Obama Flubs Concentration Camp Claim

This still isnt as bad as when mccain mixed up who they were fighting in the war.

Said Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant: “At times it appears that Barack Obama inaccurately recalls his own history and American history, so it’s important that we point to the facts. In this case, we’re happy to see that he took the time to set the record straight.”
Unlike G W Bush who doesn’t even bother to set his own military record straight

HEY JILL, HE DIDNT LIE HE “MISSPOKE”, LIKE OTHERS HAVE DONE.

AMAZING HOW THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS WILLING TO NOMINATE A MAN FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES
WHOSE FATHER WAS NOT AN AMERICAN, NEVER BECAME AN AMERICAN, AND UNCONDITIONALLY REJECTED AMERICA AFTER IMPREGNATING A NAIVE AMERICAN WOMAN WHO WAS OBAMA’S MOTHER!!!!
JUST THINK OF THIS AND WONDER WHAT THESE PEOPLE REALLY DO FOR THIS NATION.

This is sort of like the Bosnia flap, eh? Remeber how long the media stayed on that? Perhaps this should be on your front page… Ha!

*yawn*
how about that McCain-Bush fundraiser?

Yeah! Obama has had someone else in the military in his family. How about him??? That should really be a prereq. to being POTUS. Amend the Constitution NOW!
JPT, I THINK YOU ARE A CLINTON LOVER, WHAT ABOUT BILL’S NON-MILITARY SERVICE. HE AND HILLARY ESCAPED TO ENGLAND TO AVOID THE DRAFT, AND FOR THE RECORD OBAMA WAS TOO YOUNG FOR VIETNAM AND TOO OLD FOR IRAQ.

The RNC would tag us all with ID papers and other idendfication, tell us what to read, promote state religion and tell us what we can do with our bodies if terminally ill and with reproductive choices.
Bush, in telling us, that we need to give him greater powers without oversight from the other branches of government are eerily similiar to what Hitler asked the German parliment to grant him.

Enhancing those boring campaign-speaches can be difficult. Hillary went to Bosnia in 1992. The area had sniper activities, which was why the helicopter she was in flew sic-sac before landing and the secret service prepared for the worst. However, the tension Hillary may have felt do not reflect what she said; making it sound like they had to duck and run due to sniper fire. TV-footage made her embellishments seem like lies, but are they really?
I am sure that when Obama embellish the story of the uncle he doesn’t know, he isn’t really lying, or? Obama supports our troops, even though he never served himself. And it is okey for judes to vote for Obama. Isn’t that what he is saying?
And the point of the sniper story is that in 1992 Hillary Clinton was in Bosnia, she participated in the peace talks in Northern Irland and spoke of women rights in China. Where was Obama in 1992? That my friends, is what experience looks like.
What goes around, comes around, is what I say.

When you have no record to talk about, you have to talk about all the relatives you never knew.

Dan Qayle was technically correct in Potatoe.
Bho is no Potato.

Is this suppose to be a big deal?
McCain gets Shia and Sunni mixed up ALL THE TIME.
At least the story is true but the family lore was the wrong concentration camp. It has been correctly.
Big deal.

Obama-camp naming Hillary untruthful and a liar for months are defending fevorishly their own candidates mispeak.
I say no more favors: Obama is a liar!

One other thing-why is it Obama has to tout other people’s successes…does he not have any of his own????? Guess not! Wow, what a president to be proud of!!!

Hillary could have jumped all over this, just like his campaign did with the RFK gaffe…but she didn’t…she’s tired of OBAMA’s games!

….As far as looking for a “story” where there is none, well that’s just the tabloid media for you. Type it and throw it out there, check for facts later….
Isn’t that pretty much what Obama did in his speech?

You Bho followers always have some excuses. What has the Obama lie got to do with HRC?
HRC went to a war zone; whether or not there is sniper fire, how many presidential wives or first ladies have gone to a war zone? Where was Obama? Talking about war zone, Obama was so afraid of his life, he had not gone to Iraq to gain some understanding for 2 years. At least this is a subject he so preaching to have it solved in 16 months. If he had no first hand knowledge, how is he to solve a problem, by his words?
Now, Bho wants us to trust his words. Do we trust his words anymore?
If you have no substance, you will eventually be exposed. It is the small, daily exposures, or mistakes, or misspoken words, or misjudgments that show his true colors, which is blank inside.

John mccain does not know who we are fighting in a present war yet we are stuck on something obama had gotten mixed up on a pass war?

Why should Obama bother to get the facts right?
His fanatics will believe anything that comes out of his mouth, and pro-Obama media won’t report it.
His daily gaffes show objective Americans how weak and unqualified Obama is to lead this country.

And yes, Obama is the biggest fraud of them all. If America doesn’t wisen up we will be going from one moron to another.

Hey Concerned Citizen, you’ll need us in November.

Roger King -
You know what, you might be right. Isn’t it true that BHO’s mother’s mother side from Russia? Someone got to check it, Bho might be right after all. NOT!

All I hear is Obama going after McCain. Why are Obama and/or his surrogates always on the attack. I thought he was going to be a different kind of politician. I think he is more negative than most.

At least his family did DO something to help people-Probably half of you complaining about Obama don’t know anything about your family tree past your grandfather. So get a life and find out the NAME OF YOUR GREAT UNCLE.

Sylvia in Oslo
Do you live in opposite world? Obama has run the best and cleanest campaign of any of the candidates. Hillary Clinton is by far the biggest liar and dirty politician in this campaign.

BK I thought you were in prison!

Obama is one big gaffe machine.

I think this story was let out by the RNC to get us distracted about the bush/mccain meeting behind closed doors.

First he lies about Selma & his parents, then he lied about Kennedy bringing his dad to America and now he’s lying about this.
Obama is ….a liar.

A mistake about which concentration camp your uncle helped to liberate is not nearly as bad as lying about YOURSELF being under sniper fire or confusing which country is harboring terrorists in this present day.

Why don’t the petty republicans set the history straight on the economy, high gas prices, healthcare etc…This country has real issues and just like clock work they only want to distract and not discuss the issues they have failed so horribly on.

Funny that in 2002 when Obama was making a speech about Aushwitz, he never mentioned any of this!
Bwhahahahahaha….

It’s too bad it seems the majority of Americans are stupid. That’s why we can barely ever elect anyone President who is worthy of the office.
Obama 08

Some of the people responding have no idea what they are talking about. Obama DOESN”T HAVE AN UNCLE! HIS MOTHER WAS AN ONLY CHILD!

Gee, the neo-cons are up in arms about Obama making a mistake, its not like the Bush adminstration ever lied to us about anything, what a joke they are! They are so full of hate, they can’t even see straight.

@Leche-
It’s common knowledge that the Soviets liberated Aushwitz.

At least he did not repeat it several times, and then admitted that he misspoke (Clinton). And even that can be forgiven, compared to those that tell lies, never admit to their lies, and claim both legislative and executive priviledge at the same time to avoid having to answer to the American Public at all (Cheney). And then there are those who just flat out lie, and claim media bias, even when the story is true — like Bush rejecting the GI Bill.

Topher,
They had to move the Bush-McCain fundraiser because they couldn’t sell any tickets and anti-war protesters were at the original spot. I guess Bush found out today that it isn’t just the public that he’s lost cred with. Just like Hillary, he’s lost his big-money spenders, too. The gig is up and the people are gonna take this thing back! Oh yeah!
Obama ’08!

Obama sells his father’s dreams to Americans; he preaches them.
The action of his father is to abandon a family that he created. Whatever dreams his father had are not the kind of values that are consistent with the value of a nuclear family.
It happens that such a nucleus constitutes the basic element of a country, which is reflected by its values and its behaviors in the world.
If BHO sells his father’s dreams, whose sole action and influence on BHO is desertion, it calls into question of his motives to tell these dreams (or shall we say, lies). This, however, does provide some insights into why Obama takes no responsibilities on what he does or says.

With all the gaffes (and this latest lie) this week, there is no way the Obama camp (or the media) can legitimately pounce on McCain for any mistakes blaming it on old age. We got lots of gaffe “ammo” now against Obama proving he’s not the sharpest pencil in the drawer.
Obama is toast..

