The comment is a talking point sure, but I wish people would move beyond foul ups.  When you have thousands of things going through your mind, most of which are incredibly stressful and thought provoking, you're going to say something retarded once in a while.  I'm sure Obama knows there are 50 states.  When a candidate states a position or associates with someone of questionable character, that is something that should raise a question.  But when they say there are 57 states or forget what Sunni and Sheite(sp?, see I don't even know the spelling and am too lazy to use google) disagree on (like i always get medicare and medicaide confused, doesn't mean I don't know what each program does), people who couldn't run for county janitor shouldn't harp and howl like monkeys on such slipups and should foucs on important things.

With regard to his hardon, who knows?  In my own lifetime there have been plenty of occasions where Randy Jr. comes to life when it's least desired.  I know there is a picture floating around of me at some speaker during collge with an obvious raging hardon, that at the time, I thought I had concealed.  Every guy knows (or should) the standard trick of tucking it under the elastic of your underwear, it's quite possible that Obama thought he had concealed it and stretching out his leg was an attempt to make it "blend in" rather than obviously stand out.   I just seriously doubt he would model a hardon, especially knowing the scrutiny he is under. 
  While  those here saying it may be photoshopped or "natural", let's be honest.  We can be adult enough to acknowledge that Mr. Obama's dick gets hard every now and then and if he was naturally that large, he would have been working with Jim Bob many years ago.   It would actually be worse if he was "natural" as it would be obvious he bought those jeans to accentuate his "gift".  While such behavior is acceptable for Jim Morrison and Axl Rose, it's hardly something a man seeking the Presidency would do.

Personally I see enough problems with Obama, mainly his basic political platform, his racist history, ungrateful wife and those whom he has sought their companionship and advice.  We don't (I don't at least) need to delude myself into thinking he believes there are 57 states or that he's an exhibitionist (Billy Clinton gots that one locked up) to deter me from voting for him.  The fact that his polices are bad for america is good enough.

I also want to add that taking credit for something you have no involvement in is pretty dumb.  For example, me claiming that I am somehow cool or better because of the american revolution, ww2, etc means nothing as I wasn't there.  Considering you have no idea what is taught in American schools, and I'd bet my paycheck you're extremely ignorant on military history, I'd be careful before you begin a debate with me about who did what and who deserves credit.  Another ill-informed wannabe doing the "cool" thing and poking fun at "americans", exactly my point that started this whole side show.

You're missing my point.  I'm not saying Canada isn't a good ally and I'm certainly not saying Canada doesn't make money off of the US.  I'm stating that from a security standpoint (economic as well as militarily considered) the UK is America's greatest ally. 

Let's be honest, Canada could "cut-off" the US tomorrow, but who would be hurt more by that?  The US needs allies that are willing to help enforce our policies, not just make a buck off of us.
