And maybe somebody had an axe to grind. Who knows?
However, it seems Charlie knows his nephew well, and that he considers him an opportunist, not a statesman. Family always knows best.
Which is why Obama saw to it that his grandmother never spoke about the whereabouts of Obama's birth in a way that could be pinpointed. There is a huge family cover-up of that child's birth and for some reason the family was embarassed by it long ago and never could come clean with the truth because of their own personal reasons. Obama probably didn't know the story until he was an adult, and so he has wanted to perpetuate this falsehood himself. Lies, lies, and more lies.
The Charlie Payne that was a liberator was not kin to Obama. He had a different middle initial in his name.
