Here’s Obama telling us that he’s campaigned in 57 states:
That a tired Obama made such an (admittedly weird) error is less important than the collective yawn of the establishment media. Try to imagine what would have happened if John McCain had said such a thing.
Instead of making the occasional passing reference to it, the various “news” media would have run banner headlines and their op-ed pages would have been full of speculation about whether McCain is fit to be President at such an advanced age.
Look for many more examples of this double standard in the months to come.

You have an excellent point.
My guesstimate based on performance to date is that Hussein Obama seems to have on the order of in excess of 10 gaffes for every single McCain mistake.
Yet the democrat party controlled mainstream media will ferociously tout that any future McCain gaffe is a symptom of “early senility.”
The very same media will totally spike the endless Obama verbal errors, as they have done in this interesting story.
It looks like Hussein could not pass a basic US Citizenship Test.

And just how much has Heinz given to his campaign?

LOL. My tinfoil hat must need a tune-up. I hadn’t thought of that angle.
