What Obama's campaign released via first link above states he served in the Infantry. I assume it's possible the records are wrong, or he changed branches. But I'm unaware of that as a standard practice. Perhaps it happened during WWII for manpower reasons? Otherwise, Obama's Great Uncle would seem to have done most of his marching and liberating while at sea.

Has anyone pointed out the obvious, like the Red Army “liberated” Poland?
And then turned around and sent the Survivors to same, but different, camps?
This is a very common lie.

Actually, his uncle probably helped liberate a WaldenBooks. That’s where the confusion came in.

In forty years of watching presidential campaigns and candidates I have never seen any serious candidate as unprepared and ill equipped as Clintoon and the haloed one.

Yes, but as someone else pointed out, Charles E. Payne happens to be from the same small Kansas town that his Grandmother is from. So it makes more sense that the Obama campaign screwed up even his great uncles middle initial.
I’ll give them that. But so far, that only shows he was in the Army. And also pointed out, the 89th ID did not liberate Buchenwald either, but Ordruff, and that was only a small unit of the 89th. So there is still plenty to research and hit Obama with.

He must not be given a pass on this. He has Stolen Valor. In a blatant bid for Jewish votes - in addition, he has spent his entire adult life distancing himself from his white ancestry...even to the point of throwing his white gramma who gave him the best schooling and raised him after both parents deserted, under the bus... now reaches far back in his white line for a 'hero' in the military. Only, oops, gets it all wrong.
Was "Uncle" also dodging snipers bullets as he sailed into the wrong camp on a Navy ship?
But he'll get a pass on this, as for the media.
However, since he has brought up the subject of his ancestry - it's now fair game to explore the who's and whats in his Islamic ancestral relatives in Kenya - most especially since he has so enthusiastically sought out his African heritage and family - and embraced them while ignoring, heretofore, his white roots.

Hillary ~ Please, please, please hold a presser and call Obama on his lack of integrity.
That would quite possibly be the most entertaining thing I could imagine.

If his uncle was like his dad the only thing he liberated in Germany was a fraulein from her panties.

Here's a pic of the submarine Barry's uncle was on, climbing the rocks during the invasion of Germany. Eventually this submarine made it all the way to Auschwitz, where then Barry's uncle jumped out and helped free the imprisoned Jews.
VISUAL PROOF OF THE STORY, BAYBEE!

Putting Buchenwald in the North Sea helps explain some, but it doesn’t negate the fact that Aushwitz was freed by the Red Army and not the U.S. Navy. Unless Poland is one of the 57 states ....

That is because you are behind on the story. Obama corrected his first lie about Aushwitz by explaining he meant Buchenwald. You see Obama gets about three chances to correct a lie before the media starts to call him on it. An LA Times story concluded that it is the GOP who should actually be the one's who are ashamed for trying to politicize this.

Put this together alongside:
- Obama's lie about never hearing Wright make incendiary, anti-Semitic or anti-American remarks
- Obama's lie about how if he HAD heard such things he would leave that church.
- Obama's lie about his grandmother being a typical white woman who admitted to being afraid of black MEN in the street, when he wrote in HID BOOK that she had been frightened of a black MAN, who was menacing her in the street.
- Obama's lie about not having a relationship with Rezko.
- Obama's repeated lie about suddenly loving his country.
- Obama's occasional lies about writing legislation that, in fact, he had nothing to do with...
I'm sure I'm forgetting some lies. Suffice it to say that he makes Algore look almost honest by comparison.
