His white grandmother must have been Russian.

What's that drink with vodka and kahlua called?

That he got the camp wrong begs the questions: Did his uncle even go to a concentration camp? And did he actually spend months in his room after returning home?

Someone really needs to sit BO down and ask him questions to discover whether he is under the misapprehension that Auschwitz was the only place where concentration camps existed - if you listen to the video he says "...into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps...".

The more I read about BO's shakey knowledge of history, pre-vietnam at least , the more I suspect he has practically nil understanding of the very important era of 1910 to 1970 - an era that still has tremendous influence on the motives and machinations of states today - not the least of which are the countries in the ME.

During international negotiations BO could really be taken for a (disastrous) ride IMO.

From the US having 57 states to Roosevelt meeting with the enemy to Illinois bordering Kentucky to his uncle liberating Auschwitz, Obama is coming across as, frankly, quite stupid.

Will we come to lament the passing of Bush's wisdom?

Just for fun, Google "uncle in the attic"

Obama has several "uncles".

Six months of, what, in a stupor, fasting, in the attic, what a cheesey piece of pandering bs. Please. It's an insult to the troops that did liberate those camps across Europe.

America's left has found a knucklehead fabulist bigger than Dion. God help us.

I'm sure the media entourage swooned in appreciation, just loving Obama's sharing this complete crap with all of us. Gag.

Why, why that Obama does it all, by golly. Could he be better the Al Gore? Na, nobody's better that that. Just a thought.

Everyone knows that it was Al gore who liberated the concentration camps, just before he invented the worldwideinterweb...

Obama has several "uncles".

Amazing, considering his mama was an only child. Or perhaps Rev Wright and Dick Cheney are part of his family.

I thought it should be "uncle in the woodpile"

white russian, white mom ,white lie , whitewash ,whats the dif?

Chip, he said he had visited fifty-seven states with two more to go, but his handlers didn't want him to go to Alaska.

Personally my favorite state is "South" and that's where I plan on retiring.

Personally, I thought Columbia was a country.

Oh sorry, that's Colombia.

Anyone know where District of is?

"Is there nothing that Obama can't do?"

Make any sense whatsoever.
Yes we can yes we can...

I didn't know they had attics in Kenya. Or is he talking about the white side of his family, you know, the one his racist grandmother is part of.

What lot of crap. Lamenting that there wasn't enough counseling available way back before the weakening of men by the Leftist nanny state happened. Soldiers used just join the legion and talk it out with their buddies over a beer. Now we need psychologists to take care of everything.

Obama's team has now corrected the "uncle" to great-uncle.

"Uncle Joe" Stalin?

My Dad was one of the Canadian soldiers who liberated one of the camps, alongside the British Army, but it was in Germany, not Poland. Many years after the war, he spoke of the British Engineers burying the hundreds of dead with bulldozers. It horrified him all his life, until he died of cancer age 79.

Hillary and Obama, with their tales of dodging sniper bullets, and Uncles liberating Death Camps, are trying to show, in a rather pathetic way, that they understand John McCain's ordeal, and are just as worthy to serve as President.

Obama's Russian Uncle should give him a real advantage in State to State negotiations with Russia, when he's President. I can't wait for his first official visit to Canada's capital, Toronto, and his meeting with Prime Minister Dion.

Maybe Mommy used the word "uncle" or "uncles" for the men she brought home?

You Guys Don't Get It ! All you left brain types ragging on Obama - typical tight-assed rational left brain thinking. Obama is using right-brain oral tradition, anybody who is confused can tune into the videos of his pastor of 20 odd years - Rev. Wright and dig his rap on the right/left brain reality.

"Is there nothing Obama can't do?"

Yes: he can't drive his seat-wetting supporters wild by simply blowing his nose.

Oh wait, yes he can:

It's hard to believe that this guy is as dim as he seems to be. Did I hear right that he went to Princeton and Yale, and that he didn't need affirmative action to do it? Hard to believe.

No, John V, they used to get drunk with their buddies then went home and took it out on their wife and kids.

wonder if he smoked, and if he did, did he inhale!!!!!

Now that's funny.

