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.

I was always told that we were direct descendants of Stephen F. Austin. Then I studied Texas history and discovered that Austin had no direct descendants. So much for Austin being a family name.nah.... that's only for guys with the FIRST name of Austin...hahahahahahaha. Seems to be a popular name where I live.

RUSH:...Here's a final sound bite from President Bush.
THE PRESIDENT: On this Memorial Day, I stand before you as the commander-in-chief and try to tell you how proud I am of the sacrifice and service of the men and women who wear our uniform. They're an awesome bunch of people, and the United States is blessed to have such citizens. I am humbled by those who have made the ultimate sacrifice that allow our free civilization to endure and flourish. It only remains for us, the heirs of their legacy, to have the courage and the character to follow their lead and to preserve America as the greatest nation on earth and the last, best hope for mankind. May God bless you, and may God bless America.
RUSH: Again, that's the stupid idiot George Bush who can't speak, on Memorial Day. This was Barack Obama in Las Cruces, New Mexico, yesterday.
OBAMA: On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in...in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.

I think his uncle was Charles e Payne not Charles W Payne. Charles E Payne was from Augusta Kansas where Obamas grandmother was and he did serve in army. I checked kansas wwII vets website last night on this issue. I have to do more checking on Paynes middle name. If it was w then obama is lying, but i think it is E, that makes more sense to me.

Since so many of Hussein’s supporters think he can walk on water I see no reason his uncle couldn’t march on water. It’s obviously in the genes.

Even to many Democrats, it’s now becoming clear that the Nutroots has “Lamont’d” the Democrat Party...
They will “Win” against the Party, then lose MASSIVELY in November. Then, we will get to hear the “Swiftboating!!” and “STOLEN ELECTION!!” excuses, all over again, despite the MASSIVE Democrat Voting frauds.

Great sleuthing on your part. Very clever, those Germans, naming their floating concentration camp after a forest. but they mis-underestimated Obamas uncle or whatever.

I assume it's possible the records are wrong, or he changed branches.Barack's befuddled.
On the one hand |
On the other hand |
In his speech he says he "had" an uncle. Implying he is dead. |
Obama's handlers say his great-uncle is still alive and doesn't want to be bothered by the press. |
Barack's campaign says they can't name the great uncle, since he doesn't want to be bothered by the press |
Barack's campaign says his uncle is Charley Payne |
Barack says returning servicemen did not get psychiatric care |
John Huston made a film Let There Be Light which showed the care given to soldiers who showed signs of disturbance |
BTW, there is a Charles W. Payne, whose
burial* record shows he served in the Navy. No mention there of (a switch to) army service.

It is owed to the people he’s claiming to represent (”I had an uncle who WAS THERE”).

Barack H. Obama IS a baby boomer. He’s the son of a Communist. Nut didn’t fall far from the tree.

That is what made it believable. My grandfather born in Texas in 1875, my father born in Texas in 1911 and now my grandson all have the first name of Austin. Stephen F. Austin never married and had no known children but what if..............

The (great) Uncle is still alive. Why doesn’t someone interview him?

BO is an Uncle Remus himself. His imaginary uncle is something of a tar-baby, too (in the original, "inextricable problem" sense of the term).

The same reason his grandparents are off limits. Even Michelle’s statements are not “fair” for those questioning the Obama campaign.

So, when his uncle got back from WWII he went right up to his attic. My dad told me,when he returned from WWII he went right to the local beer joint in his hometown of Albany,N.Y. He said he stayed there for three days. He was just a typical white person. My father resumed his skirt-chasing.
