“One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is... the dangers of contraception in this country... Many in the Christian faith have said, ‘Well, that’s okay. Contraception’s okay.’ It’s not okay because it’s a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”
There's such a difference between mis-speaking and saying what you really mean.

Originally posted by wittywonkaYou are absolutely right ! Obama does admit his mistakes. Like the time he chuckled and tried to make a joke about the "shovel ready jobs" and said, “

Its what the man believes.
Agree or disagree, I cant fault him for not caving on his convictions.
But I still think his policy positions themselves are (or at the very least, should be) ridiculously outside of mainstream American politics, and that's why I find some of his quotes so bizarre. Because, again, he clearly believes in those ideas wholeheartedly, which is obviously more than anyone can say about Obama's "57 states" comment.

November's going to be a slaughter.
Lesser known Obama quotes:
1. "Hey Bloggo, how much do I have to pay you to be president again?"
2. "But you are my press secretary. How could you lead me to believe there were 57 states?"
3. "If I can't go back to Kenya then I'll turn this country into Kenya."
4. "Nobel Peace Prize? Blahahahahahaha!!"