I'm sick to death of the leftards and MSM they are obsessed with Obama, Jebus you'd think he found a cure for cancer or something. He's half Arab posing as a black man and the left lap it up like moon juice. Honestly they really are to stupid to be legally allowed to vote.

Right of centre

All of them, are you sure?

I had three uncles that served in WWII. All of them belonged to the legion and drank beer and none of them beat my Aunt's or cousin's.

Care to withdraw your statement?

It's ok to have a fair negative opinion of Obama that is your choice. You can call him a scmuck or idiot or whatever.

The part that devalues some of your opinions is the blatent bigotry that some people show when they descibe him. Why does he have to be dumb and black/arab. Why cant he just be a person who is dumb?

That link to LGF is nasty. I slows my computer down to a crawl. If others are having the same experience, I think Kate should remove the link. (The link to U-Tube is OK).

"I had three uncles that served in WWII. All of them belonged to the legion and drank beer and none of them beat my Aunt's or cousin's.

There are a lot of skeletons in some closets that many of us lived with. To say that there was no issues as they only had to get drunk with their buddies is showing an ignorance in the issue.

Care to withdraw your statement?

A DemocRat lyin' to soldiers? Wow, what a surprise.

Right of Center, Obama's not an idiot. He's a lying manipulator with a different story for every group he speaks in front of. You want that kind of man running the USA -again-? We didn't have enough of that with Clinton?

I didn't say they got drunk I said they drank beer.

As for the skeletons in your closet. I'm sorry you had/have problems in your life but that doesn't justify blanket comments.

Care to withdraw both of your statements?

^^^^^
Nope I stand by my statment.
Many people suffered from the mental anguish that the vets went through. To act like it never happened is just burying your head in the sand.

To be fair I should have said SOME but so should have John V.

Just for the record, here's a transcript of the video. I did this myself -- it's not from an online source.

Umm... I had a uncle who was one of the... um... who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz, and liberate the concentration camps. And the story in our family was that when he came home, he just went up into the, into the attic and he didn't leave the house for six months. Right? Now, obviously something had, had, really affected him deeply. But, at that time, there wer-, there just weren't the kinds of, um, facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain.

Barack is about as big a dummy as my son Lionel.

Fair enough.

I agree with you that some suffered and that isn't right or fair.

It was nice sparring with you.

^^^^right back at yah Jim

I wish it could be like this more often.

To be fair, I'd be in a lot of pain too if I'd inadvertently separated from my unit and marched alone across Nazi-occupied Poland to single-handedly liberate Auschwitz ahead of the Red Army. Gawd, the blisters alone would have kept me in the attic for a year.
I think the Legions were the ultimate group therapy organizations after the wars. No professional counsellor could provide the same safe, understanding environment that the Legions did for the vets. Most of the vets grew through and out of that environment over the years; others unfortunately never did and ended up as burned out alcoholics. That's a human tragedy, but hardly something to rub their noses in. And many men have indulged themselves in "the Demon Rum" and abused their spouses without ever being exposed to any of the horrors the vets faced.

I know this will be quickly deleted by kate, but where is your web story on the bernier affair? kinda gutless, what? You guys should demand better of your party instead of blindly following along...Call them out when they deserve it!!

OK, if Obama has the brains of Mortimer Sneard. who is his Edgar Bergen?

I would vote for PM Harper and his boys every single time but this Max has a point we should be discussing issues that influence our party.

Ok Max you can go away now.

Well, it does take the heat off his wife...

What's wonderful about a thread like is the predictability.

Only a few posts in and the racist comments begin to fly.

Once again, it's wonderful that Kate provides this site as a sort of drop-in centre for aged racists to come and air the grievances which would be (rightly) tolerated nowhere else.

Keep rockin', guys.

bolik --You are the one talking and obsessing about the rascist comments, the rest of us just ignore it all , water off a ducks back for all of us.

I sense a darkness in you bolik.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.(s)

Politicians need to keep up with the blogosphere. Debunking takes place in real time now. We won't stand for the usual BS that has historically been spiced up and tarted over by the MSM. It doesn't matter what political stripe. Lies don't wash any more.

ya, bolik is the genius who thinks Bush hid from danger by flying the F-102 in the Texas Guard.

