Obama’s uncle did what? By see-dubya • May 27, 2008 09:50 AM CBS:
Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.” Purple Avenger, blogging at Ace of Spades:
Auschwitz of course is in Poland. It was liberated by the Red Army on Jan 27 1945. Poland, on most maps is usually placed to the east of Germany, although we may need to investigate the geography textbooks the Messiah used as a child…
The Allies were wrapping up the battle of the bulge in late January of 1945 — the Rhine crossings were still well into the future when Auschwitz was liberated. Either Obama’s uncle served in the Red Army, or he’s spinning Clintonesque lies about Auschwitz to sell his government programs. Hey, it’s for a good cause…but it’s not enough for him. It has to be personal. It has to be all about him.
It’s like Bill Clinton whining about those Arkansas church burnings he witnessed as a child–church burnings which never actually happened.
I think the Obamessiah just out Tuzla’d Hillary. The man is…nefarious.
See post # 91.
Why do liberals always point to veterans of war as being crazy (his crazy uncle in the attic), homeless or mass-murderers?
Nope. Go apologize for Barry somewhere else.
Recollection of Obama Uncle’s War Service Missing Key Details
I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps and the story in our family is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn’t leave the house for six months, right. Now obviously something had really affected him deeply but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain
It was an obvious political hit. What a lying scumbag.
They think people who serve are kooks to begin with, so they’re bound to be much worse afterwards in the Liberal’s view.
I met Said (Sa-eed)Obama at the United States Supreme Court. The man was introduced by Obama’s chief of staff as Obama’s uncle. He is Obama’s father’s brother. He could not possibly have served in the military in the 1940’s. I am not talking about his mother— I am talking about his paternal uncle.
I believe, and have believed, since 2004 that Obama is a Manchurian candidate.
Wow, no mention of an uncle in 2002:
Remarks of Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama Against Going to War with Iraq
| October 02, 2002
October 2, 2002
Good afternoon. Let me begin by saying that although this has been billed as an anti-war rally, I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances. The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union, and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil. I don’t oppose all wars.
My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain. I don’t oppose all wars.

"The problem is not only that an outright falsehood, but the Obama’s mother was an only child, his father was in Kenya..
There was no Uncle...
His mother's generation, she was born in 1942, was too young to be involved in fighting in WW2. I guess that he is referring to a sibling of his grandfather or grandmother who would have been his great uncle.
True, but the Lamestream Lapdogs only get chills up their legs.
Auschwitz and Treblinka were both in Poland. No American units ever got with 100 miles of either of those hell holes. Auschwitz was 'liberated' by the Soviet Red Army in January of 1945. Treblinka was closed by the Nazis in 1943 --- it was never 'liberated' by anyone.
It doesn’t matter. Democrats lie for the purpose of making a point. The point is all that matters. The point associated with the Auschwitz/Treblinka lie is that he is not anti-war. The point with the “crazy uncle in the attic”/Auschwitz lie is that he wants more government programs. Both of these are laudible objectives in his eyes (one to make him look good, the other to pander to the more government crowd). Thus, the lies don’t matter.
Maybe Dan Rather is on his payroll.
Grandfather's third wife was Sarah, the one often referred to by Obama as his “grandmother.” She is not a blood relative and describes herself as a lifelong Muslim.
Sarah was the primary caregiver for Senior after his mother, Akuma, left the family when her children were still young.
After Obama’s description of his REAL grandmother as a “typical white person,” Auma Obama, Obama’s half-sister, said: “By our definition, in our culture, she is his grandmother.”
Perhaps, this uncle guy, is using the same definition. Then again, they way they change partners, anything is possible.
Here are my two sources - - See “Akuma”:

And here's what I have on the family:
“mountebank”
Great description of our guy (can’t say boy).
See post # 115 — Obama has no uncle Said (Sa-eed)Obama.
He only has an Uncle Sam and he doesn’t care for him very much.
Re: Obama’s Chief of Staff
Near as I can tell from this Google search on “Obama’s Chief of Staff,” he doesn’t have a Chief of Staff.
These people are all liars.
