Obama Camp Admits Misspeak
by Bonney Kapp
Call it a mistake or a slip-up - but don’t compare it to “snipergate,” the Hillary Clinton gaffe where she distorted her trip to Bosnia.
Yesterday when talking to veterans at a Las Cruces, NM, Memorial Day town hall, Barack Obama shared a family story when discussing veterans’ mental health issues. He often discusses his grandfather’s service in Patton’s Army, but talked about another family member’s service.
“I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps and the story in our family was is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn’t leave the house for six months…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,” he said
The story was quickly picked up in the conservative blogosphere, which picked apart Obama’s story. His mother was an only child. The Soviet Army liberated Auschwitz. This afternoon, the RNC emailed a statement out to reporters. “Barack Obama’s dubious claim is inconsistent with world history and demands an explanation. It was Soviet troops that liberated Auschwitz, so unless his uncle was serving in the Red Army, there’s no way Obama’s statement yesterday can be true.”
So what’s the deal?
Obama’s maternal grandmother’s brother, Charlie Payne, served with the 89th Infantry Division that liberated Ohrdruf, a subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp. “Yesterday he mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald in telling his personal experience of a soldier in his family who served heroically,” an Obama spokesman said in a statement.
Obama's Auschwitz lie.
