Obama Speaks with "Deep Humility" on Memorial Day (Lies about his uncle)

"In World War Two we didn't have the concept of post traumatic stress syndrome. People had to basically handle it on their own," he said. Referring to an uncle who had been one of the first U.S. troops into Auschwitz, the concentration camp, Obama said: "The story in the family is he came home and just went up in the attic."

[StopBHO]

Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army on 27 January 1945. American soldiers did not enter the camp.

I’m sure it’s seared into his memory.

[Always Right]

I understand this event was attended heavily by fallen hereos.

Referring to an uncle who had been one of the first U.S. troops into Auschwitz,

Auschwitz, or Oswiecim in Polish, is in southeastern Poland and was liberated by Soviet troops long before the May 8th end of the war in Europe.

Maybe Baraks grandpa was part of the Red Army.

[N. Theknow]

Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army on 27 January 1945. American soldiers did not enter the camp.

So, that means his uncle was a Commie too?

"The story in the family is he came home and just went up in the attic."

And does that make him a Typical White Person?

[dynachrome]

I believe one of the first camps liberated by US troops was Dachau.

[llevrok]

I’m sure it’s seared into his memory.

Just like his being 1/2 white is.

[DManA]

Was his uncle a typical white guy?

[pissant]

Wanna bet we find out Gramps was a perfectly fine, engaged citizen, and not an attic dweller?

[Red_Devil 232]

I bet the were Boo - ing silently!

[Piquaboy]

Being stupid is not his fault. His Grandma caused it!

[DBrow]

Barry didn't say his uncle liberated the death camps, just that he was among the first US troops in, without saying when that was or what his uncle's role was.

Tread carefully here and don't assume he's claiming that his uncle (black or white) was a liberator.

His claims that solar is a viable main power source is much more attackable. The amount of convertible solar power, averaged over the entire US for a whole year, day-night, comes out to 7 Watts per square foot. Solar power advocates use the summer sun in Arizona at noon without considering atmosphere or solar panel conversion efficiencies and get 141 Watts per square foot.

Solar has received huge subsidies for decades, second only to wind power, and we have little to show for it.

Obama Macht Frei

[gate2wire]

“My grandfather marched in Patton’s Army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you. My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line..”

I guess those are the “typical white” grandparents he’s so proud of...

Re: Referring to an uncle who had been one of the first U.S. troops into Auschwitz... and Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army on 27 January 1945. American soldiers did not enter the camp.

Lenin's "Big Lie' propaganda... lives on!

[dynachrome]

Darn good slogan for the obamessiah. As historically ignorant as he is, he will probaly use it.
