Was he really just "tired", or was it a slip of the tongue?

Although the blogs when wild, I did not pay much mind to Obama's flub because people make mistakes and the disaster of an Obama presidency is far more dangerous than stupidity of not knowing how many STATES there are in the union. But when Ardeshir Dolat emailed me and pointed to what the source of the 57 STATES on Obama's mind, it made me think.
The Organisation of the ISLAMIC Conference (OIC) is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 nations, most of which are ISLAMIC, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.

The 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."
