Obama claimed to have visited 57 states while campaigning for president of the United States, which of course has only 50 states.  He could never explain where the false number of 57 came from, but it has been observed that there are 57 [[Islam]]ic states and Obama was educated at an [[Islam]]ic grade school while he lived in an [[Islam]]ic country.<ref>http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2008/05/12/obamas-freudian-slip-there-are-57-islamic-states/</ref>
