No, he misspoke. He didn’t even attribute it to conflating the two.

I am far from an Obama fan, and yes, he misspoke here. But, I am pretty tired of evaluating every.single.word that every politician utters.
I am the person that posted this blunder in response to the poster that was up in arms about Trump saying Kaine was from NJ, and not VA.
It was a mistake, pure and simple.
He is human - just like Obama is human.

He absolutely said this. I just listened to him say. I hope Putin likes me. I hope America does the right thing in November. This is not a reality show, this is real life.

Nice attempt at trying to justify Obama’s blunder.

Did you watch the roll call last night? There are exactly 57 jurisdictions with delegates to the convention; 50 states and 7 jurisdictions without electoral votes, including:

American Samoa
Democrats Abroad
Guam
Northern Marianas
Puerto Rico
Unassigned
Virgin Islands

I've heard this "joke" about Obama for years and wondered if the people who repeat were just ignorant of that or if there was some next-level humor I was missing.

At the risk of going off topic, here is what Obama said:

"it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in fifty .... seven states? I think one left to go. One left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit but my staff would not justify it."

He didn’t say, “states and territories.” He said, “states.”

And, how did he respond when questioned about this blunder?

Talking with reporters at a later campaign stop, Senator Obama expressed concern that he'd recently misstated both the number of potential victims of a recent cyclone in Burma and the number of states he'd visited, saying:
"I hope I said 100 thousand people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It's a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh ..."

This is from Snopes, who rated the claim that he said “57 states” true: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/57states.asp

And, yes, he was campaigning and misspoke. Same as Trump today about NJ. When corrected by a reporter, he corrected himself.
It is a nonissue.

Obama said he *visited* 57 states and one left to go -- Hawaii -- because he is not allowed to travel there.

So you have travel log that Obama visited "Unassigned"? Sorry no matter how hard you try, the math doesn't work.

So the heart of the this long-running joke is that he conflated "states" with "jurisdictions" while giving a stump speech in somebody's school library? That is disappointing, I thought there had to be more to it.

Someone who would say this is disqualified to be Commander in Chief. I don't care how "frustrated" he is.

News flash, being president can be frustrating.

How you speak at a news conference has consequences.

Kind of like his supporters are playing right into his hands by using fear mongering and stoking hatred?

The only fear mongering and hatred I am seeing on this thread is coming from those supporting Hillary.

It's in response to Trump's fear mongering and hatred in his supporters. Also, the difference is that he is running for POTUS. We are posting on an anonymous bored. Very different.

Hitler used the same tactic to get people to support him. So yes, this type of tactic scares me, and I hate it.

Yes, it's a non-issue, but it still got a lot of undeserved attention, just like Trump's error is getting undeserved attention, to the detriment of much more important news.

When someone has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, it is inevitable that they induce intense loathing in everyone around. This is one reason I think Trump will lose bigly. He will ultimately insult and anger everyone, even his own supporters, like he insulted the voters of Iowa. It's just a matter of time.

How about Hillary's slogan: "I am with her"?
