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.
He is shaping up in every way to surpass the evil Bill Clinton, in word and misdeed.
No--the quote is of the blogger chick, who said "he spoke of" it. She may have misquoted him. Is there a video? Audio? Direct quote from another source?
Of course there’s a video and I have it - - but since you are looking for an argument - - go find it yourself.
Relax. At the time I asked, there was no video. Now we all have it. Thanks.
The man escorting the Kenyans was Obama’s chief of staff for his U.S. Senate Office. I have the guy’s card somewhere at my office.
I agree. I think George Soros is behind it. He likes to overthrow governments and Obama is his kinda guy.
Verrrrrrrrrrrrrry Interesttttttttttttting!!
But Stupid!!
I’m going to defend Barack on one issue. He was raised by his grandparents. I was raised by my grandmother, I called all her brothers “uncle”, even though they were great-uncles. Now Auschwitz, that’s another story.
