Do you think Obama's "57 states" slip-up is proof that he is a secret Muslim?


Barack Obama is under attack again for accidentally saying he had visited "57 states" -- which critics say is a reference to Obama being a secret Muslim, as there are 57 Muslim states.

"The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is the second largest inter-governmental organization after the United Nations which has membership of 57 states spread over four continents," according to the Organization of the Islamic Conference.



Do you think Obamas 57 states slip-up is proof that he is a secret Muslim?

One slip of the tongue and somebody goes and finds an Islamic federation that has 57 states. You might as well associate that number with Heinz and their 57 varieties. Coincidence? I think so

American democracy is too robust for that to happen. But you still have to be watchful.

I'm more concerned about his reference to his "Muslim religion" on George Stephanopolous' show last Sunday.

Well you Americans have a huge task ahead of you to select a Government that will not take down the United States, which is the very life of democracy in this world. We use to have democracy in our country, now that we are without it - it is so painful, that our rights are taken away and when nothing is certain - you get a job today, but tomorrow you could lose it for no good reason. If you say something that the Government does not like - you and your relatives are liable for inciting unrest. Just last night the Police Commissioner said any complaints against members of the ruling "junta" will not be investigated. Another said, public complaints must be investigated - but it does not pay if it is against those who are ruling the country. You have something good going, no matter how bad you perceive it; but please, please I beg you all, think hard and think well, vote to preserve democracy for the sake of the free world. Good luck to you all as you think about how you will vote in November.

It's just a slip, it means nothing.  I say stupid things all the time when I actually know better.  It happens, we're human.  Yes, even Presidents.

Yes it is stupid that he does not know how many states are actually in the country of which he would like to be president. That's ridiculous, school kids not involved in a campaign to be leader of the free world know that.But I don't see what this has to do with being a muslim.What the hell does one thing have to do with another. That's craziness.
