Barack Obama reminisces about his uncle that helped to liberate prisoners in Auschwitz. The only problem is the Red Army liberated Auschwitz not the Americans.

One thing is obvious, Obama has a history of multiple gaffes that are disconcerting. The…

Perhaps that would be a good project prior to the upcoming Political Conventions: compile a list of the 100 (or so) best history questions to present to the candidates? In fact, it might be a good way to provide a refresher to the voters, too.

Any suggestions for pertinent questions?

I just saw on the Hot Air blog that Obama stated on Memorial Day that his uncle helped to liberate Auschwitz.
Maybe he can win the Jewish vote in Florida after all.

I wonder if all the excuses being given by the Obama-campaigning media because poor baby has been working so hard applying for a job he’s not qualified for, would also be given to over-worked medical personnel.

My oldest granddaughter graduates from 8th grade this year, and has decided to skip all further unnecessary stuff like high school, college, and so on, and plans to apply for a CEO job. All she has to do is have a huge group of enormously wealthy people buy the job for her, and there you go, she’s in!

it’s also a bit late in the game for conservatives to take great exception to rhetorical clumsiness in a would-be president.

Do you also argue that, since Bush is an alcoholic who spends us into deep debt, in the future the minimum we have the right to request is a rhetorically clumsy alcoholic who is guaranteed to spend us dangerously into debt? Can we now only elect transplated Texans?

Barack Obama is the kindest, nicest, warmest, most wonderful human being I have ever met.

Treblinka was closed by the Nazis in August 1943 after a rebellion by the prisoners. The Allies did not invade France until June 6, 1944, ten months later, on the other side of Germany from Poland, where Treblinka resided. It was the Soviets who overran Treblinka and other extermination camps in Poland in the summer of 1944, not the Americans.

It was also the Soviets who liberated Auschwitz in Poland, not the Americans, in January 1945. Unless his uncle served with the Red Army, he didn’t see Treblinka nor Auschwitz.

So Obama’s claim that his uncle liberated or saw or heard accounts from other GIs who liberated Treblinka or Auschwitz is not only wrong, but impossible. He got the who, what, when, where, and why wrong. What this demonstrates is that Obama is ignorant about WWII, about who fought where, about the timeline of the war, and about the geography of Europe.

However, what does the truth matter if you have the best intentions, right? Sure what Obama said was fake, but in its way it was accurate, right, and he really believed it was true so that’s as good as being true, isn’t it?

So who wants pie?

It’s funny that you both used the same word to describe it… and I agree, it is creepy. All it needs is a commie star to make it complete. Hillary is a commie and proud of it, as opposed to most Democrats who are commies and would prefer you didn’t know.

Reminded me of a saddam poster or wall mural. Curious that she would approve of this imagery and style. I think she saw Gilda’s t-shirt design and decided she had to have some iconic imagery of her own. ;o)

That poster is just plain creepy…

I’m afraid that cultlike worship is the new normal for a lot of Americans. It’s politics as American Idol. You don’t need the facts – just vote for the one who’s prettiest and sings best.

Dead on target! That is exactly what it’s come down to.

And the weird cultlike worship he’s getting from otherwise normal Americans.

You and I had the exact same feeling on that. After reading Maxx’s post I went straight to responding…didn’t read yours till after. btw, nice subtle changes on yours, good job!!

That poster is just plain creepy…

Barack Obama and his memory of World War II: 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……

Great poster, that needs circulation!!

Believe it or not, this poster is actually on sale on Hillary’s web site.

Thanks Maxx! Spread it far and wide.

And man! What a creepy hildebeast poster! I showed it to Mrs. B just now and she said, “Wow, that looks kinda communist, doesn’t it? I’d have thought you or one of your buddies would’ve made something like that.”

Heh.
