Wow! No help from the 89th Unofficial Website. I guess it was our mistake for believing the websites claim to welcome new information and inquiries.

Over on talkleft.com a guy found a Payne, Charlie L from Kansas who served in the Army. Hard to tell if it's Obama's or not

"Remembering my military days - and the troubles we had with records - I think there’s a reasonable possibility Obama is right about his great uncle serving in the Army."

I'm not denying that the military makes record mistakes. They do. However, on your enlistment papers and your DD-214 I don't think they usually get the branch of service wrong!! That's all it would take to find out. Get one of those.

Apparently you missed this little part of my original post:

... infantry on the other hand I don’t know.

In the navy,
You’re not just stuck on the seas
In the navy,
You could serve where you please
In the navy,
Where my uncle made a stand
In the navy, in the navy,
He could see they needed a hand
In the navy,
So he set foot on the Fatherland
In the navy,
To liberate his fellow man
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy...

The saga continues of Obama’s soldier [sailor?] uncle [great uncle?] who ended the Holocaust ping.

[pissant]

Siled up the Rhine.

[elhombrelibre]

You probably met “sailed” up the Rhine, I bet. I’m near it. I’ll go see if there is anyone there who remember’s his visit.

[pissant]

and you probably ‘met’ meant. ;o)

I've been traveling around some, and it's scary how many seemingly intelligent people seem to be mesmerized by Obama.

[pissant]

The key word there is “seemingly”

Is this the same Obama uncle who, according to Obama, liberated the Jews at Auschwitz?

Liberating the Jews at Auschwitz must have been very difficult for him to do since Auschwitz was liberated by the Russian army in January of 1945.

I guess I should have read a few comments before posting. Apparently I’m not the only one who heard Obama’s tall tale about his uncle liberating Auschwitz.

He’s still alive. I know Barry doesn’t trot out his white relatives, but someone could ask him. About his experience, and his mental breakdown being presented as the basis for new legislation. Even if it’s all true, I feel sorry for the guy. And if it’s not, you know who Obama is going to blame it on.

U.S. Veterans Gravesites, ca.1775-2006 about Charles W Payne

Interesting, other stories indicate he's living.

What was even the point of the anecdote?

He is desperate for the Jweish vote especially in Florida.
