Obama is probably the only nigra in his white family, amd most of them probably don't know him at all, but he wants to claim all of them as relatives. How is a foreigner like him even able to run for President of the USA? Just from the accident of his being born in the USA?

Rumack: Mr. Striker, the passengers are getting worse. You must land soon.
Ted Striker: Surely there must be something you can do.
Rumack: I'm doing everything I can... and stop calling me Shirley.
Over Macho Grande?

"But maybe this is another of Mr. Obama's bizarre uncles in the attic.
For he was either a member of the Red Army or a liar, since Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army.

1945: Auschwitz death camp liberated
The Red Army has liberated the Nazis' biggest concentration camp at Auschwitz in south-western Poland.

Watch it.
Al Gore's quote was repeatedly taken WAY out of context.
What he stated was:
"During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system."
None of which claims that he "invented" the Internet.

If what he said isn't true, then he'll probably say his uncle is STILL hiding up in the attic, and hiding very darn well. Maybe Hillary can say his uncle took sniper shots at her? Well, WHEN are politicians and Jihadists going to learn that IN the Information Age, you HAVE to be truthul? WHEN!?! Taqqiya no longer works, O servant of Allah. Your cover has been BLOWN... thanks to the three English versions of the Quran on-line.

OK folks, he meant to say Buchenwald, not Auschwitz. Sloppy, but not the same thing as being a compulsive liar. According to Ben Smith at Politico, Obama's "great uncle was a member of the 89th Infantry Division that liberated the Ohrduf camp, part of Buchenwald and, according to the Holocaust Museum, the first concentration camp liberated by U.S. troops."

So Obama has an uncle who served valiantly. That was his uncle, not him. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. It wasn't his nephew, Larry Fleming. Although Alexander and Larry did share an occaisional Sunday dinner at family gatherings.
Obama, if you are going to try to glom onto someone else's achievements, at least get the story straight.

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Freeing the death camps: sixty years after the end of World War II,...-a0132053786
On April 4, 1945, soldiers from the U.S. Third Army freed a camp in the town of Ohrdruf, in central Germany. Tech. Sgt. Eugene Luciano later wrote about the experience:
During WW2 I am ashamed to say the Armed Forces were still segregated........I don't know if any African Americans would be named Eugene Luciano
"Many prisoners laid in their bunks too weak to move, but raised their arms in thanks. Bodies were piled high on the ground; others were in pits covered with lime. There were rows of ditches filled with buried bodies with an occasional leg or arm protruding [sticking up] out of the ground. The stench was intolerable."

Not just sloppiness.
Auschwitz became a byword for the Holocaust throughout the world.
Buchenwald is infamous, but not nearly so well-known.
Internet hits:
"Auschwitz" - 9.5 million.
"Buchenwald" - 1.4 million.
I accuse Barack Obama of deliberately misrepresenting the truth, in order to gain more empathy and support from his (retired military) audience.

"According to Ben Smith at Politico, Obama's "great uncle was a member of the 89th Infantry Division that liberated the Ohrduf camp, part of Buchenwald and, according to the Holocaust Museum, the first concentration camp liberated by U.S. troops.""
Obama (grandfather this time)
"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."
Okay so ,how does that explain grandfather?
Oh wait I get it
Obama's "great uncle liberated the Ohrduf camp, part of Buchenwald
And his grandfather liberated Auschwitz and Treblinka!
Problem is Treblinka was not liberated it was destroyed in 1943
We be a feasting!

Sen OBama is a product of the finest school system of higher education in America; the Ivy League. So if he makes small mistakes about the facts of which army liberated which concentration camp during WW2 he can be forgiven for it is no big thing. It is just a misunderstanding.
Also in that he doesn't know the difference between Gen Zhukov's Red Army of WW2 and Gen Patton's US Third Army is ok also; I mean after all, aren't all armies the same.
I truly hope he knows the philsophical differences between Osama bin Laden's alQaeda, Ho Chi Min's NVA and the US Armed Services; if not it could get confusing when he decides to withdraw 'our troops' from Iraq.
Hummmm.... Kinda raises the question if he knows the difference between Poland and Iraq doesn't it.

OK, am I the only one here who sees a striking resemblance between the ramblings of Obama and the ever popular Cliff from the sitcom, Cheers?
This guy is making it up as he goes, and then tries to make himself out to be an authority on the crap he spews. What a gaffer...

Lets review:
Major reasons presented so far for rejecting Obama:
His middle name is Hussein.
He attended a church with a crazy pastor.
He gaffed there were 57 states.
He knows some former hippies.
And now; he confused Buchenwald with Auschwitz while praising his soldier uncle on Memorial day.
Someone, ...I don't know. I don't think the cons hearts are in this. Maybe the last 8 years were too easy; maybe they just are not enthused.
Got anything else?
