Obama's World War II history (Obama responds...)

Earlier, the Republican National Committee pounced on Obama's improbable statement that an uncle had served in the unit that liberated Auschwitz.

In fact, campaign spokesman Bill Burton says, his great uncle was a member of the 89th Infantry Division that liberated the Ohrduf camp, part of Buchenwald and, according to the Holocaust Museum, the first concentration camp liberated by U.S. troops.

The soldier in question, Burton said, is Obama's grandmother's brother, who's still alive.

UPDATE: "Senator Obama’s family is proud of the service of his grandfather and uncles in World War II – especially the fact that his great uncle was a part of liberating one of the concentration camps at Buchenwald. Yesterday he mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald in telling of his personal experience of a soldier in his family who served heroically," Burton says.

Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas on Memorial Day, 2008:

"As we landed at the local airport today, I had to run from the plane ducking Bosnian sniper bullets until I got into my 50' stretch bullet proof SUV. While running and ducking sniper bullets, I remembered my crazy uncle in the attic, who might have served in WWII."

Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas will not be known as Honest Abe.

Damn Pajama Media and Internet. I can’t lie anymore!

“Still waiting to hear if the candidate himself registered for Selective Service as he was required to do (being a male born after 12/31/59) Well?”

Darn good point! I know you are not eligible for government jobs or government loans if don’t register. How about hold elective office?

Another day, another LIE from Obama. The 89th Infantry Division was RECON UNIT who turned over to the 3rd Battalion, 355th Infantry less than three (3) hours after holding Buchenwald .

Obama is such a liar and a phony.

The 89th also did not land in France until January of 1945. That is a long time between Pearl Harbor and deployment. Why lie about this? His “uncle” would of had a very proud military service without the Obama “embellishments”.
