  • fjwjr, on 05/17/2008, -3/+157 states…...with one left to go (that’s 58)........but he hasn’t been to Alaska and Hawaii (that’s two for 59).......?! He forgot the state of New England (that’s 60. Whew, got um all)

  • HiCaP, on 05/17/2008, -4/+2don't forget to add iran in, he wants to go there also.

  • Gioleb, on 05/17/2008, -2/+0I'm confused...
    Should I bury this as inaccurate?
  • Kangalanatolian, on 05/17/2008, -5/+1Somebody said there were 57 Islamic states. Is that true or BS?
    • fjwjr, on 05/18/2008, -0/+0The Question:

      Recently I heard a radio journalist mention that there are 57 Islamic states. Is that true? And if so, which countries are Islamic states?
      The Answer:

      That exact question has been on our minds as well. We did some research and found a group called the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The OIC has 57 member states. The majority religion in these states is not necessarily Islam, but leaders in these countries believe it is necessary to ". . . speak with one voice to safeguard the interests and secure the progress and well-being of their peoples and of all Muslims in the world."

  • ReidFleming, on 05/17/2008, -1/+5This 'story' gets submitted several times a day. I've said it before, I'd rather have a candidate that honestly misspeaks (57 vs. 47) than one who misspeaks deliberately. Grow up, people. If this is the type of thing you've got on Obama, what does that say?
  • theuniversal, on 05/17/2008, -1/+4You people really make a lot out of a verbal slip. If you think Obama doesn't know how many states there are, you're clinically retarded.
    • ReidFleming, on 05/17/2008, -0/+3More accurately, this is called being, 'deliberately obtuse'.
