Did Obama ever say that he campaigned in 57 states? Or, is that a completely false allegation?
Talking with reporters at a later campaign stop, Senator Obama expressed concern that he’d recently misstated both the number of potential victims of a recent cyclone in Burma and the number of states he’d visited, saying: “I hope I said 100 thousand people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It’s a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh …”
Quickly enough, based on the (spurious) rumor that Barack Obama is a Muslim, someone came up with the fanciful idea that his mention of “fifty-seven states” was not a dog-tired campaigner’s simply misstating “forty-seven” as “fifty-seven,” but a reference to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which has 57 member states:

Ah, because I see Trump for what he is, that makes me a "lefty". Tell me, how many other republican figures have I shown distaste for?
I see him as a flawed man just like all of us but those on the far left like the progressives believe they are not flawed but are virtuous creatures.

"Virtues are in the eye of the beholder"???? What kind of horseshit is this? What you are saying is that virtue is merely subjective and you can define it as anything you want it to be. Precisely the same way a secular humanist defines morality. This is truly a mentally corrupt, emotionally frigid, and spiritually barren view of human life.
Ah, yet another display of your own ignorance. Virtue IS subjective, many traits that some call virtues, others call flaws. Ever heard the old standard "Silence is a virtue"? Is silence really a virtue if you see a wrong is being committed?
"True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment." - William Penn
"Silence is a virtue in those who are deficient in understanding." - Dominique Bouhours (Particularly apt quote for people like you)
"Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own." - George Bernard Shaw (Another one perfectly suited for you)
Would you like to try for some more?

You may want to familiarize yourself with the meaning of virtue-signaling.

I wouldn't know, I haven't bothered paying any attention this early on as I will play no part in the primaries. better to wait and see the chosen candidates and choose from that lot than waste all my time tracking so many for no real reason.

So, you don't know what the true universal human virtues are, the ones that transcend the human ego, that are infinitely superior to subjective abstracts. OK. No problem, signal your brand of virtue if it rings your chimes. If you see silence as a virtue, then abide by it.Ah, yet another display of your own ignorance. Vir... (show quote)

KNOWING when to be silent is a virtue; one you don't share as evidenced by your virtue-signaling.
He doesn't get it!

Like we give a shit what you think. The sum total of your contributions is HATE. It is highly likely that the one you hate the most is yourself. Everything you post is a reflection of who and what you are. In every post you display all the symptoms of narcissism and self-loathing. I give your Idiot Pumpkinfuhrer a couple, he is now over eleven thousand.
You have never, not once, posted a kind or decent comment about anyone or anything. You are given to posting grotesquely obscene memes, you use contemptuous and slanderous names, and you have no respect for other members of OPP.
In a word you are a miserable excuse for a human being.
