“His campaign chalked it up to an innocent mistake.”
Just how many “innocent mistakes” does this guy get? If you ask me (and nobody did) the guy is scared to death of McCain’s service record and needs to demonstrate on some level that he too has/had “skin” in the game. It’s just too bad for him that he has to borrow someone else’s skin to accomplish this goal.
Obama needs to quit the Senate and the race for the White House and immediately go back to high school and take a remedial course in AMERICAN history...something he would obviously fail miserably. So far his mouth has gotten him where he is...his utter lack of scruples, honesty, and ethics should be a glaring warning bell to all who even consider this “candidate”. There is no THERE there!! He has taken the usual, lazy leftist tack...if you can’t make an honest point to win a debate or a vote, make **it up. In other words...LIE.
Personally, this uncle thing is a way of blinding us from the other "gaffe du jour" ...the one in his memorial day speech where he seems to not know the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day as he apparently is seeing dead people in the audience.
"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes....and I see many of them in the audience here today---our sense of patriotism is particularly strong".....excerpt Barak Obama, Las Cruces NM, May 26, 2008
And most websites now claiming the text of his speech have "whitewashed" the above bold text in excerpt from the text of said speech.
Buchenwald was liberated on 11 April 1945 by elements of the 83rd AND the 89th Division.The 89th liberated Ohrdruf (a Buchenwald subcamp)
He also left out the 4th and 6th Armoured Divisions..the 89th was one of several units and was NOT the only one there as he implies

neither was the navy, heh.
For a man so opposed to private gun ownership, Obama sure spends a lot of time blasting away at his foot.
And they’d get away with removing it from the transcript, if it was 30 years ago.
Meanwhile, the other more serious issue here was Obama using Nazi concentration camps, and the suffering and death of so many people there, to try to make a political point about spending more money on mental health benefits?
And why? Because to Obama, the real victim of Auschwitz wasn’t those who died there, but his uncle who had to see it.
C’mon Reporters: let's learn more about this guy: he was in the midwest, not Africa. Someone knows him. Did he go to school on the GI Bill, marry, have kids, etc., etc. etc.
Only leftists depend upon things like the phonetic spelling of potato for "issues."
The issue, for example, is Obama's feeeeeeeeeelings about Americans; to wit, that working class Americans are ne'er-do-well bigoted dolts clinging to Bibles and guns and Americans as a whole are the worlds odious orphans running wild consuming orders of magnitude more resources than the rest of the world combined. Americans have to be changed to make America and the world great, says Obama. Now that's an issue!
I would think that most corporations would have trouble hiring this guy based solely on his lack of an experienced work record.
From what I hear coming out of Obama mouth, leads me to believe that he is a true ultimate product of diversity gone wild.
Exactly!!!
Why would Obama bring up Hitler and the Holocaust in the first place? It only highlights his irrational and unrealistic view of anti-Semitic dictators.
Sooooo....Obama’s great uncle was in the NAVY??? Not in the ARMY??
The suprise is that Jewish organizations have not taken Obama to task. Plus I am suprised that Obama does not take the advice of Sen. McCain and make a visit to Iraq and see the vast improvements since the “surge”.
What suprises me is that there has been no complaints coming from the Jewish community. Hmmmmmmmmm.
Like any good dim liberal, he never lets the truth or the facts stand in his way.
