I hate to do it...but John McCain was 22 when he learned that, almost 23. Barak probably learned it when he was about 6 (and apparently forgot it). I was probably about 5 or 6 as well....except I haven't forgotten it yet. So, once again - I find that I have something in common with both of the candidates .

I thought there were 57. Maybe I'm getting the United States confused with steak sauce.

when you see things in terms of the collective, as BO does, what's the difference between 50 and 57, unless it changes the number of taxpayers?
