Listen or read what Obama actually said in relation to the so-called 57 states gaffe. Obama implied there were sixty (60) states not fifty seven: the fifty seven he had visited with one more to go; and Alaska and Hawaii which his staff didn’t allow him to visit. 57+1+2 = 60. In other words he misspoke saying fifty seven instead of forty seven. No big deal in itself. It’s ironic that the many folk who blame him for miscounting are themselves guilty of not listening properly to the gaffe itself and therefore also end up miscounting.
