I do struggle with the concept of a law professor not knowing how many states there are. So, if he wants to argue that there really are 57, then yes, I would be concerned.

This was taken out of context and is a complete non-issue. Obama was traveling from state to state to state at the time and he said it as a joke to imply that it sure seems like more than 50 states with as much bouncing around as he was doing.
This "misquote" is almost as bad as the "100 years in Iraq" that liberals use against McCain. Complete nonsense.
