Obama's Uncle served in the..NAVY!?! (Whoops)
Riehl World View ^ | May 28 2008 | Dan Riehl

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.

“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.”

Thats because Clinton figured it was her turn and didn’t need to do anything. B. Hussein Obama is the choice of people who consider Hillary too moderate. He’s easily controlled and will push any big govt agenda they can think of.

$878 BILLION in additional aid to Africa is just his first idea.

“I’m sure I’m forgetting some lies. Suffice it to say that he makes Algore look almost honest by comparison.”

most likely but documenting every word he’s said in the last 6 years would be time consuming.

"Mark my words, before this is all over, it will be a friend of the family (to remain nameless to protect his privacy) who they all considered to be an uncle"

Hmm, and a mentally disturbed uncle that that...I know! It was Jeremiah Wright!

I wonder if his mother told him that the man coming by occasionally was his uncle. Then the uncle had to hide in the attic then another uncle came by to “visit”.

I just listened to the speech again, and noticed that BHO clearly uses the word “had”. Thus his uncle is dead.
Isn't Uncle Charlie supposed to be alive? Was his story fictitious and to cover their tracks they are now superimposing Charlie?

Match Game!

Match the phrase to the Senator:
A) My uncle (who was in the Navy) serving under Patton helped liberate Auschwitz
B) Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??

Senator #1:

Senator #2:

Look for Obama to try to ban the Internet if he gets elected, or at least to censor everything that can be viewed. The truth is way too inconvenient for the left.

Oh, and BTW, nice job New York Times, et al., for digging out the truth again before some guy probably sitting in his basement beat you to it.

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, in the Army or maybe the Navy."

Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas will not be known as Honest Abe. Instead he will be known as: Dishonest Ibrahim Lincoln

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

Perhaps Bill Clinton was right about “fairy tale”. Humpty Hillary has her own.

Wait until he encounters 10,000 Ron Paulians and talk show hosts on daytime television saying things like “steel doesn’t melt”.

This is just calling him out on falsehoods he tells. Wait until he encounters those who repeat mantras like “selected not elected” and “Barack KNEW!”.

It is a tough job he’s applying for. He can’t handle it. Clearly he can’t handle it.

In 2004 Kerry's "heroic" military service was contrasted against Bush's possible AWOL activity...

FR set that one straight. ;)
