.A Bold-Faced Lie from Obama
"
Obama claimed his uncle was with the American brigade that liberated Auschwitz.
Lie.
Auschwitz was in Poland. It was liberated by Russian troops, not by Americans.
Splash, out
Jason
UPDATE: Obama's campaign is now saying it wasn't his uncle, but his great uncle. And it wasn't Auschwitz, but Buchenwald.
Buchenwald was a Hell on earth. But how ill-informed do you have to be to confuse Buchenwald with the Big A?
Apparently this seminal event in Obama's family history was just never interesting enough to Obama to learn about in any detail."

Why don't you get your priorities in order?
Obama is a brilliant man, a high achiever who knows enough about the constitution to have taught it. After growing up handicapped by his color and class, he achieved tremendous success as a lawyer and then used his skills and credentials to make communities better. He has consistently supported veteran's benefits where right-wingers have not. He came off the campaign trail to vote for the Webb-Hagel GI bill. Is it really worth while to pick apart every thing he says looking for details that are slightly off?
"After growing up handicapped by his color and class,"
Which Obama are you talking about? I think you need to check your facts.
He got into politics by hitching his wagon to a black church political machine, then he jettisoned them at the first sign of trouble.
Now he don't even know his own family history and was just using it as a prop in a political campaign.
I think he needs more looking in too before we elect him President. Talk about the next Bush, don't you think these people need to be vetted a little more before we hand them the button.