Saying Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald is not a lie. It’s a mistake but not a lie. His uncle served with honor and liberated a concentration camp. Who cares if Obama said the wrong one 60 years after it happened? At least his mistake didn’t result in over 4,000 American deaths and a failing economy. Also, his mistake won’t lead us into a conflict with Iran. Calm down right wingers. Talk about issues. It seems as though you are afraid of talking about issues because then you will finally be speechless.

Sylvia from Oslo
The kitchen sink term actually came from the Clinton campaign.

Lou,
Bho is THE political Jesus. The day has come.. You got to pass the words…

So he mixed up the camps! Whats the big deal? Its a story of his family’s history and by telling my own children of their family heritage I have gotten a few places incorrect at times as well, and had THEM remind me of what it actually was. The point is that we all can “mis” word things, and in his case the story was very accurate, just a miswording of the exact camp. Which is easy enough to do for any of us.

And let us not forget that Obama thinks there are 57 states and that Kentucky borders Arkansas but NOT Illinois!!
LOLOLOL.
Barack “Gaffe-O’Matic” Obama!!
I think someone is even starting a website of his gaffes!!!!!

Whatever!! His uncle and gramps still liberated a concentration camp! Who cares if he said the wrong name, the fact itself is still true. How many of you have said the wrong name of something before??? Get real

I agree it was just a blunder on Obama’s part and, as a Clinton supporter, I think he mispoke and that should be the end of it. However, last week when Clinton mentioned RFK and the fact that RFK’s campaign was going thru June of 1968, many Obama supporters basically said she was planning to assissinate Obama. Lopsided, just like Richardson.

No wonder he wants the race over soon so he can take a long rest.

My grandfather also was an infantryman in Germany who was part of a unit that liberated a concentration camp. He wrote a letter back to his folks about it. Of course he didn’t know what it was at the time. Anyway, he never talked about it, and he didn’t go up in the attic. Instead, when he got home he went right to work being a devoted husband and father. My grandfather is a great man. He is not a politician.

who is losing his bearing?
Don’t blame anybody else for mispoken.

Are you kidding me? We are arguing over hime calling his great uncle and uncle. I call all of my great aunts and uncle….Aunt Gloria, Uncle Floyd, etc….wow……

Ya just gotta be astounded at these republican operatives on these blogs. Obama is a fraud because he said the wrong concentration camp name in an otherwise accurate story?
Sorry republicans that dog won’t hunt. The only fraud is calling Obama a fraud on this one.

Man, Lou is ripping Obama to shreds now! He’s on fire tonite because Obama misspoke about something Lou said about illegal aliens. Obama needs a rest! All three analyst said Obama owes Lou an apology, or even better, come on the show and debate Lou….Obama would lose. Lou said he has no use for Obama and that he is not part of Obama’s adoring media……Lou states the facts about Obama that the media doesn’t want to hear.

The more that man speaks, the more pathetic he becomes.
Even more pathetic is the excuse machine alive and well on here working themselves up in a lather defending their great divider. Their racist. Their deceiver.
The greatest theft of our time. Obama winning anything based on his experience and qualifications.

Isn’t time we quite listening to the 21% that just keep getting wrong.

Ok, I’m a Clinton supporter, Obama just misspoke…..it’s easy to do, just like Hillary misspoke. Both candidates are very tired right now, but I guess thats no excuse, right? Now, what Obama did to Lou Dobbs, was an outright lie. Thats different. Lets get back to the issues.

Obama wrote a book called, “Dreams of My Father”.
However, Obama’s father was a Marxist, who wrote an article called, “Problems of Our Socialism.”
If you want to really know how Obama feels about his white ancestrys, read what Obama has to say about his bi-racial ancestry:
From Dreams of My Father: “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.”
From Dreams of My Father: “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”
From Dreams of My Father: “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”
From Dreams of My Father: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”
From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Let’s see Obama supporters try to spin what Obama called his “animosity” against the white race.

Do NOT write in Clinton in the General unless you are sure that your state allows this.
Some states will either discount the vote or give it to the Democratic nominee

Well, well, Free Ride called to task. This must hurt his ego to no end. Be careful people. We have a grand lady, Hillary by name, who ought to be the first Woman President of the United States of America. Best ticket: Hillary and Michael Bloomberg and it does not matter who heads up this ticket. Unbeatable.

So!!!!!!! His great uncle was among the troops at another concentration camp. A concentration camp at one site was pretty much the same at another. Leave it to republicans who will do their best to find something to jump on. Really pitiful and sad.

And when Hilary spoke about Bobby Kennedy’s assasination, she wasn’t implying anything about Obama either, but did you let HER off the hook. H-ll no you didn’t. So go ahead EXPLAIN IT TO ME!

James says:
Do NOT write in Clinton in the General unless you are sure that your state allows this.

Very good point! It’s important that we know the states rules. If we write in her name and it goes to the Democratic Party, then it helps Obama. If this is true, vote Independent or McCain…anything to keep Obama out of the White House.

LOL Rev Wright!

If this arrogant, unqualified jerk wins the nomination, it will be gaffe after gaffe until McCain wins by a landslide.
He has alienated 17+ million democrats with his nasty campaign and scary personal life.
If he’s on the ticket, we’re down for McCain.

Right on Pat and Jane.

The real Obama is emerging and it is not what the media told us he was. Obama cannot think on his feet and this will come out during the election process when the media cannot cover it up. Obama should not have made it past the Iowa Caucus but he is media produced and got away with his chicanery until now.

Good point. I plan on getting the book and reading it. It won’t change my mind, however, I’m a Hillary supporter to the core. I will be reading it to see how much danger America is in if Obama gets into the White House. However, thanks for your recommendations. I actually voted for Obama in the Texas primary, but then, all hell broke loose with Reverend Wright and Obama played the “race” card. I will never forgive him for that. I feel he betrayed Dr. King, a man of superior intelligence and passion for uniting America. I feel Obama ripped to pieces everything that Dr. King stood for. Sorry, my vote goes to Hillary, if not her, then the Independent candidate or McCain, but NEVER for Obama.

Obviously A doesn’t realize that Obama’s Great Uncle was from his Mom’s side of the family. He would have been white not black.

Instead of supporting Obama, all you Obama lovers should not vote for him to teach him a lesson.
He is an opportunist, who has now ruined any chance the Democrats had of winning this election.
Opportunists only care about themselves. Obama’s ego is so big that he’s willing to put our chances of winning this election in jeopardy.
Wake up! You are all bein manipulated.

Senator Obama: Thank you for the service your family provided to help liberate the Jews from a concentration camp in Buchenwald….
May the Lord continue to bless you and your family as you now serve this nation in becoming president…..Thanks again….

Obama said: “I have always been against the Iraq war” – LIAR, you ere not in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time, unlike Kucinich , who seems to be out gutting youObama. You also seem to be stepping back from your departure date re: Iraq…AGAIN!!!
Obama said: ” I don’t have LObbysists” LIAR, you have over 47 lobbyists and counting!!

Hey, this was an innocent mistake??!!!
Obama has been telling this lie for at least 6 YEARS.
He was telling similar stories about his grandfather back in 2002, in his now-famous Iraq speech, which I’d never previously read:
“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.”

To Concerned Cititzen:
Lets see, myself and many millions of Americans heard Obama call his grandmother a “typical” white person. Thats a racist remark, I don’t care HOW you try to spin it! It seems Obama supporters have so much arrogance and are opportunist just like he is. I’m not going to call you a name, as you did me, I refuse to sink to the depths where you are. Obama DID play the race card by referring to white people as “typical”. Face the facts! BTW, you have very good insight on many issues and I enjoy reading your posts….don’t let your emotions get the best of you…..stay focused and you might win others to support your candidate, otherwise,you will be pushing them to McCain, Clinton, or whoever, but away from Obama.

Why is that as an American, I believe in personal responsibility and that it is not the role of government to support the people and that the people of this country have a responsibility to make something of themselves.
For nearly 200 years we operated like this, with either Obama and Clinton, we will get a welfare state that will put Johnson’s administration to shame.
My great grandfather worked in the coal mines of PA to support his family and took the money he earned to go to college get a degree and then get a job with the railroad. Why do we have to have the government hold our hands at every step of the way.

What an idiot! A gaffe a day keeps the truth away. God save us!

