The questions then are: What was his grandfather's name? his unit? his dates of service? his dates of service with that unit? when did they enter the camp? do the unit records support Barry's assertion? did they physically enter the camp itself or simply visit one of the satellite camps? does Barry have any evidence to support his assertion that his grandfather was one of those who entered the camp? Are there other soldiers who can corroborate Barry's assertion?

Completely, utterly, irrelevant.

Look at how Obama phrased the assertion. It's a "story in the family", so the only thing that really needs to be accurate is that ... it's a "story in the family". And if this starts to snowball, that's EXACTLY how it'll be played: Obama has already thrown a willingness to throw his grandmother under the political bus ... why not his ptsd-afflicted "uncle"?

Guess it's ok that he didn't take questions after the speech. Afterall, would anyone in the MSM follow-up with "Senator, could you please tell us what the meaning of "is" is?".

It is an “uncle” he refers to.

He said his grandfather enlisted immediately following the Pearl Harbor attack.
