Still not convinced? Here's one more example. In West Virginia a few weeks ago, Obama said his grandfather enlisted the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, which was December, 1941. [Charleston Gazette (West Virginia) April 8, 2008, Tuesday, available on Lexis.com]
"My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton's army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain.
Here is the WWII Kansas Veterans Index. His grandfather, Stanley A. Dunham, enlisted in the Army on June 18 1942, six months after Pearl Harbor. [Hat tip Baldilocks.)

The hits keep coming. I hope someone is cataloging these for future use.
In the cosmic scale of time six months is immediately. Like your refund will be immediately sent out. And when I found the money I immediately returned it.
Besides time worked slower back then.
Interesting he mentioned Auschwitz again...
Nicely done. I hope someone in the RNC is keeping a list of these.
Obama was probably talking about that other Pearl Harbor that got bombed - somewhere. Give him enough time and he will think up a good explanation.
Can this clown be any more of a drama queen? He changes/embellishes/makes up all these stories for effect, and thinks Americans are too dumb to fact check him. Think again, Barry, sweetie!
“Interesting he mentioned Auschwitz again..”
Obambi’s trying to win over the Jewish vote who are right to be skeptical of his commitment Israel.
I don’t think having his family finding death camps is a good way to do it though.
“Obama was probably talking about that other Pearl Harbor that got bombed - somewhere. “
Obambi thinks Pearl Harbor got bombed just after Hawaii became the 57th state.
It appears Scott McLellan’s lies pushed Obama’s lies off the radar screen.
So his grandfather was in the Soviet Red Army? Otherwise, how would he have heard such stories? Those concentration camps were liberated by the Soviets. Keep digging, Barry!
Even worse, I don’t think the lesson he seemed to learn from it is reassuring either. He shows no interest in preventing future death camps, he just wants to make sure those who clean up said death camps get government mental care when they get back. With the obamination that care will probably consist of telling the distraught soldier how the jews “deserved” to be driven into the sea, so don’t feel so bad about seeing their dead bodies.
We should cut him some Slick!
The only thing “real” I can see about the Obamanation is that he appears to be a real loser
>>Obama was probably talking about that other Pearl Harbor that got bombed -
yEAH, YOU KNOW THE ONE THE gERMANS BOMBED.
Good post.
Thanks