He is a liar and to dig up a great uncle after his first spin was incorrect to pander for votes on a issue that so many would love to forget is sickening.
Talk about saying anything to win, sure seems to fit Obama but of course that will not be said, by why did he throw that Holocaust line in there, some of his followers are too young to even know anything about that time.
This is the most disgusting thing any candidate could of done, and its even worse to see that the MSM will not call him out on this, but rather buy into this nonsense of a great uncle, we have really gotten low as a people.

As a jewish American I am deeply offended that Sen. Obama would use such a lie to pander to Jewish voters. We wont be fooled Sen. Obama!

Neta…his great uncle is still alive?
Well then, coming soon to a speech near you…Obama’s great uncle…
More political pandering…gotta get all of those demographics out there.

Wow, how impressive that his whole military experience comes down to an alleged uncle. Good thing that we’re not in a time of crisis.

Remarks of Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama Against Going to War with Iraq
| October 02, 2002
October 2, 2002
—this is from Obama’s own website—-
Good afternoon. Let me begin by saying that although this has been billed as an anti-war rally, I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances. The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union, and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil. I don’t oppose all wars.
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. I don’t oppose all wars.

To all of you who post without reading and make comments like “Auschwitz or Buchenwald, what is the difference?”
There was much difference!
Auschwitz was in the province of Silesia which was annexed into the Greater German Reich after the invasion of Poland, so Auschwitz was not in Poland when the concentration camp was in operation.
The Ohrdruf sub-camp had been abandoned by the Germans and there were only a few sick prisoners there, along with some of the inmates who had escaped from the evacuation march to the main Buchenwald camp, when American soldiers stumbled upon the camp.
Ohrdruf was the only camp that Eisenhower visited. Afterwards, he ordered that as many American soldiers as possible should be brought from the battlefront to see the dead bodies there.
So lots of soldiers saw the abandoned Ohrdruf camp, although they did not “liberate” the camp.

“There was something about him that made me wary. A little too sure of himself. And white.”
Obama quoted from Audacity of Hope after he had a job interview.

When Hillary does this sort of “misremembering” she is called a “liar” and a “rhymes with witch”. When Barack does it, he simply made an “understandable error”. Oh yeah, and Barack? ; there are FIFTY [50} states in the US.

There he goes again! Is there no end to his “mispeak”, and why isn’t this little boo boo worth at least three Hillary bashings blasting and spinning all over the you-know-who networks for the next three days? He cannot debate one lick, he cannot stand on his own two feet and speak the real truth, his sense of family history, church, and country are totally out of whack, and he is back-pedaling everytime you turn around. Is he still awe-inspiring and filling us up with hope for change and unity? His sound bite campaign is really laughable. We get it. He doesn’t.

Sad, sad, it is really. The United States of America is at war because Americans cannot tell what a lie is. Obama didn’t lie, he made a mistake.
Hillary and Bush told lotsa lies, but they were white lies, so they don’t count. (How many billions did those lies cost again? How many jobs did those lies cost? Yes, let’s take those lies to the bank and support our families with them, shall we.)

Hey how about a blog on ABC’s report that several dozen Supers are ready to endorse Obama after June 3rd?

Where is Keith Olbermann when we need him on such a breaking story? Oh, he is too busy filing his diatribes on Hillary? We’ll wait.

Can anyone find out Barack Obama’s great-uncle’s full name? I am wondering now if ANY of his concentration camp story is true. Even if it IS true, he is pandering again, and using a horrible, unspeakable event in world history to puff himself up as a “true patriot”. This is the new “politics of change” he promised us? What an maroon!

erred? No he lied. He commits “gaffe” after “gaffe” which is clear he simply is uninformed and ignorant. He is a product of the liberal latte college system.

Hope | May 27, 2008 7:07:26 PM
How…. is it different?
He’s a liar…. he doesn’t know the heads of state… he doesn’t even know the NUMBER of states!…he has given us two vaguely autobiographical novels upon which to base his life…..and in essence he has manfactured his whole life!!!! at the expense of the people he climbed over to get where he is.
He will destroy our country with his limited knowledge of foreign affairs… except as lived by his political family members Odinga and Obama … and he has unsavory friends and unpatriotic allies.
Be careful who you give your vote to.
Be very very careful.

There he goes again! He makes up stuff and tries to be all things to all people. Except, he can’t keep his all his lies straight. Off course, he’ll get 3 more Superdelegates endorsements for his gaffe.

Bluebird…absolutely correct. Obama is a liar…not someone we want to be POTUS! He and his anti-American friends will destroy this country!

This is so much fun watching you folks bicker and whine. I’m 60 years old, seen a lot of elections, but I have never seen a political party be so set on self destruction. It’s either blind rage, misguided beliefs or just plain ignorance on display. This is great entertainment.

Obama and his camp is playing race card again. This time they are trying to pander to the Jewish votes. Hopefully, they can see through his lies.

Obama and his camp are playing race card again. This time they are trying to pander to the Jewish votes. Hopefully, the Jews will see through his lies and also remember that he is friends with Louis Farrakhan and other anti-jewish extremists.

Nikole,
You are confused. “Bitter” is what Obama called us. “Smart” is what we call ourselves. We see the big picture; you don’t. We do not fall for your scare tactics. Therefore, we will not waste our votes on Obama. He cannot win.

Obama lies all the time:: Thank you, I was getting tired posting these items! I appreciate your help..Hillary or McCain …..and we Jews do not believe this lying piece of dog poop!

A V.I. super for Clinton
UPDATE: Rodriguez, in fact, switched from Obama, for a net gain of two to Clinton.

Really, the “hope” is gone from the Obama campaign. It’s politics as usual.

In the words of Michelle Obama in February when asked if Hillary Clinton was the nominee, would she support Mrs. Clinton? Her response was….”I will have to think about it”. Well, Mrs. Obama, if you your husband is the nominee, many, many Clinton supporters will “have to think about it”. Hmmmm…..words do come back to bite you in the butt!

Obama’s dirty secrets are coming out!!
Welcome to the BIG LEAGUES!!
David from texas….you said it best.

seriously? this is what it has come down to? outrage that obama mistook auschwitz for buchenwald? after eight years of lies that have cost the lives of 4,000+ american soldiers, tens of thousands of innocent iraqis and several trillion dollars… we’re playing “gotcha” over obama getting the name of a nazi death camp wrong in an unscripted aside to a soldier. – not that anyone is disputing his great uncle’s service, mind you – only that, and it bears repeating: that obama got the name wrong. wow. just… wow.

To SD:
I have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as all the secrets Obama is hiding that will be coming forth. This is going to be interesting…..It seems that he is telling a lie almost daily now, and the MSM can’t hide it anymore…..stories are breaking daily about the negatives of Obama!

Obama please give the name of this uncle or at least a clue. Is he on the grandma with chickens side or the racist white grandma’s side?

April 18th — Lies within lies.
Obama defended himself of charges that he was an elitist by saying, “For example, I was going to a fancy prep school, and my mother was on food stamps while she was getting her Ph.D.” as a defense.
I got curious to know when Anna received her Ph.D. Here is the Wikipedia entry:
In 1992 she earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Hawai’i with a dissertation titled Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: Surviving and Thriving Against All Odds.
That was thirteen years after Obama graduated from his “fancy prep school.”
Obama consciously conflated these two events to produce a defense he knows to be untrue.

Thinking, and the name is?

we have to support mccain, it’s sad but he is the lesser of the two evils. obama is just up there cause people don’t want to oppose him because he is black, and it is the cool thing to support a black person for president. this guy is a blabbering fool, he doesn’t know how many states there are, he can’t remember what his grandfather did in the military, his preacher preached hate againist america but obama was unaware for over 20 years his true feelings, and distanced himself after it came out in the media. his wife is an idiot who just once and recently was proud to be an american, and then obama starts playing a race card almost and says leave my wife out of this, well don’t put a ignorant woman who is anti-american out there to make speechs on your behalf. we have got to get this country going in the right way. it’s got to almost be aother civil war, people have gathered themselves in certain states with the most anti american people ie california, mass., new york, all of the northeast. the rest of the country still has there sense but not enough electoral votes. this country is falling apart and it’s only going to have to be seperation before we rip ourselves apart

Neta,
I don’t care how many times Hillary tells us to vote for Obama. It will never happen.
Arrogant,delusional,egomaniac…these only begin to describe Obama.

