How many states are in the United States?


 

Obama: "I've now been to 57 states"

May 9 - On the campaign trail in Beaverton, Oregon, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama mistakenly tells a crowd that's he's been to 57 states - with one left to go.

Besides the traditional 50 states of the United States, Obama has included Israel, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Venezula, Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Gaum as honorary 'states' of the Union.  States he hasn't campaigned in: Alaska, West Virginia, and Hawaii (his home-state).

It's a short - 27 second video clip.  No worse than McCain's 100 year war video clip :)
