Didn't read all your post either Minora, but I'm glad someone else finally didn't take the original post for its word. It was pretty disappointed to see so many people agree with it over such silly points it makes. >_>

I'm not even gonna bother saying much... but if they're comparing obama to bush (as in the next part) this is the least stupid thing I've ever heard a president say.
There is actually a reason he says 57. I can't remember it now, since it was so long ago, but it was made clear around the time it happened. I believe it was that 47 was how many states did something-or-rather that he was discussing, and 50 is how many states there are, but he misspoke, mixed 47 and 50, and said 57. Which is an easily understandable mistake. I even typo'd 50 as 57 when typing this.