The Truth is Out There:
And even if he didn’t throw Grandma under the bus, he certainly threw her in the same box with Reverend Wright (I’m not quite sure which fate is worse):
“I cannot disown him (Wright) any more than I can disown my “white” grandmother…..”

The RNCorporate Media has again sunk to new depths, ridiculing and trivializing a pivotal moment in the history of our Greatest Generation over yet another absurd technicality. Those of us who are regular and proud Americans will continue to honor those who served and saved the world from fascism, even as ABC/Disney and other elite mouthpieces degrade their memory, just as they ridiculed the Roosevelts mercilessly during the family’s years of military service overseas during WWII. Read “As He Saw It” by Elliott Roosevelt (FDR’s son, an Army major in WWII) to discover the real truth about our corrupt corporate media…

Why is it racist only if you’re not going to vote for Obama?
And where did you get this information:
“Obama has 61% of the Jewish vote. Know why? Because everybody is tired of being told that race *should* be an issue (Hillary).”
Have you every heard the word “Chortle”?
That seems about as expressive as I can get about this tidbit which apparently comes from a can as in “Yes, we CAN make up some new statistics for you!”
I’m Jewish….. and I never would have guessed! But if 61 percent of whomever you asked said they were pro B O prior to this latest blunder…. you probably have at least…. oh possibly one percent left.
The Jewish people doesn’t take concentration camp incarceration lightly!

That 61% of the Jewish vote is pure bull!! The Jewish community has been very skeptical about Obama from day 1!! Especially because of his anti_Jewish friends…try again

SIMPLE QUESTION: WHAT WAS SAID GREAT UNCLE’S NAME?
The research wheels will either propel or crush Obama’s story from there.
Remember the lie he told about the LIFE magazine story of a black man who bleached his skin white that Obama read in Jakarta as a boy that was “pivotal”?
It doesn’t exist.
Remember when he said he was in a fancy prep academy while his mother worked on her Ph.D. and was on food stamps? She graduated 13 years after his high school graduation.
Obama manufactures himself, and can’t keep up with his latest version of lie, was it v.3.4.a? or v.3.4.b?

Obama and his supporters have to got to be the dumbest people around.
So Harvard “graduate” Obama and his “educated voter” supporters can’t tell one camp from another. Got the history all wrong.
And these people are considered “smart?”

Will the media check to see if Obama even had an uncle in WWII? What if he made the whole thing up? I’d like to see this verified.

I only know that if I were addressing a large group of U.S. Military Veterans on Memorial Day, many of whom had probably served during WWII, I would certainly want to make darn sure I knew which Allied Army liberated which concentration camp before I attempted to speak about such events as a future, potential commander-in-chief.
It is an insult to all of the brave men and women who served so honorably in WWII, and to the descendents and the memory of the Holocaust victims for this elitist snob to not care enough about what he speaks to get his facts straight…………..

This is getting out of hand. When Hillary misspeaks the Obama supporters jump all over her. And now the Hillary supporters are jumping all over Obama for getting the name of the concentration camp wrong. My god, look how long and hard they both have been campaigning. They are exhausted. I’d like to see any one of you doing this day in and day out. I don’t know how they do it. I applaud both of them for their fortitude. And I think both sides have been way to hard on the other canidate.

Libby, your electorial college reference is great for Hillary. But, Obama has been preordained by the Party Good Ole Boys. His credibility obviously does not matter to these elitist.

questioner:
If I could get the name of this uncle I’d be happy to check any way I could. I think I’d win the Pulitzer prize for uncovering this one!! Anybody have his name?

kim a lot of us are sick of the Bush and Clinton dynasties. And maybe your so called good ole boys are too.

You know, I just have to wonder how many of the World War II vets in that crowd yesterday listenting to this clown speak picked up on the mistakes in his speech and were smiling or snickering to themselves about it…..
This fraud is fooling no one…..

All right Doug!
I figure it’s a lie.
But we could have come up with a great story!
WatcH…. Somebody will…..
Not TRUE… but circuitous and unbelievable,

This weekend when Hillary was being torn apart,unfairly I feel, about the RFK comment, one Obama suppoter wrote in expressing his political preference and then saying that this hysterical reaction was much ado about nothing. I appreciated his honesty then and will now return the favor. I am a Hillary supporter but also find this whole uproar absolutely absurb. He made a mistake. Big deal.

He misspoke and recalled the wrong concentration camp. You people and the RNC are really grasping at straws here.

chirp chirp

John Pen the majority doesn’t want Hillary. The country is split. The media and the DNC doesn’t tell us how to vote.

where do you think he got those huge ears from

J, and I guess Bosnia was too complicated for Hillary. All that sniper fire really gets to you.

I wish I could be Obama Girl because I got a crush on Obama.

Omentum,
Eventually you will learn how to answer questions. Unfortunately your brain has stopped growing. You’re stuck like this. Man, that must suck.
While Oprah is a topic. Do you guys know she went to Obama’s church for two years and left because of one of wright’s sermons.

Ryan…
I know that she left, but not sure exactly why. Wright berated her saying that she just didn’t want to tithe

Hillary has been offered the role of Lady MacBeth in the Alabama Shakespeare festival.

Ryan I am not Omentum but I am voting for Obama because I am sick of the Bush and Clinton dynasties. It’s time to get them out of the white house which Bill disgraced. And Obama and Hillary have the same policies.

come on, enough of the stupid “got you” politics. My father was captured in one of the labor camps in China cultural revolution, in which millions of people died. But I don’t, nor does anyone else in my family, know the name except maybe my mother. When the stories were told over and over again in the family, we learned how he was tortured, labored, starved over these years, but rarely did the name of the camp got mentioned. Obama’s great uncle did participated in libration of the concentration camp at Buchenwald. So he is accurate in the basic fact but was sloppy in confirming the exact name of the camp before he spoke. But in NO WAY was this comparable to the snipe fire lie, which was made up intentionally to boot Hillary’s case of foreign policy experience.

Super…why would Clinton need to “boot up” anything?
Obama has nothing over her in that area anyway.
If this is an example of a “fish story” than Clinton’s was not different…at least be fair.
Her account is in her book so it was not like it would not get back to her had she done it on purpose..

Actually I have been researching Obama for months now…this is nothing new…
I just want to find like-minded people that are not far right Dem bashers.

COME ON!!!!!
HE DIDN’T EVEN GIVE THE NAME OF HIS UNCLE!
HE’S A PREVARICATOR… A TALE TELLER….A L I A R !!!

Sylvia from Oslo. HRC did not participate in any Irish peace talks that supposedly took place in a Belfast Hall. No such meeting ever took place. The participants have made it very clear she was not ever involved. She had tea with some dignataries and wives and then turned on the Christmas Lights. End of that one. Now this still working full-time LOL who does have an education and a decent job is off to sleep – thanks to Bush, I have delayed my retirement!

barrack obama is TEFLON.
fire away
Just please respect him when he is in the oval office

Raliegh Voter
I think Obama said he is still in a contest with clinton.
and because we can

Well I am thinking it is because Obama’s supporters have nothing to support their own candidates foreign policy experience.
But if you have a list of it, I would be more than willing to take a look at it.

Omentum, you are naive.

hahha
you guys still cant believe it huh… it is still kinda a hard for me to believe tooo.. but its true
This rookie came out of nowhere and trounced the MOST well known name in modern political history. He became famous on a friggin speech a the covention 4 years ago… Hill has been around forever ….
how could this happen
OBAMA 08

Omentum…it really is not that hard to believe..
I mean George W was voted in Twice…
Nothing amazes me in politics anymore
and nothing surprises me when it comes to the gullibility of the American people…
Your a perfect example of that..
still waiting on that list of Obama’s foreign policy experience…

Still avoiding the questions and talking about Wal-Mart. When Sen. McCain is in the oval office maybe he can put on a blue vest for a photo-op or something. Obama is going to get stomped in the debates. McCain is going to win in a landslide.

OKAY… IT’S OUT THERE… FOUR HOURS AGO ;-)
I still didn’t find the relationship to B O…. just the name… and no history as to whether he even served in the army.
I know they had records in ’45… How come we weren’t offered any?
One would think the event would have been traumatic enough that those papers would be carefully preserved.