Tell me, genius. If a black man tells a lie, deliberately, for personal gain, is he just a blameless victim of The White Man who can't help himself? Or is he a liar?

Question two, am I a RACIST for asking you that, bolik?

nighty night, dickweed.

Hey phantom

Yes. Bush did hide from danger during Vietnam by

1) having his father get him into the Guard, far out of the reach of combat, and

2) specializing in flying a plane so obsolete that it guaranteed he'd never be sent to Vietnam to fly it.

Just what does a man's colour have to do, Phantom with whether he's 'lying' or not?

Objectively, nothing. But for you and many of the other posters here, as this thread shows, ithas evrything to do with it.

Why?

I wonder why that could be?

Hmmm.

he's another david miller....!

look it up

another canadian import

fake nazi stories... fake nazi stories... now where have I heard that before? I know I've heard it in the not too distant past... can't put my finger on it though...

Oh well, it'll come to me...

On a different note, is Kinsella still looking to work with the Obama campaign?

I think this whole aura of "Obama" is built on the race issue. The blacks are proud of what he has accomplished and blindly vote for the man's colour,and this is verified by polling numbers and many,many news items. I have heard that the American people are on the verge of making history over and over if Obama is elected. Now think,is that a valid reason to put a man in charge of the world's only superpower? History can also be made if a majority of people wrote in Michael Jackson on their ballots. As Martin Luther King said"judge a man by the content of his character,not by the colour of his skin".Obama fails the character test.

Sorry for feeding the troll Kate,BUT...

Why? Because you clowns keep bringing it up. I don't care if you are Red,Black,Yellow,or Little Green...if you lie...you are worthless,and deserve to be taken down. FYI...there is only ONE race. The human race. The racism card is a blatant card the leftards throw when they are losing an argument. Can't prove your point,or accept that you are wrong, scream racism. Phhttt. My 6 year old grand-daughter knows better then you.

justthinkin(?)

I was remarking on the racism of your fellow posters in the thread above. *I* didn't bring the race issue up - it was already introduced by your pals.

Hope your six year old daughter has better reading abilities than yourself.

According to Rush Limbaug, Obama got into college via affirmative action and graduated due to affirmative action. While the former action probably facilitated his attending college the later explains why he appears so dim at times.

In his memorial day speech yesterday he addressed a crowd of veterans by saying something to the effect that they were there to honor a long string of soldiers from current and previous wars "many of whom are here today". Either he doesn't understand that memorial day honors the dead soldiers or he really is stupid. I vote for the later.

horny toad

bolik - I don't give a tinker's damn if Obama is red white yellow pink black sharteuse toape or roygbiv (colors of the rainbow) - he is, now that he is the presumptive nominee, showing himself to be not quite what folks might have thought him to be the last little while. And guess what? He will be more and more under the microscope of not only the media but voters everywhere. By his performance lately I'd say that he is going to have his ass sorely kicked. He will not be able to avoid it - not only because the media spotlight will be on him solely because Hill will be old news but also because the MSM, in spite of their love for this phoney, will have to show at least a modicum of professionalism and call him on any gaffs he throws out there (and there will CONTINUE to be many).

The Dems are throwing out a big ol juicy softball that McCain is going to knock clear out of the park. They are the fools I have always believed them to be if they don't nominate Hillary (much as I dislike and distain her)as their nominee.

Go "bama" Go!!!

Regarding George Bush and the F-102 Delta Dagger. The idea that national guard service in the F-102 units was a hide away from the Vietnam war is a recurring leftist meme. However, it is erroneous. F-102 squadrons were deployed in Vietnam and Thailand throughout the America involvement in the Vietnam war. The Daggers were employed on B-52 escort, and occasionally in ground attack missions -- a role which was particularly risky as the F102 Delta Dagger was originally configured as a high altitude interceptor and was ill-suited to the ground attack role. George Bush began training on the Dagger at a time when it was being used actively in Vietnam, however by the time he was fully trained and eventually discharged, its role had been largely supplanted by the F-4 Phantom. There is no credible evidence that Bush was in any way "protected" from service in theatre during the Vietnam war.

