Don't tell me that there isn't a severe liberal bias in the media!
In 1992 Dan Quayle was pummeled in the media for misspelling "potatoe", and his candidacy was finished. Media tells us that this candidate is too stupid to be president.
In 2008 Obama says that he has visited 57 states with one more to go, but it gets no mention by most media or at best it was buried in another story on the last page. He reminds me of one of the intelligence challenged contestants on Jay Leno's "Jaywalking". Where they ask people on the street some of the most basic questions, but their answers are comical, because of how lame these people are.

You can bet that if John McCain had made this same mistake, we would be hearing about it constantly for the next six months. Comedians and media would have many jokes about it being a "senior moment", and his candidacy would be finished.
Maybe if Obama paid more attention to the flag, he would get a visual reminder to help him with the correct number of states that make up The United States of America. Here is a picture of the flag lapel pin that Obama probably owns.
One week after his 57 states comment (That's right, most of us haven't even heard of this, but it has been over a week), Obama came on stage to a raucous crowd and said "Thank you, Sioux City". The crowd went dead silent. Why? Because he was one state away in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and not Sioux City, Iowa. Maybe in Obama's 57 states, parts of Iowa and South Dakota have been combined while other states have been split up, but citizens still don't dig it if you screw up the name of their city.
Why is it that the media can destroy a conservative candidate for being stupid, but "The Great Speaker", Obama, gets a pass while consistently showing his lack of intelligence on basic facts. This is as fair and honest as NBA referee, Tim Donaghy, who bet on games that he officiated.
I wonder which candidate the media is backing? Hmmm? What the f***?
