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.

I’ve seen the name Jon Virgil Payne in the family trees on ancestry.com as the youngest brother of Madelyn.

Gee, if he lives in Chicago, why didn’t Obama visit his elderly Uncle? If he had talked to him, he might not have had all these problems. Take your elderly uncle out to coffee, Barack!
