Obama's Great-Uncle Says President Visiting Concentration Camp Site for 'Political Reasons'
President Obama plans to visit Germany's Buchenwald site as part of his multi-country tour, which begins this week -- but Obama's great-uncle, who helped liberate the camp, says it's all political.
President Obama's scheduled visit to a former Nazi concentration camp is being done for "political reasons," the president's great-uncle -- who helped liberate that camp -- said in a recent interview.
Obama plans to visit Germany's Buchenwald site as part of his multi-country tour, which begins this week.
Charles Payne, Obama's great-uncle who helped liberate a sub-camp of Buchenwald during World War II, spoke frankly about the visit in an interview with Germany's Der Spiegel magazine.
Asked if Obama would be traveling in his footsteps, Payne said: "I don't buy that. ... This is a trip that he chose, not because of me I'm sure, but for political reasons."
He said Obama also might be trying to improve his "standing" with Chancellor Angela Merkel, since "she gave him a hard time during his campaign and also afterwards."

Obama goes to the bathroom ‘for political reasons’.
Just because a Chicago street wantabe refers to another as ‘cousin’, doesn’t necessarily mean that person is the sibling of his parents’ brethren.
Most people do not want to believe this, yet. But it's going to happen.
This is the white side, not the Mac Daddy side.
It will be interesting to see if Obamanazi invites his relative along for the trip after he dared to diss The Fuhrer.
Couldn’t go to Normandy tho......
Obama will fake sympathy for the Holocaust victims who were butchered by the National Socialists, the Nazis.
But in fact he is not a friend of Israel or the Jews. He thinks Israel is the aggressor against Islamic terrorists. Iran wants to destroy Israel. They have announced this intention. But Obama wants to appease Iran, which is biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
for some strange reason i have yet to comprehend isn’t it the truth about Dems getting it backwards all the time?
I'm really getting confused here.......
the teleprompter was telling Obama that he needs to work on his concentration...so Obama says, “FIELD TRIP!”
Ah yes, this is the “crazy” uncle that bambi talked about.
Obama lives and breathes for political reasons. Even going on a cute date to New York is done for political reasons.