Obama is not a man of honor. In order to insure that Obama was to be the Democrat in his IL Senate race, his lawyers disqualified all of Obama’s opponents, all 4 of them, one by one. They took them to court and kept challenging signatures on petitions until each of them were out of contention. He was unopposed and won.
Ok…not really a big deal. But it happened a second time. The Republican he ran against, Blair Hull, was the front-runner…that is until journalists and TV broadcasters for still unexplained reasons, became aware of a “skeleton” in his closet. 6 years previously, Hull was going through a divorce and his wife alleged that Hull had threatened to kill her. Hull described that his divorce was bitter and that he had never been charged with that offense. Because of this, Hull ended up in third with only 10% of the vote. Obama ended up being the winner. Ok…maybe a coincidence….until it happened for a third time.
Now Obama set his sights on the US Senate. His Republican opponent, Jack Ryan, was the “ideal” candidate. Once again, some information go out to the media. Lawyers had to fight to get sealed records opened. They showed that Ryan’s ex-wife had accused him of taking her to a sex club. These were unproven allegations, just as were in the last scenario. Of course, Obama was the beneficiary in all of these situations. It kind of makes you wonder about what type of President this man would make doesn’t it? It did when I read it for the first time. As far as from what I have researched, this stuff is all true. I believe that the Obama campaign played the race card, painting the Clinton’s as racists. His campaign knows how to play the media or they are in the media’s pocket. I am not sure, but it all is suspicious.
The media controls our country and it is about flash over substance. That is what I feel it is all about…appearances and that is what I believe Obama is all about. This is just one of the many reasons why I’m turning down Obama.

Especially when Obama is supposed to be all about change and a different kind of politics.
When you look at who his primary backers are…they are a bunch of old school politicians…

Sorry Omentum..
It is something that Obama knows nothing about when one looks at all of the money he has already spent which exceeds what will be coming in…
So since you feel that way, let’s just say that they cancel each other out on that one…
Care to choose another issue?

I tell ya
Hannity would bust one seeing how Ryan and Raliegh voter parrots his lines.
you continue to ask for his policies although they are on his website. I have been stating that obama will get our troops out of iraq, use war as a last resort, use diplomacy, actually form a global war on terrorism. but i know already you will not accept that and say he has no policy so you can continue to parrot hannitys talking point.
You guys are going to get hannity gold starts in the mail.. heck he may give them to you in person because you are two awesome little minions.

Is Hannity another one of Obama’s questionable associates?

Independent Voter:
Yes, it all sounds VERY strange indeed.
The stories you have revealed in your post above, especially their patterned, repetitive nature, are usually the type of story that the media THRIVES upon.
It’s very odd that none of the “investigative reporters” all of the major news networks have are not delving any deeper into these “coincidences.”
Kind of makes you wonder whose pockets are being lined.

Hi Allamr18:
I think we would all appreciate a linkn to an interview with Obama’s great-uncle Charlie Payne;-)
Thanks in advance

Ryan
I know you are slow…. but I was hoping you would notice that I am ignoring you.

@Yavo Lem:
Thanks for shedding some light on this. I’m hopeful we’ll eventually learn the facts.

Well allamr18, I’m about to enlist in the Army. I don’t want us in Iraq but we can’t just run. Talk about losing credibility. We need to build up the iraqi military so they can do this themselves. It’s going to take years and we’ll probably never completely leave. Look at korea. We’ve been there for 60 years now.
Posted by: Ryan | May 28, 2008 12:27
i commend you on that my man. i plan on doing naval reserve once i finish the first portion of my graduate school. but with korea they asked us to stay. the government asked us to remain in korea. i dont believe the iraqi government wants us to stay. but he didnt say run he said withdraw from iraq where al qaeda never was and focus on the places they were afghanistan pakistan and parts of sudan.

OMENTUM, be quiet allamr18 and I are actually having a meaningful discussion. You must be jealous he actually knows what he is talking about.
alla, The Iraqi government does not want us to leave. Trust me Bush does not want to be there. They might not want us there for 60+ years but they DO NOT want us to get out right now, it would be chaos and we would have to go back costing us even MORE lives.

Of course the most amusing part of all of this is that Obama is so accustomed to all of his adoring multitudes (the MSM included) accepting everything he says at face value, and never questioning his word, that he assumes he can just rattle off any fact or statistic and never be taken to task about it.
I’m certain that never in a million years did this phony ever think when he was spinning this family tale during one of his typical storytelling sessions that millions of people would be out there questioning its accuracy and verifying that his relatives exist.
This man wants to be the PRESIDENT. Shouldn’t the media have been authenticating his personal history and background since day one?????????

alla, The Iraqi government does not want us to leave. Trust me Bush does not want to be there. They might not want us there for 60+ years but they DO NOT want us to get out right now, it would be chaos and we would have to go back costing us even MORE lives.
well when we left vietnam how much more chaos broke out? how many more american lives were lost?

McCain only stated he wouldn’t mind if we were there 100 years “if no servicemen or women were getting hurt” The media and people like OMENTUM have taken that all out of context. You should look it up. Read ALL of what he said. I’ve heard that 100 years crap from a lot of liberals. Not one has actually heard all of what he said. All I hear is “He wants us in Iraq for 100 years”

signing out.

@ Fact Checker 12:55:34 AM:
You are exactly right (in your last post). Indeed it was an interesting trip. And bumpy. The roads had hardly seen a repair since WWII. But besides from that, the culture and landscape of former DDR were breathtaking, quite different from the endless grey concrete stereotype I had imagined. And the city of Weimar must be one of the most beautiful towns in Northern Europe. Highly recommended.
Good night. And thanks for the recommendation.

amazing- that -A senator running for the highest job in the country would make a mistake about an uncle or great uncle, that cammot be found in military service,libeating a death camp libeated by the Russians.
To give this speech to Veterans on Memorial day using the Jewish community is really distastfull.
Do we really want this kind of leader?
I don’t think so!!!!!

Stop sweating the small stuff. His crazy friends are what we need to worry about. they will be running the country while Obama stands around Looking good in the suit.

He’s probably make Sharpton attorney general. Could you imagine.

She is not a deciever.The press want you to think so. We are not naive. all politician lie through their teeth.
It’s an oximoron to be a politician and a Jesus Christ like @ the same time. It can never happen.
Who ever says this, is a pathalogical lier. Who ever beieves this is an idiot.
Hillary is a tested politician (read the definition of politician)and certainly knows how to deal and weal with any country! Duck the debates is no show of political or leadership wisdom. No debate , no resume, No job. NEXT!

RealDeal and all others that have mentioned Hillary, McCain, or any others who wasn’t mentioned in the article: This story is about Obama!! He’s the “fool” that made up (or followed his camp’s instructions)to make up this lie to pander for votes. Plain and simple. Now i’m sure, by tomorrow we will hear either Obama or his camp start with ” the people don’t want to hear about something so trivial as this, they want to hear about issues”!! Their way of trying to control the minds of the voters, once again. He is a liar and a sneak and the people of America (most) aren’t stupid.

Wow! Someone hasn’t been paying attention to what Hillery had done and said for the last 16 years. NO! she can’t have said that or did that, you are all stupid! There is enough news footage to prove she is rotten to the core. Maybe you can tell us all what makes Hillery uniquely qualified to be president? She had never said .All we got from her was vague references and something about snipers.

I’m so tired of all the Lib’s in here changing the subject or cracking a joke trying to avoid talking about how crappy their nominee is. For real guys, why do you like Obama?

Obama is not prepared to be president. Every one of his supporters are desperate for change.So they have chosen the most covenant person to attach their hopes on. By doing so they have blinded them selves to others who are better.Their desperation has caused everyone to be on edge. The stress has caused people to do and say things that they would never say or do. the children are acting out and saying nasty things to each other just like the media and all of us! We are all causing this. Left side right side is all bull. The best one in this race is McCain. He is not my first choice. He is still better qualified than Obama.

I wouldn’t vote for Obama for “Dog catcher”
What’s happened to the DNC, how have they allowed this questionable character to get this far?
Hillary or McCain in 2008!

Fact Checker,
You are exactly right! I think the distance from the SNIPER FIRE To Obama was way more than 500 miles!