Oh and bolik - I can't let you get away with the usual leftard "racist" jab at the Right. Have you looked at the polls in the U S that seriously suggest that many who would support Hillary would not vote for Obama because of his race. Yes, bolik, we are talking about the self-righteous LEFT voters who would not vote for Obama because his is (dare I say it) BLACK!!! So stick it in your ear bolik. I am as White as they come and a "neocon" as you would brand me but I'll tell you one thing - if Condi Rice were the nominee for the Republicans and I was a U S citizen eligible to vote, not only would I vote for her, I'd be out there campaigning my ass off for her.

That is the big difference between the Left and the Right. The Right include minorities for their talent and abilities. The left keep them suppressed and try to convince them that the reason they are downtrodden is because of the bigotry of the Right. GWB is so right when he call the Dems on the "bigotry of low expectations".

bolik - you and your ilk are being outted on a daily basis and i'd say its about time. Crawl back into your hole.

Yeah bolik,she does.And she also knows the difference between Auschwitz and Buckenbol(sp?). So when are you leaving your leftards tit?
And all Joooes are anti-Islamic.

Obama sounded like a man telling another man's story. He should have said " I heard about a Russian vet who helped liberate Auschwitz...". This personalized fabrication is a hallmark sign of a very immature and insecure person in my opinion. Maybe he was thinking of himself when he said some people needed mental help.

I remember Eric Nielson calling out the PET one day in the HOC; few people knew the PETS 'war' record; Eric was a fighter pilot. The PET shriveled to a black slimy when the light was shed on him - pathetic but not someone that people in their right minds would elect to run their country.

a different Bob: ditto your comments about Condi. In fact there was a vigorous "Draft Condi" movement among the Republican rank and file.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/05/where_in_the_world_is_auschwit.html

Gotta agree with you and Bob, DrD. I'd support Condi Rice any day, no question. Or Thomas Sowell.

But Obama? Nuh uh. Not a chance. He's a jack boot dressed up like a bunny slipper.

Condi for VP ! That's the ticket :)

PLEASE KATE! Don't turn this into CBC style of journalism! Don't you think the producer of that video should have included the question Obama was answering?? Yuck!

Wait a minute, Keemo Sabe. Doesn't look to me like this was a Q & A session. In fact Obama was addressing some comments to a crowd of people on the occassion of Memorial Day. What makes you think someone asked a question? Or maybe someone said "Yo, Obama baby! Tell us about the time your uncle liberated the Jooos at Awschwitz!

Kate: You're behaving like the "CBC." You didn't post the question Obama was answering. Don't you think the question (from his audience) was an important part of the video??

To: A different Bob! Where does it say that he wasn't answering a question?? And if your read carefuly on LGF, he did have an Uncle who is still alive, and who has served in the USA forces during the WW11 liberation of Europe. Now I thought Abe Lincoln had put an end to.....

Heard a bimbette talking head on one of the American news casts call Obama's lie "a slip of the tongue."

Of course.

Yes,Condi for VP. I'm all over that like white on ...

Come on it was his great uncle but he got the camp name wrong.
I always refered to my great aunts or uncles as just an aunt or uncle and left out the formality.

If you are calling that a lie your just desperate.

If Mac said his uncle landed at the beaches of Normandy but it was Italy would he be getting a pass from some of you guys?

I would say he screwed up but not a liar.

Keemo Sabe - Sorry buddy but you were the one that assumed that there was a question. Why? You know what they say about "assume" - ass/u/me - making an "ass" out of "u" and "me" but in this case just "u". You're asking me to prove a negative. Typical leftard logic.

"If Mac said his uncle landed at the beaches of Normandy but it was Italy would he be getting a pass from some of you guys?

I would say he screwed up but not a liar."

He sure as Hell would NOT be getting a pass from this conservative,rightofcenter. If you were involved in the liberation of the Euroweenies (and especially the Frogs),you damn well better know you landed in France,and not Italy. But then the leftards think we took Vichy (not Vimy Ridge) in WW1,and that somehow we landed in Norway,not Normandy,during WW2. C'est the leftards mind,or lack thereof.
