I’m sure the messiah backspin on this lie will be as creative as the original.

For the record, five concentration camps were liberated by US troops, Dora Mittlebau, Buchenwald, Flossenburg, Dachau and Mauthausen - all occurred from April to early May 1945.

...his uncle spent six months in an attic

The uncle must have been channeling Ann Frank.

[arderkrag]

Bet it was “seared in his mind.”

“That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran,

Anytime ANY politician says "every single" anything, get ready to bend over and have your money taken away---or worse.

Yet another lib “False but accurate.”

Am suprised that Jewish organizations have not leveled a protest bigtime.

Unfrigginbelievable. Obama is trying to outclinton the Clintons.

This is part of the latest Democrat propaganda offensive.

The statistic they are now using is that "6,200 veterans commit suicide every year!" as part of a claim that this is due to poor medical care and lack of post-traumatic stress counseling.

The problem is, this statistic is not verified, and it does not reveal a suicide rate higher than the general population at large, adjusted for the overwhelming maleness of US veterans.

Probably lived in the attic of his parents house until he moved out. No big deal like like being a cellar dweller.

Getting the details right is important. As an example:

On January 12, 1950, United States Secretary of State Dean Acheson gave a speech declaring that America’s Pacific defense perimeter was made up of the Aleutians, Ryukyu, Japan, and the Philippines, implying that America might not fight over Korea. Acheson said Korea’s defense would be the responsibility of the United Nations.

My understanding is that when the Communists went to war in Korea, they thought the US would stay out of it -- because Acheson had pretty much come out and said that.

Saying stuff because it sounds good or because you think it will make a good impression is not such a good idea when you represent the executive branch. Obama is unfit for that role because he just says anything he wants.

Was Barry actually quoted or taped saying “Auschwitz”? It is important. Source(s)?

[popdonnelly]

It’s possible that Obama had an ancestor in the Red Army. Or maybe just a spiritual advisor.

[AnAmericanMother]

If an uncle spent six months in the attic, there must be some record of it.

Does Obama even HAVE an uncle? It must be another child of the grandparents that he threw under the bus --

. . . never mind that this soi-disant uncle must have been in the Red army . . . .

This is all very, very strange, and not the sort of confabulation one wishes to see in a president.

Let's make this simple: Obama lies if the truth hurts!!

[Puppage]

It’s like Bill Clinton whining about those Arkansas church burnings he witnessed as a child–church burnings which never actually happened

And, he was still elected twice.

[Ooh-Ah]

Maybe Obama will raise the reality of the Holocaust in his talks with Ahmadinejad! /s

[popdonnelly]

“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.”

It also demonstrates why it’s important not to appease Jew-hating dictators. Perhaps if the West hadn’t done that, there wouldn’t have been an Auschwitz. This is, of course, a lesson which Obama is incapable of drawing.

[econjack]

Hmmm...wonder why the MSM don't report this? You can bet your bottom dollar it would be front page news for Bush or McCain.

[ishabibble]

“Uncle”??? Barry’s Mom was an only child...
