an official review following reports that the procedure had been used inappropriately to reduce government costs. He sponsored the "Iran Sanctions Enabling Act" supporting divestment of state pension funds from Iran's oil and gas industry, and joined Republican Chuck Hagel of Nebraska in introducing legislation to reduce risks of nuclear terrorism. A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was passed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill. Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program providing one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries. The legislation passed both houses of Congress with bipartisan majorities, but was blocked from becoming law by President Bush in October 2007.
And if we're going to use the "lets find anything trivial about Obama and post it" mentality then here's one about McCain.
Elect McCain and you'll have another puppet in the White House.

You did when he did them. And BTW, Bush is not running this time. I find it amazing you will belittle something so easily when it suits you, yet crucify someone else for the same type of thing when it suits you.
How about instead of using the "He did it too" defense you actually stick with the *current* topic?

And how did that help anyone other than the Congo government officials? Sending some text books and teachers would have done a hell of a lot more good!

Yet, they are all still jet setting around in private jets. Hmmmmm....

Great... Force employers to replace the employee, train a new employee and then fire that employee so the old one can come back. And you wonder why their is so little employer loyalty left.
The only similar circumstance that I find acceptable, is national guard troops. I will gladly hold their jobs for them.

Obama got it right......the Organization of the Islamic Conference is made up of 57 states.
Quote
The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is the second largest inter-governmental organization after the United Nations which has membership of 57 states spread over four continents. The Organization is the collective voice of the Muslim world and ensuring to safeguard and project the interests of the Muslim world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony among various people of the world. The Organization was established upon a decision of the historical summit which took place in Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco on 12th Rajab 1398 Hijra (25 September 1969) as a result of criminal arson of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem.
He does have some damn funny ones though!
