If you look at the article, the statement from Obamma’s spokesperson is in quotes. The part about Charlie Payne is from the reporter. It could be just another lazy reporter who did not do his research.

"Obama’s maternal grandmother’s brother, Charlie Payne, served with the 89th Infantry Division that liberated Ohrdruf, a subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp"

Depends on the meaning of "served with". < /s >

“Aides said Tuesday that his grandmother’s brother, Charlie Payne, helped liberate a Buchenwald sub-camp in April 1945 as part of the 89th Infantry Division.”

That pic is really going to piss off the creationists. You can just see the little legs that grew out of the boat so it could attack Auschwitz.

Have you heard about the Old Negro Space Program?

That is one of the funniest things I have ever seen!

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Bingo!! That’s a good one. The lazy reporter in the previous article did not state in his article that he got that information from Obama’s aides. Well, I’m really going to be waiting to hear his “excuse”. I think I already know it. Well, uncle Chuck always told us this story, I assumed it was true....

[Marysecretary]

I think it was a great uncle.

Don't sweat it.

Submarines are evidence of Intelligent Design.

OR mention his middle name???

[MtnClimber]

Here is a link that covers both comments. Note that in the earlier story of his grandfather he states that his grandfather served under Patton and “heard stories of fellow soltiers”, but evidently did not know that the Soviets were in Poland.

still waiting for the headlines that Murtha misspoke.

[Marysecretary]

I’ve been checking genealogy records for my family and am amazed at all the misspellings, wrong dates for grandparents births, etc. Records are not always accurate, and it’s very frustrating!

Here are a couple of links. Here is one listing BHO family tree.

Post 36 of this thread links all of the references including the Chicago Suntimes of the Obama family tree. The only Charles Payne shown in the family tree is "Charles W. Payne". These are two independent sources. The Kansas link shows W. Payne was in the navy.

“Senator Obama’s family is proud of the service of his grandfather and uncles in World War II - especially the fact that his great uncle was a part of liberating one of the concentration camps at Buchenwald,”

ALL Americans who serve in WWII liberated the camps. They crushed Nazi Germany. They battled the Fascists in Italy. And they ended Japanese imperialism.

It was a team effort. Not the work of one man or one troop.

Maybe it was grandpa.

I find that a lot with democrats. They can’t be so stupid as to not realize that almost everything they’ve said is recorded SOMEWHERE and that Sean Hannity will dig it out (LOL).

[weegee]

No. He said Granpa signed up immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack. That is 6-months later. < /s >

Or maybe Obama lied again. It’s been known to happen.
