Barrack Obama's relative, first identified as an uncle, then a nephew, and now a 'great' uncle, was at Auschwitz and helped liberate this awful Nazi Concentration Camp; this all according to the lead Presidential hopeful of the Democratic Party. Therefore, Barrack's uncle was with the first US troops that liberated a Nazi Concentration camp according to Obama. Problem? Well his 'great' uncle would have had to be a member of the advanced Spetznaz 'Shock Troop Squadron' in the lead elements of the First Army of the Ukrainian Front, under the command of Marshal Koniev in order for this story to even be partially true.
More importantly, the first US Unit to liberate a concentration camp were members of the '2nd Cavalry Group, Mechanized' in front of Patton's Third Army. On 4/4/1945 they found the Ohrdruf Concentration Camp outside of Gotha and they called their commander General Patton to come see for himself. Patton vomited on the scene and called General Eisenhower who personally toured the camp and also was sickened by the sights.
And how would I know that? My late uncle was there and I don't recall him talking too much about it. I know he didn't spend 6 months hiding in an attic when he got home. He was too busy buying a new 1946 Chevy and getting married.
Like 'global warming' the Democrats believe that truth is something they can manufacture out of the dim recesses of their little used or educated brains. SHAME ON YOU OBAMA, you ought to be careful you are starting to lie like Hillary and Governor Christine Gargoyle.
If you want to take him on, take him on on his veterans proposals, not whether he got the "Crazy Uncle Fred" story right. Attacking that just gets Barry pity points with the bleeding hearts.

I hear that rock star stuff, still. My 7th grader went from a Republican to an Obama fan in one month.
I just hope not. At least with my way of dealing with it, I feel confident on my persuasive abilities which aren't stellar in the ways of politics. Most people don't care about the details.