Hot4real You have so many liberal friends that it is hard to find the truth.Truth is that those who run for office in all counties do lie. You are reading reports from the media and It s slanted with non American thoughts. The leaders of other countries who don’t like us are bullies and tyrants who need someone to control them. the people in those countries don’t seem to have the ability. We get called for help. France called for help and we got stuck in Nam.
We went to the aid in many countries and get no thanks. If we don’t go and give aid we are still hated.You sound like someone confused with some one else’s Ideas from the left media most likely.

Obama, Obama the FRAUD! Lies, all lies! Look at me, I’m a commenter!

KRove ========================
If you ‘ve got other things on your mind about Obama you can say that.
It’s clear you are not arguing with commonsense.
Even a baby knows you can not make a mistake about people shooting at you or bullets flying around you.
It is laughable to say she made a mistake. Call it what it is – childish, fraudulent and insane.
How old are you by the way?

For me the point here is that Obama is striving to achieve that idea that he is patriotic by using symbols of patriotism.
He now wears the flag pin, puts his hand over his heart, makes an effort to make McCain seem like he doesn’t care about vets, and ties himself to the sacrifices made by members of his family, who I wonder if he has ever spent time with.
Because Obama was relying on research from his campaign and not personal experience he blew, and once again his campaign had to tell us what he really meant.
Anybody else noticing that it is the internet that is breaking the stories these days?

It’s interesting the clintonites are getting as desperate as their candidate.
Grasping at every straw.
When did mis-naming a place in a 100%true story become an issue. Desperation is now turning to insanity

It is illogical to equate this statement by Obama with Clinton’s statement about Bosnia. Clinton was in Bosnia, made no mention of bullets in her book, but several times on the campaign trail mentions dodging bullets. How does that compare to Obama who mentions his great uncle freeing a concentration camp 63 years ago and the story is passed down my family members. He gets the camp name wrong. I think it would be easier to remember bullets being fired at you than the name of the camp your great uncle helped liberate.

This is just another tempest in a teapot. I don’t think that Obama is the right person to be Chief Executive but this flap certainly doesn’t bother me. If my memory was perfect I might be more critical, instead I choose to be charitable and ascribe the error to either a minor flaw in a single memory or an oral tradition incorrectly passed down though his family. If every one of us had to stand by every single word we ever spoke we would all be in jail.

All I want to know is what school does polliticians go too, they must study hard to become this screwed up

The man is an idiot. He lies about everything.

Sorry Don’t…it looks like his whole story is just that…a story…
shameful
I wonder how he will explain this one away…oh I know…he will blame it on someone else…now THAT fits his pattern

HILLARY SUPPORTERS UNITE, Make sure Barrack and the Democratic Leaders know we wont support him… He and his supporters think we will come around and throw away our passion for Hillary. Stick with her, let’s take this to the GE!

ONLY the 86th recon infantry came into contact with the camp.
What other lies will they spin?

It is unfortunate the media has treated this whole campaign like it was a beauty pagent for their darling.(kind of the way they treated Willy)

Mark in LA ======================
For the purpose of argument, let’s just assume that you are right that obama’s great uncle enlisted in the navy.
Does someone in the navy serve america any less than someone in the army?
I really don’t get you.

“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.”
(the russians liberated Auschwitz)
Anyway, a big enough lie told often enough becomes truth. Mao knew this well.

This is an example of what can happen when we are so hasty to pass judgement. The context of Sen Obama’s story was correct, he just had the wrong city.For the individual who doesn’t think Obama should be president because his father was not American, please put your prejudice aside and read the constitution. Your qualification to be President is based on your nationality and not your father’s. Sen. Obama is a full-blooded American. Stop all this hate mongering.You can disagree with his politics, but don’t make it personal.

LET’S PULL TOGETHER LIKE WE DID WHEN 9/11 HAPPEN. THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE DID NOT LOOK AT RACE; WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AS AMERICANS AND WE CAME TOGETHER AS ONE….SENATOR OBAMA CANNOT DO ANY WORST THAT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALREADY WHEN HE BECOMES OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES…WITH HIM WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO UPWARD…GO OBAMA GO 08

The man has no experience. And as President one must choose words wisely. I don’t buy into the “making a mountain out of a mole hill” thing. These candidates are being judged (as they should) on how they present themselves, and constantly erring your facts or mis-wording your statements does not bode well for any future leader. Our voting options suck.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS UNITE, Make sure Barrack and the Democratic Leaders know we wont support him… He and his supporters think we will come around and throw away our passion for Hillary. Stick with her, let’s take this to the GE!

TO HILLIARY IS WINNING BELIEVE IT OR NOT WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATRED TOWARDS SENATOR OBAMA…….I LIKE HILLARY TOO BUT WHEN SHE WENT EXTREMELY NEGATIVE ON SENATOR OBAMA AND DID THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN; YET SHE STATED THEY WAS FRIENDS IN THE BEGINNING HOW SHE HAVE A PICTURE OF HIS FAMILY IN HER OFFICE…TO RUIN THEIR FRIENDSHIP LIKE SHE DID I FEEL SORRY FOR HER AND HER SUPPORTERS LIKE YOU TO RATHER SEE SENATOR MCCAIN IN OFFICE AS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT THAN SENATOR OBAMA BECAUSE SENATOR CLINTON HAVE LOSE…SO SAD.

All politicians pander. ALL ! All are corrupt, some worse than others. Obama is the least corrupt, Hillary is the most.

But Hillary promised much that she never had the intention of delivering. You cannot trust her. No politician will admit they are corrupt. I couldn’t trust Hillary to walk my dog, let alone run a business for me.

Chipo ====================
Tell me one thing obama said in this campaign that’s been proved beyond any doubt to be a lie like “sniper fire” story. Just one, not two.

If Hillary was winning, would she want those votes in MI in FL to count ? Really , be honest. It’s called deception. I live in Miami and most people here don’t really care, and most are McCain or Obama supporters.

“Flubs, flubs”? He outright lies and the media is saying flubs. All right, now this is just enough. Hillary says Robert Kennedy and the obamananiacs already have her strung up and hung and obama outright lies about uncles which he DOESN’T HAVE ANY UNCLES and the media says flubs? What in the world has happened to this Nation that we, the people, ALLOW a presidential candidate to OUTRIGHT LIE and bless him, while the female candidate is deemed evil and someone who is going to commit murder?
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU MEDIA PEOPLE. If you allow obama to continue to get away with his lies, what will you then allow and hide from the public, what he will do as president? What is the matter with all of you? This man is a total menace and you embrace him.
I hope that someone has the courage to stand up to this fantasy and challenge him to PROVE EVERYTHING HE SAYS, AND NOT JUST READ WHAT IS WRITTEN FORM HIM AND THEN TELL EVERYONE THEY HAVE TO BELIEVE HIM.
What is the matter with you?
You are creating another Aldof Hitler and you are doing this and are aware of what you are doing.

Didn’t realize Obama didn’t want this woman’s vote – guess I’ll give it to McCain then.

At least his family did something – WHAT???
LIBERATE AUSHWITZ – LIE
SELMA MARCH- LIE
LIFE MAG.- LIE
NEXT HE’S GOING TO TELL US THAT HIS UNCLE PUT THE FLAG UP ON IWO JIMA ALL BY HIS LONESOME. ETC.
As to most people don’t know about their family tree – do like Hussein – make it up. I’ll believe there’s an uncle when I hear his name, unit served in and some dates.

This story is misrepresented by
ABC News! Obama said it was his
uncle not great uncle when he told the story! That’s one untruth or “flub” as lies are now called!
The second and most glaring one is
the concentration camp that was referenced! It’s hard to believe you
can mistake Auschwitz for Buchenwald unless you just don’t care about accuracy or are making up the story!
The camps were on opposite sides of
the country.
The uncle great uncle “flub” is nothing to excuse lightly since there is a generational difference!
This sounds a lot like Hillary’s
“Bosnian sniper fire” story!
Wow you democrats are lucky!
You have a choice between two liars who have either made racially insensitive comments themselves or are tied to people who have done so!
They are both tied to the weather underground(Obama-Ayers, Hillary-Bills pardons)! Hillary also defended the
Black Panthers.
Great Choice! I’ll take McCain!
have

Obama’s grandmother’s brother, Charlie Payne, helped liberate Buchenwald camp in April 1945 as part of the 89th Infantry Division.
Prove it’s a lie or JUST GET OVER IT.

