Here are the enlistment records of Charles W. Payne, brother of Madelyn Payne, great uncle of Obama:

Charles W. Payne, born 1924, enlisted 10 Nov '42, Navy, 6293977 REgistered, order #12019, Kansas City, Wyandotte Co., Board #4

So, Obama's great uncle liberated Buchenwald from his ship somewhere in the Pacific?

"It was a team effort. Not the work of one man or troop."

Oh get real.

By that reasoning, a PFC draftee who spent his entire career at a training base in Mississippi helped raise the flag on Iwo Jima.

Or that the same dude earned just as many medals as Audie Murphy.

I'm sure John Kerry likes your reasoning.

The MSM is holding back the story in order to give Obama’s camp a chance to clarify.

I’ll bet it is the right Charles W. Payne and that he was in the Navy, never got anywhere near a German Extermination Camp, and probably turns out to be a cook on one of the Navy boats.

And there is nothing wrong with that. The only issue is that Obama has to lie to try to deflect all the criticism that he might be antisemitic.

Or just holding back until it fades away. I still don't think the anyone in the mainstream media has picked up the story of the 57 states that Obama has visited. Just a minor gaffe. A presidential candidate does not know how many states there are.

I see yahoo took the question down. Maybe, like google, Al Gore has a share in the site.

I think I’ll go home tonight and amaze my friends with all kinds of amazing make believe relatives. I have a feeling they will not only have signed the Declaration of Independence, liberated the slaves, brought about peace in our time, ended the depression single handedly, and been named a Nobel Peace Prize winner, just like my HERO Al Gore (lol). Hopefully the truth won’t come out because the media isn’t in my back pocket and people will then see that I’m nothing more than a liar and a pretty bad one at that.

Long thread so maybe this was covered.

Obama is going as hard as he can for the Jewish vote which is slipping especially in Florida.

This uncle comment was to show his ties to Jews - liberator of Auschwitz.

The same is true of the attempt to smear John Hagee as anti-Jewish. Jews who know Hagee know he is a great champion of Israel and a crusader against anti-Semitism. McCain should be handling this better.

“Concerning the service of Mr. Charles Payne: C.T. Payne was a soldier in the 89th Infantry Division. He served in the 355th Infantry Regiment, Company K. The 355th Infantry Regiment was the unit to liberate Ohrdruf. Mr. Payne was there.”

Obama’s grand uncle was Charles W. Payne, not Charles T. Payne. Also, the webmaster of the site is a moonbat.

...of course, there are 57 Islamic States, maybe it was a Freudian slip?

Now, that is FASCINATING! Excellent observation. BTW, enlisted in the Navy are SAILORS, not soldiers...and thanks!

28. Charles T. PAYNE was born about June 1861 in Missouri and died sometime after the 1930 census where he is enumerated with his eldest daughter Lillie in Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas.

OK, then it must be what Obama meant was that:

His great uncle, not his uncle, whose name is Charles T. Paine, but listed in his genealogy as Charles W. Payne, freed what he thought was Auschwitz, but really was Buchenwald, even though both C. W. Payne’s and C. T. Payne’s enlistment records show that they both enlisted in the Navy right after Pearl Harbor, well that is a year after Pearl Harbor, to protect our 57 states.

I saw that on Sweetness and light. Moonbat central at the Kitchell 89th website. My guess is Charles T. is NOT Obama’s uncle.

From a post at S&L by CurvyRed:

I am having a great deal of difficulty with verfication of this Charles T. Payne, because according to genealogy website his mother had one brother Charles W. Payne.

Rolla Charles PAYNE and Leona MCCURRY married in Kansas about 1922 and had the following children:

i. Madelyn PAYNE
ii. Charles W. PAYNE born about 1924.
iii. Arlene PAYNE born about 1926

Now there is a Jon Payne who claims to be Charles T. Payne’s brother:
http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2.....e-mistake/

I really hope someone can verify if the great uncle is Charles W. or Charles T. and who the heck is Jon?

Jon Payne, Obama’s maternal great uncle, told CNN that his older brother Charles returned from the war with photographs of concentration camps but did not want to talk about his experiences. Payne, 71, said he was unsure if his brother — who is 83 and still living in Chicago — took the photographs himself.
