10,000 die in kansas from tornado!!
er no sorry i meant 12 i was just tired...
had to laugh - i mean come on if 10,000 had died surely more headlines wud've been made! In a campaign slip-up, US Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama dramatically overstated the number killed by recent tornadoes in Kansas. "In case you missed it, this week there was a tragedy in Kansas," he said, adding that 10,000 people had died. The true number of people killed was 12. Mr Obama later appeared to blame tiredness for the gaffe. Senator Hillary Clinton currently enjoys a double digit lead over Mr Obama in national opinion polls. A spokesman later said Mr Obama had meant to say "at least 10" instead of 10,000. During his speech the Democratic senator from Illinois did however appear to realise his mistake. "There are going to be times when I get tired," he said. "There are going to be times when I get weary. There are going to be times when I make mistakes."

Re: 10,000 die in kansas from tornado!!
Suprised it wasnt GWB that had the wrong numbers of dead. If it had been 10k it would have been one of the worst natural disaster for a while and considering its ferocity 12 is very low indeed. Thought the had dropped a nuke on the place.
Could it be that the number quoted in error by Barack Obama was the number of voters in the town? Mother Nature sure let rip through the place and I feel sory for the victims and the dead.