I really don’t care who votes for Obama or Clinton. I’m just laughing.

Oh, stuff and nonsense to all the haters out there who think they’ve found another insignificant reason for voting their bigotry. The fact is that Auschwitz is often used as an almost generic name for the entire Nazi concentration camp system. Like the Soviet “gulag” system, who apart from historians can differentiate among the various camps operated by the Nazi regime? Most of those who have written in criticizing him certainly could not.

Obama seems to tell a lot of “fish stories” doesn’t he?
When will the political pandering end?

Whoever said it please stop!
Obama’s mother was not naive because Americans are not naive. Just stop it!
I am very bitter about all you people referring to Americans as naive!
God Bless America

Obama supporters need to start bracing themselves and thinking realistically, he is not going to win the general election. He has turned off too many groups of people and there are too many grounded people that aren’t buying into the hype and trendy fad that is the whole basis of his campaign. The media is selling an image, there is nothing concrete about him. He will lose, and sadly to say, the democratic leaders are fully aware of this.

edouard…come on…Americans ARE naive…
need proof…
they voted for George W…not once, but twice! Why? Because they “liked” him…

Chipo ============
I’m not suggesting that.
Sometimes, we just dislike people for no objective reason. But with a little soul searching, we realize that we can’t really point to any reason why.
Well, no past president in history won every vote in america.
So, we don’t expect Obama to win over everyone to become president.

So let me get this right…
His great uncle helped liberate a camp , but he Barack named the wrong camp?
Big !@&ing deal !!!
Come on people, I understand that a lot of you don’t support the man……but this is a little weak.

Obama’s Uncle Charlie was a Navy guy. he wouldn’t have been in Europe. He’s have been in the Pacific.

Obama just reminds me of a “democratically elected” president of a south american country (Venezuela) now turned into a dictator, who has no experience, no real accomplishments or his own, brags about childhood stories that sometimes are true but many times are only a figment of his fertile imagination, has an entire troupe making up excuses for what ever lies he tells, has no love for his country or his people and trashes the religion he was brought up with….
I don’t know but is any likeness just pure coincidence???

It obviously made a lasting impression on Mr. Obama too!

Hmmm Carlos, I’ve never been dupped before. Sounds like fun.
And apparently from several other posts Obama claimed 57 states. I guess by your definition that makes you a liar. I don’t want to hear any excuses about misspeaking or making a mistake. That’s not allowed You’re obviously nothing but a total liar. Just playing by your rules.

So it was a true story, but he got the wrong camp. Old uncle Charley went to Buchenwald not Auschwitz. My god there are some sad people desperately clutching at straws. You’re going down people, trying to manufacture some milage out of a story like this shows how desperate you really are. I’m not sure whose more desperate Hillary supporters or the Republicans ( although in a lot of cases, they claim to be one when they are really the other)

JOHN WA Are you suggesting his White mother is native American not the actual native american that were here first? By the way “those people” built this country.
Ps those he was talking about his mother’ side not his fathers and the story was his uncle, his great uncle and it was passed down to him so if the details are not 100% the first time I think thats better than saying you were dodging sniper fire or forgetting how we are fighting 3 times in a speech.
PPS I am sure you know every detail about your family’s stories like who the white people are the native american and they were here first and built this country from the sweat of their brows.

Whats truly amazing here is the guy is ALIVE!!! If you have such an issue ask him. Don’t you think if it was a lie at least 1 news agency would have gone asked the guy and have the guy not confirm it. Its great how mccain can misidentify our allies and our enemy 3 times in 5 minutes in Iraq and HRC can say she was shot at by sniper fire 3-4 times and people give her a pass. He says 57 instead of 47 and misidentifies a german city that are in the same general area and people are ready to hang him.

Their all liars plain and simple just your average liars. This country is becoming more phoney by the hour.It makes me sick.The way I see it is when you lie and get caught your credebility goes out the window I dont believe a word none of these clowns say.Phoney bolony.

Lying is not acceptable, not the one who named a place in the same region incorrectly.
It is because there is no gain on his part or a gain at the cost of others, due to his mistake of misspeaking.
Certainly, Obama can not be forgiven if has lied about being under fire in Bosnia to show off his experience on the front line.
Certainly, Obama can not be forgiven if he voted for the Iraq war.
It is because the yes vote on Iraq war is a classic example of bad judgment.
We must not close our eyes to the consequences of the bad judgment on Iraq wars.
The consequences include deaths of several thousand young men & women.
Several thousands incapacitated & messed up for their lives.
Iraq war cost us several hundred billions.
Iraq war has drastically weakened the dollar & economy.
Iraq war was has not enables use to meet any of the objectives.
Iraq war has already created a haven for terrorists and the worst has already happened.
It cannot go worse than what has already happened in Iraq.
One whose bad judgment cost us so much does not deserve to the next president.
Look at the mismanagement of the campaign.
She has ended up the campaign in deep debt.
Look at how Obama managed the economy of his campaign.
I would never vote for Obama had he managed his campaign so badly.
It would have told me about his ability to cause more mess if he is given a chance.
She tried to misrepresent her first lady’s experience as a 3 AM kind of an experience.
It is true she was given certain tasks which normally the first ladies don’t do it. However, she failed to bring people together on her health plan.
There is no dearth of plans.
It is important to have a president who can bring people together for mutual acceptance implementation.
Obama has those characteristics.
He never tries to provoke or stoke anger among people like Mrs Clinton has been doing against Obama.
He is much more respectful of her than she has been with him.
Just recall her series negative campaigning episodes since the early times in campaigning.
She is losing by 162 and almost half million popular votes. Check out CNN.
By the way their delegate counter thing is interesting. Check it out.
What if Obama was losing and said he is in the game because RFK was assassinated in June.
It tells you something about the psyche. What is at the back of the mind sometimes pops out unintentionally.
It is human nature.
I would not have voted for Obama had he flip flopped on his stand of NAFTA and later it was revealed he was a strong supporter of NAFTA at one time.
Lies which affect the interest of people at large or hurts somebody else is more important than saying the name of the city wrong in the same region.

To Andy E-How about the Obama fundraiser in San Fran (the blue collars cling to their guns and religion when Wash Pols, like Obama, do nothing to alleviate their eco woes) and Michelle`s fundraiser in Az yesterday, both also closed to the public. Bush was at the Mac fundraiser in Az but how many sleezebag Resko`s were at Obama`s? Who do the Obama voters and internet donors think he will listen to if elected, them or the private donors? Hill needs to stay in this thing till the Convention to maybe prevent the Wash Pols and the press from picking the Dem nominee. She has more pop votes and Obama can only win with Wash insider Super Del votes and ignoring Mich and Fla.

I took a private poll here in the office:
Clinton: 2
Obama:28
McCain: 18

Glad your amused. hope tomorrow is just as fun for you!

Thanks Jase, I’ll pick McCain.

“This still isnt as bad as when mccain mixed up who they were fighting in the war”.
Yeah, but add to that 57 states, the iran is not a threat to a grave threat, arkansa being closer to Kentucky than Illinois, the fact that he addressed the sppech as Veterans’ Day, his flip flop on the flag pin thing, his extraodinary lack of judgment in who he picks to hang out with, the tired lines of “change, hope, Bush third term, 100 years’ war”, his ties to lobbyists, his stupid wife, his studdering problem, and his redistributionist, big government policies, and you got a lemon on your hands, dontcha?

“Good grief the name of the concentration camp was wrong! That’s like asking someone to pass the salt when they meant to pass the butter…. for the sake of the story: no change in content, meaning, point…. but, for those with little to find fault in: I guess it can be twisted into something that is equivalent to ‘his family invented the atomic bomb to end the war.’ Oh boy… I’m wasting my time with these littlenessess and so are you”.

Well, similar to the McCain shiite-sunni thing, wouldn’t you say? (except that McCain wasn’t grandstanding when he misspoke).

Isn’t “misspoke” another word for a lie? When did misstatements or lies become acceptable? This is hardly a great trait for the next commander and chief!

I feel for the people who think Obama
is the best thing since sliced bread. He is a farce, and a dummy.
Do we need a dunce is the White Hoouse?
John McCann is no prize either

All of them have made mistakes but Obama has been flat out lying with his stories.

