Obama’s uncle did what?

By see-dubya • May 27, 2008 09:50 AM

Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”

Purple Avenger, blogging at Ace of Spades:

Auschwitz of course is in Poland. It was liberated by the Red Army on Jan 27 1945. Poland, on most maps is usually placed to the east of Germany, although we may need to investigate the geography textbooks the Messiah used as a child…

The Allies were wrapping up the battle of the bulge in late January of 1945 — the Rhine crossings were still well into the future when Auschwitz was liberated.

Either Obama’s uncle served in the Red Army, or he’s spinning Clintonesque lies about Auschwitz to sell his government programs. Hey, it’s for a good cause…but it’s not enough for him. It has to be personal. It has to be all about him.

It’s like Bill Clinton whining about those Arkansas church burnings he witnessed as a child–church burnings which never actually happened.

I think the Obamessiah just out Tuzla’d Hillary. The man is…nefarious.

UPDATE: No Tuzla here; he just mentioned the wrong camp during his off-the-cuff freewheeling.

Well, it seems there was a Black group that took part in the Liberation of a camp. The 761st Tank Battalion, an all-African American tank unit, participated in the liberation of Gunskirchen, a subcamp of the Mauthausen concentration camp, in May 1945.

However, the Liberation of camps by different units and such are all very sketchy at best, as the period of time during that war were very chaotic, and many unit histories are missing or distorted. As for movements of various AA units, those are also hard to find due to said chaos going on…especially the two AA units…the 761st Tank Battalion and the 183rd Engineer Combat Battalion.

Those are the two Battalions featured in a PBS “documentary” from the early 90’s that came under harsh criticism at the time for “fudging” a great many facts in order to make the two units out to have done far more during the war than they actually did, rewriting history in order to boost AA involvement in WWII.

It seems that B. Hussein “Empty Suited Messiah” Obama’s speech writers and handlers need to do a beter job of homework when attempting to make him relevant than they are doing, and not just following e-mail forwards that tout things that are questionable at best in order to make him appear relevant and strong when it comes to our Military and It’s Veterans.

Come on, get with the program. Most of us remember things that actually happened. BarryO’s so amazing, he doesn’t have to limit himself to that, he can remember things that didn’t happen!

And see dead people.

What a twit.

His camp should do a little research before they let him spout drivel.

They don’t need to. The damage is done, and that is all that matters.

Your basic, run of the mill Lib and Dem has no clue as to what happens to our Military either before, during or after they enter The Service, and for the most part, could care less. As long as it puts Bush and the Republicans in a bad light, they will believe ANYTHING that is stated, and will do no homework what-so-ever to validate said statement as it does not fit in to their beliefs concerning the Warriors that protect us on a daily basis.

Since the Left already believes that the only thing the Military does to our men and women that serve is turn them into baby-killers and father rapers, stating that we basically have every one of our men and women coming home potential ticking time bombs without the Government doing anything about it fits their ideals perfectly. Having a made-up story about some mythical relative hiding out in an attic somewhere because of what they allegedly saw during WWII only serves to give them a picture of what could be going on now…regardless of the fact that it was the Dems in charge back then and liberating Death Camps is a far cry from what is going on now.

As long as the Status Quo of portraying the Military and the brave men and women who serve as brainless robots trained only to kill is met, it makes no difference how said theory is told.

Wright on oBORGama boy! Keep sayin it lyk it is, the Wright way!

Who said oBORGama didn’t learn anything from pastor Wright — seems he’s learned how to stretch the truth with the best of them — he probably did his wife proud in the process.

oBORGama in 08,
kiss freedom bye bye,
time to assimilate.

Well, I say…produce the records. Produce the proof that said Uncle was in the military and what unit and when and where he served.

If it is good enough for them to say about Bush, it is good enough for us to say about said Uncle.

If the Empty Suit wants to clear this up, then present the facts and proof. Otherwise, come out and come forward with an apology and an admission of guilt.

I don’t know what the big deal is anyway because The Holocaust never even happened and I’m sure that’s what he wants to talk to Ahmadinejad about.

I think we may be overlooking some things with this latest, most monstrous gaffe. If this incident with his great-uncle was so important to him . . .

* Why did he never mention it before, in either of his books?
* Why did he not bother to get the basic facts regarding it correct?
* And why did he, as far as we know, never discuss it with Reverend Wright after the latter’s rants against Jews, white people, and the American Military?

I think these questions answer themselves. Obama, as Thomas Sowell stated some weeks ago, is not so much a liar as a lie. Obama is obsessed with race and the leftist view of the world. He can provide no historical context, justification, or understanding to anything he says. This has gone way beyond being funny. People need to focus on what is going on in this man’s mind. Not so much what he is saying, which is confusing enough, but why he is saying it. I’m not the only one who is beginning to wonder if he is either on drugs, or has a drug-damaged brain.

Just like Clinton’s “Black Churches burning in Arkansas” and Mitt Romney’s “Father Marching with Dr. King”.

More stupid stuff coming from the mouths of politicians.

Lets just take him at his word. His family has a history of mental illness in it. I believe that fact would disqualify him from handling, or having command and control over nuclear weapons by DOD and DOE regulation. Now does it disqualify him for Commander In Chief?

Yeah, let’s do. Mental illness would explain a lot of things.

He sees dead people in his audience.
The change he proposes is all hot air.

His uncle* was part of the brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. That means his uncle was in the Red Army… No wonder the guy’s a Marxist.

*(His mother was an only child.)

What just stuns the pickles out of me is the idea that Obama went to and graduated from HARVARD UNIVERSITY!?!?! This guy talks about 57 States in the USA, talks about his uncle liberating Auschwitz, talks about 10,000 people being wiped out by tornadoes in Kansas, and he’s a HARVARD GRAD.?!? Makesm e wonder wehat kind of an education students get at Harvard. If I was HU’s president, I’d disassociate my school from ever having known Obama….
