Obama "Asian or American"

[cbtengr]

" "When I meet with world leaders, what's striking -- whether it's in Europe or here in Asia -- the kinds of fundamental reforms and changes, both on the revenue side and the public pension side, that other countries are having to make are so much more significant than what we need to do in order to get our books in order," Obama said.

Obama was in Hawaii when he made these comments.

Ok now I'm really confused , perhaps he's not as articulate as Joe Biden thinks he is. Isn't Hawaii one of the 57 states? At least thats what I thought he previously was claiming. Looks like fresh ammo for the birthers.

"Isn't Hawaii one of the 57 states?"

Is that a typo? :eek:

That's a reference to an Obama interview gaff in 2007/08 when he mentioned the 57 states of America.... Ironically there are 57 Muslim states/nations..

If I am reading that quote correctly, then Obama is admitting that the other countries policies of socialism and freebies have put them in a debt hole worse than ours.

You would think that would give pause to some of this give it away crowd in Washington, i.e., Obama. :munchin
