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>

In a campaign speech, Obama said he 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>

Obama has declared himself to be a [[Christian]], yet never replaced his [[Muslim]] name with a Christian one as many do,<ref>For example, when Saul became a Christian, he changed his name to "Paul"; when the famous boxer Cassius Clay converted to [[Islam]], he took the Muslim name of [[Muhammad Ali]].</ref>, making his claim somewhat dubious.  Obama downplays his [[Islam]]ic background by claiming that his [[Kenya]]n [[Muslim]] father was a "confirmed [[atheist]]" before Obama was born, but in fact less than 1% of Kenyans are atheists, agnostics or non-religious.<ref>http://www.adherents.com/Na/Na_14.html</ref>
