| 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?
