A few days ago we reported that Barack Obama was ever so proud to have visited all "57 states" on his campaign swing. But, we noticed that he still avoids wearing that U.S. flag lapel pin, just the same. Well, we have finally found out why Barack Obama won't wear that darned ol' U.S. flag pin. Until now he couldn't find one with all "57 States" on it. Well, the folks over at Suitably Flip blog have solved the problem for the junior Senator from Illinois.
Just in for the 2008 campaign season is the new 57 state U.S. flag pin for all the infromationally challenged Senators on your shopping list. Barack can proudly wear his 57 state flag pin at all the great celebrations to come. Like the birthday for the state of Guam, or the celebration for the state of Harlem... you know, all those great parties he'll get invited to as the nominee for one of the two or three democratic Parties out there.
Now I only have one question for the Senator. Is this the flag of the "Damn United States" or the regular one that the rest of us live in?
For those of you who have not seen the video, here it is:
Now, the Suitably Flip bloggers gave us a list of the other 7 states, but I think they missed the boat with their choices. After all, they missed one state that the Obama's definitely visit quite often. The state of DENIAL!
And now for a hat tip you won't believe. This funny bit came to my attention through Andrew Malcolm's entry at the Los Angeles Times' Top of the Ticket blog. Yeah, I find it hard to believe they had enough of a sense of humor to throw a dig at their messiah, too.

May 11, 2008 - 11:31 ET by ThisnThatSuperman said it on the other thread, but it's worth repeating here -- if McCain had said this, he would be toast by now. The MSM would be repeating this for 6 straight months, and link it to age, and start to draw parallels to Commander-in-Chief activities, how his finger is on the red button, and no way can we rely upon someone who makes these types of mistakes to run the country.
With Obama -- it never happened. And even though it did, it will be suppressed. And even if it isn't suppressed, you will be raked over the coals for bringing it up -- because you would be racist or "extreme" if you did.

A pin Obummer would be proud to wear
May 11, 2008 - 15:00 ET by terrigThis clown would probably be all over this pin. I was thinking, what about all those new flags that have to be made? Just think of all the jobs.
USA4Freedom, to think Jim Webb is sitting in the Senate and will soon be the senior senator from VA because of macaca is sickening.

May 11, 2008 - 15:29 ET by bigtimerterrig...
I could not agree more...in my opinion Allen should never have buckled with the pressure that was put on him behind the scenes from the big-wigs in the GOP...in fact I still think to this day he should of contested the votes and had a recount, even if it had come up in his loss, he still should have run as a candidate now...look what has happened since then, macaca is nothing in comparison.
As an aside they did the same thing with my Senator Burns here in Mt. not to ask for a recount too. I am still angry with the GOP for not backing and standing by these guys.
I was for George Allen before I even became a NBs member over on Free Republic....so I was very disappointed he let this get the best of him too...over nada...an intentional plant to-boot that had been following him around.
Hey one thing about it...with time, what goes around comes around and pay backs are hell.

He should run again and call it the Macaca Express, and get the last laugh.

ROFLMAO... Andrew Malcolm
May 11, 2008 - 15:21 ET by bigtimerROFLMAO...
Andrew Malcolm was hilarious...dead on with his humor and summation...I too am surprised the LA Times had this in their paper.
I loved how he asked has he lost his bearings?
All of it was hilarious...what is sad though is that the lemmings in this country will ignore all of this...heck, most that vote for him could care less or they themselves think there are 57 states now...
As much as I do not like McCain we all know what would of happened to him had he said anything close to this.

Shouldn't it be....
May 11, 2008 - 18:14 ET by ToddonCapeCodShouldn't it be a 59 state pin, since Barack Hussein said he has two more to visit
Or 60...
May 11, 2008 - 21:11 ET by DEVILDOCMOMwasn't it something to the effect, I have been to 50 of the 57 states, except AK and HI, oh and there is one more...I was laughing so hard I can't remember.
Todd
May 11, 2008 - 21:30 ET by DelsaI think it should be a 60 State pin
Because he said he had been to 57 with 1 more to go and then there were the 2, Hawaii and Alaska, his staff would not let him visit.
Wouldn't that 60 States?
just sayin
Questionable BHO
May 11, 2008 - 20:11 ET by LionKingIs this guy qualified to be POTUS? Is he even smarter than a 5th grader?
What states did he visit? Actually, he said he visited 57 states, but was not allowed to visit Alaska and Hawaii...so, I guess he believes there are 59 states.
This is what we get to look

Oh my GOD
May 11, 2008 - 21:19 ET by DelsaHow wonderfully clever
I am laughing too hard.
This is just too good and the msm needs to start wearing these pins out of respect and support for their guy.
I mean this is a pin they won't mind placing on their lapel
It could be worse...

No matter if it is Obama or any other candidate running so far, we will have a new wave of real conservatives in four years.

May 11, 2008 - 22:32 ET by Delsathat maybe true but someone on the Supreme Court is going to die very soon and I'd bet within the next four years.
If we loose the ability to block the dems in the senate, the next four years could be very costly in more ways than one.
And that really does scare the heck out of me.
Does me too Delsa. Then
May 11, 2008 - 22:59 ET by bigtimerDoes me too Delsa.
Then again everything is scaring me if McCain gets in too...lets see, I heard him say on BOR he doesn't oppose Sanctuary Cities, he is going to speak or has to La Raza, he is for the capntrade with Lieberman/Warner(actually it was originally he and Lieberman that had that bill to begin with and Warner took his place as usual)...he said we will fight no more wars for foreign oil, had to retract that real fast on his plane trip back to wherever he was going, is going to speak at a big global warning thing tomorrow...oh but by the way he speaking at an NRA thing tomorrow, he makes me ill...I could go on, but won't...we've got Gitmo closing, we've got the water-boarding issue, FISA, Geneva conventions BS....on and on this two faced guy goes...
I cannot do it...plus I think there may be enough to block the judges if we have any luck on our side..and guts, which is a big issue with the likes of Snow and Collins.

When you re watch this video
May 11, 2008 - 21:46 ET by Delsaas Obama speaks, people actually laugh. You see him smile and he has no idea why there is laughter.
What an idiot.
He is absolutely not smarter than a fifth grader.
Delsa... That is exactly
May 11, 2008 - 21:52 ET by bigtimerDelsa...
That is exactly how I took it too...
He is so smug with his arrogance he may not still get it to this day why people were laughing because the msm has been mum about it all...anything for their messiah.
This will be used against him if anyone had the sense and guts to do it in the general election season.

plans for new states
May 12, 2008 - 11:26 ET by szampMaybe he just gave us an idea of what he has in mind. Coming from a country where the politicians actually created more states just employ their friends, I was wondering if he plans to do the same.
His idea may be to re-distribute land among his supporters.
Part of California may be given to Code Pink, the rest may go to La Raza. Rev. Wright may get part of Illinois. Che Guevarra relatives may get something. Hamas may say that some land here is considere holy and get part of the pie too. Alaska may go to the Polar Bears. Who knows.
