"I think it's serious. . . . It's a serious situation, but there's a lot of things we need to do. We have a lot of work to do and I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border."

Do I need to post a map too? 

Here is my commentary ----> Isn't that funny?

AS hilarious as Obama's 57 states. No more, no less.

obama was counting DC, LA, san fran, NYC, oleans, mexico and canada as states.

it's not obama's fault, his degrees are all in poly-sci.

Maybe there was something to Obama's speech location in Germany? I took as a look into Obama's presidential reign. Some say, just a dumb mistake.

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

 That's great stuff. The wingnuts have clearly picked a winner.

Well, be fair. The wingnuts only had Hillary or Barack from whom to pick. The others really weren't in the race from the start.

 My favorite definition, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wingnut

1.    wingnut    
   
n. An outspoken, irrational person with deeply-held, nominally conservative, political views. A person who chooses on principle to be flagrantly ignorant. A "right-wing nut".
Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Fred Phelps are examples of the wingnut element in modern America.

Does McCain's campaign remind you a lot of Bob Dole's also?

That's pushing hidden meanings a bit far.  If he spoke anywhere in Berlin, it would be in Hitler's capitol city.  Munich?... the beerhall putsch. Nurenberg? The city of mass Nazi demonstrations.  Landsberg? no, that's where he wrote Mien Kampf... Just where in the country is the spectre completely exorsized?

peanut does not equal pea nut.

A peanut is neither a pea or a nut.
