This is back when Mr Obama was travelling these 60 United states back in 2007. Really only 58 because they did not want him to travel to Alaska or Hawaii. I did not plan to vote FOR Romney, but do plan to vote AGAINST Mr. Obama.

Actually, atur, he said that he had been campaigning in 57 states; the exact number of muslim states/countries. That's what made it a poignant blunder.

Funny that he was in the 57 "moozlem" states but never stepped foot out of the US.

It would be more poignant if it was factually correct. Better yet, if it had any relevance with anything Obama actually said.

Poignant to you and those with a mindset similar to you.......the exact number of muslim state.countries thing never occurred to the rest of us.
But I do need to thank you for once again exhibiting just how far out there you birther types can go....it was a good laugh.Thanks

Oh, these are FUNNY!

The Seven Year Itch

"In France, for instance, I'm told that marriage is now frequently contracted in seven-year terms where either party may move on when their term is up. How shallow and how different from the Europe of the past."

(May 5, 2007)

In his most bizarre misstatement of the past three months — including the Battlefield Earth shout-out! — Romney used the occasion of a commencement address at Regents University to condemn a non-existent French marriage policy. The line was picked up, without comment, by the Washington Post; when reporters tried to suss out what the candidate could possibly be referring to, a spokesman referred them to France's civil union agreements...which have no set end date, either. One possible source for the impressively specific legalese ups the odd quotient even further: Seven-year marriage contracts are a plot point in the "Memories of Earth" science fiction series by Mormon author Orson Scott Card, itself a retelling of the Mormon theology in which the limited marriages stand in for the other non-traditional marriage practices of that faith. What's Romney really trying to say here? That the French are Mormons? That they're from outer space?

Science Friction

"The one by L. Ron Hubbard...I'm not in favor of his religion by any means, but he wrote a book called 'Battlefield Earth' that was a very fun science fiction book."

(May 1, 2007)

It's remarkable enough for a serious Presidential contender to name a book of genre fiction as his — or her — favorite novel. (The primary season reading list tends toward the classics and more serious contemporary literary fare.) But naming Hubbard's "Battlefield Earth" on Fox News raised a host of questions Romney could have avoided if he'd named something by Ray Bradbury. First of all, many Americans already view Romney's own faith as suspiciously cultlike in some respects — so why draw personal attention to Hubbard's religion, Scientology, which has a more sinister reputation? Putting religion aside, "Battlefield Earth" is almost universally regarded as a terrible book, even by the standards of science fiction junkies. Turgid, repetitive and at times nonsensical, it became a bestseller largely through the efforts of Scientologists who bought bulk shipments. Romney managed to compound the error by later saying that the book wasn't even really his favorite, rather, that it was "one of" them and that he also enjoyed "Huck Finn." Yeah, I get those two confused all the time.

FR

I can be as partisan as they come, but part of me wishes we could have a bipartisan statute of limitations on gaffes. Let's say we all chuckle or groan (depending on who says what) for 24 hours, then we get back to shit that actually matters.

I've yet to hear of a human brain that didn't misfire occasionally. I'm just glad I get to make my mistakes in private.