John McCain’s “trophy wife” really offends me. He displays his lovely, young wife as some ‘reward’ for his accomplishments, but keeps her safely away from speaking. Its as if she has no opinion of her own.
As a Hillary supporter, any display of a ‘good old boy’ mentality where women are tokens for the amusement of their spouse turns my stomach.
Defeat John McShame, elect anyone else!

tired of writing,
“However, I feel that Obama posesses the skills required to LEAD this country in the right direction. That is why he has my vote”
What skills? Skill of lying? Skill of talking? Stories like this can be listed as “experience” to Obama’s thin resume. I won’t trust him to walk my dog let alone to lead this country!
Tired of hearing stupid things from Obama’s supporters!

LOL…Jane…
My sentiments as well

hello O-first of all it is insulting to the Jewish community that Mr.O couldn’t get the name right.
Second , the only Charles Payne{uncle or great uncle, since his mother was an only child} that was in the sevice was in the NAVY and the navy doesn’t have an infantry- Hello!!!!!
not only did Senator Obama insult the Vets , he insulted the Jewish Community as well, but I am sure it will all come out in his next book “how I lost the nomination”
Go Hillary08″

Another story that Obama either made up or twisted. Obama is now being defended by the people who made a big stink about sniper fire; IN A DANGER ZONE WHERE SOLDIERS WERE IN FATIGUES AND ON GUARD. Once again the messiah can do no wrong, even when we all know it is WRONG.

Obama panders to get elected. I don’t know his real motives for running, and it seems like he is a marxist in his policies, and the lazy, entitled liberals are going right along, holding out their hands.
Obama supporters, please explain this to me:
On a Sunday speech, Obama says that Venezula, Iran, North Korea, etc. are not a threat, compared with the Soviet Union, and we talked to the Soviet Union. This is to outline his policy of talking with enemies.
On Monday, the next day, he says that he’s “been saying for years that Iran is a grave danger” – which is it. they aren’t a threat, or they’re a grave danger?
Please explain, Obama supporters, how this is not pandering, not flip-flopping, and doesn’t show a great deal of arrogance, not to mention the fact that it insults his supporters purported intelligence.
Also, why are you folks so eager to socialize the oil companies? You do realize that pension plans, 401ks, your grandparents, and your IRAs are all invested in these large oil companies, and they’re making a living off it. Not only that, but to raise the capital gains tax would destroy retirees. If they don’t have their 401ks and pensions and IRAs, then they have to depend on social security which the democrats (primarily Clinton) and republicans have effectively used up on pet programs. You are all fools if you think “investors” are only the wealthy, and you’re ignorant at best if you have a 401k.
A couple other things:
1. Housing crisis is not the republican administrations fault. It’s morons who didn’t read, understand, or pay attention to the terms of the agreement they signed. I am not responsible for them, nor is the government. This is a market correction, and to coddle the fools who did this is only going to make things worse.
2. Gas prices are not the republican administration’s fault. It’s congress’ fault, primarily democrats. Democrats are primarily the ones lobbied by environment groups who force oil companies to drill overseas, process oil overseas, and buy oil from other countries, which in turn, makes prices higher. Also, all you liberals running around with your bottles of Fiji and Ethos? Guess what? Those plastic bottles? Made by oil. Your entire Prius? Yeah, that cheap plastic? Oil. You guys caused this, not the republicans, not Bush, not the Iraq war.
3. US casualties in the Iraq war are down 82% comapared with May of 2007. I think that’s showing improvement…but we should pull out right away! You guys are idealistic fools who don’t understand the situation. Troops aren’t dying at the same rate, and things are improving. It’s there in the statistics.
4. The economy is not the Bush administration’s fault, it’s Clinton’s fault for signing a law that deregulated the financial services industry, allowing a lot of the things that happened to happen. Not only that, but the fed dropping interest rates have destroyed the dollar. Oh yeah, and congress keeps passing farm bills to subsidize corn into ethanol, which by the way, uses tons of oil to turn corn into ethanol. Again, congress is to blame more than the executive branch.
As for Obama and the concentration camp? If I were Jewish, I would be upset. First, Obama says he’d meet with a man who says that Israel is nothing more than a stinking corpse, and that he, in no uncertain terms, plans to wipe them off the map. Then, Obama turns around and tells some story that may or may not be accurate (in his famous Iraq speech, he said the same thing only different…) in order to pander to the Jewish voters, when, he has done NOTHING to make it seem like he cares for Israel.
I think I should stop now. :)

The list goes on…….
Is the kind of character that is going to bring “change”, WHAT KIND OF CHANGE?
DO WE WANT THESE KIND OF WEIRDO’S IN POSITIONS OF POWER AND INFLUENCE RUNNING AMERICA?
the truth is, we only have two choices in this race. We can’t take a chance on this questionable unkown character.
HILLARY OR MCCAIN IN 08′

It’s my belief that a leader is best seen not in thier own words and deeds but in those who…follow them.
“We know in our heart that he only misspoke the name of the place & did not lie.”
how…Leni Riefenstahl…is that.
I find Obamaborg comments are always most effective if you cement them together in a sort of…hive…of blith insensitivity and breathtaking ignorance:
“Good grief the name of the concentration camp was wrong! That’s like asking someone to pass the salt when they meant to pass the butter….”
“Buchenwald…Auschwitz…Dachau…Treblinka….Bergen-Belsen. What’s the difference?”
“Who cares about what the germans call their towns?”
“liberating one of these concentration camps versus another makes no difference as to the story.”
“When did mis-naming a place in a 100%true story become an issue.”
(interesting to use “story” not…statement of fact)
I read this ENTIRE thread hoping SOMEONE would mention WHY this might be a BIG BIG BIG mistake for a presidential candidate to make.
It’s bad enough domestically that Barack has made a career of taking credit for the accomplishments of others be it their stirring words he merely mouths, courageous stands he was not around for or legislation he did no work on. And that his “policy statements” (that obamacrats point out are so similar to Clintons) all too often amount to “yeah, what…she..said”
But WHO might find this particular “story” an…issue?
(other than deeply offended Jews, other victim groups and exacting WWII scholars)
How about The Russian People who DID liberate the 7000 remaining prisioners at Auschwitz?
The RUSSIAN armed forces, who had 15,000 of their prisoners of war executed among the estimated million exterminated at Auschwitz, just MIGHT take offense that the possible NEXT president of the United States now casually claims THEIR victories…too.
Bush has keep our attention on the the middle east but there is perhaps no country that could prove more problematic to the next president than Resurgent Russia.
Reagan loved to believe that he tore down that wall all by himself…but I’ve always thought the demise of the Soviet Union had more to do with the soul and body sickening national devastation of…Chernobyl.
We now have our own gaping wounds in New York and New Orleans and THIS president has so eroded our stature worldwide that international experts now say that there is a growing belief that Putin has shown better leadership that Bush.
And THAT should deeply worry those of us who grew up ducKing under our school desks IN The Cold War.
But then many Obama Youth, the kind that see no harm in such a…minor misspeak…could not even tell you what The Cold War was…
Tonight in the Kremlin they’re likely rolling their eyes toward Heaven and clinking their vodka glasses
“Here’s to ANOTHER American…idiot!”
…

This incident reminds me of a previous ‘misspoken’ case by Obama ,in a speech celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Selma civil right march, he tried to give credit to former president Kennedy for help bringing Obama Sr. to this country from Kenya in 1959. JFK has never done that. What a dumb elitist Obama is !

janitt dott:
Thanks;-)

x marks the spot:
I was careful to write great-uncle, not uncle. I think that slip IS irrelevant.
Auschwitz vs. Buchenwald? Yes, both were concentration camps.
Liberating either was noble.
But if Obama wants to cloak himself in that nobility, he might bother to get the details right.
The fact that he brought up the Holocaust at all and his relatives participation in liberating a camp at a moment in the primaries where Florida (the Jewish vote) has become crucial (May 31), is pandering.
I am most offended by the pandering, not by the fact he got the detail wrong. Though you’d think if this was such an important family legend (suddenly, just now remembered for public unveiling), he could bother to those details right. Maybe he should have rehearsed a little more before trying it out in public.
