What do you think about the California Secession idea?

I say, let them do it.

Then we'll be up to the 57 states that Obama visited for sure.

To be fair, I am all for statehood of the various American colonies and protectorates out there. No reason American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam the Virign Islands or the Marinaras shouldn't have someone representing them. Heck, DC has a vote - why not them?

I agree, they should all have representation as well - or allowed to succeed.  However, that is NOT what Obama meant.  He meant to say "47" because he had visited 47 of the 48 contiguous states, but instead, he said "57"... which is pretty damned funny (and sad at the same time for a presidential candidate).  It's like the Quayle"Potatoe" fiasco all over again.
