If you notice the article doesn't say anything about Obama saying his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz, just the reporter mentioning this is why he was in the attic. Also, This place has the video of it going down and says:

No mention of Auschwitz in this video. Obama didn't talk about his uncle at all. So where did the reporter come up with that entire passage?
Apparently he mentioned something on a side talk after the speech. His words were "one of the first U.S. troops into Auschwitz".. How does that imply that his uncle liberated Auschwitz? I think some reporter made a false association.. we should all take a deep breath and look at the exact words.

No we shouldn't! The MSM ran with everything Hillary and McCain said and twisted it so they should hold Obama to the same standard, even if he just misspoke.

“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,” he said.

“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,”
Can't listen to the video now, but this link claims to have it. If he didn't say it, obviously Fox has it very, very wrong.
