Is "57 states" the only erroneous statement Obama has ever made?

Whenever anyone asks about the latest ridiculous statement from the human gaffe machine that is Sarah Palin, the only conservative response is "Obama said there were 57 states" Does anyone else think it's strange that this is the only thing Obama has ever said that conservatives can point to in an attempt to claim he is stupid? For anyone keeping score, it seems to be Obama: 1, Palin: about a billion.

Yes, and of course no one really believes that he actually thinks there are 57 states. But Palin? We all know she thought Africa really was a country.

If she made public statements then she is fair game....also the mere fact that she is his wife also makes her "fair game". Being a potential First Lady is reason enough
