Kenya, d'oh!

You didn't say 'nation', you said 'state'. Obama mentioned visiting 57 states in the Union while he was campaigning (not the campaigning he's done while President, but before, when he was just a candidate). Since there is tons of speculation that he is not an American citizen, but a citizen of Kenya, I was making a joke about the '57th state'. :-)

I know. We are both familiar with all of this, lol.

Out of curiosity I did a Google search on the ‘57 states’ remark and that's where I came up with the information about 57 Islamic nations.

Thanks for your reply.

I have identical twin daughters. LOTS of work when they're tiny but so much fun!
