It must be because John McCain is a war hero that Clinton and Obama keep making up lies to prove their readiness to be commander-in-chief. Hillary cannot talk about what she learned from hubby Bill's war exploits because he is a notorious Viet Nam War draft dodger. So, she lied several times about having landed in Kosovo and running for cover under sniper fire.
Obama, who like Hillary has not served in the military, talks about his family's wartime service. But in doing so, he flat out lies about their military records. In his recent campaign speeches, Obama talked about an uncle's (later corrected to great-uncle) participation in the liberation of Auschwitz and his grandfather's day after Pearl Harbor enlistment and subsequent comabt with Patton's 3rd Army.
During a campaign stop Obama said, "I had a uncle who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camp." Unfortunately for Obama, Auschwitz, which is in Poland, was liberated by the Soviet's Red Army on January 27, 1945. SNAFU, as we often exclaimed during my World War II army days.
When it became known that Auschwitz was not liberated by the Americans, Obama's campaign issued a correction, saying he mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald and that the uncle he referred to was his grandmother's brother, Rolla Charles Payne. According to Obama's campaign, Payne served in the 89th Infantry Division which liberated Ohrdruf, a satellite camp of Buchenwald, in April 1945.
I believe that Obama deliberately misidentified the concentration camps because everyone has heard of Auschwitz, while very few have ever heard of Ohrdruf. Because many 89th Infantry records were accidentally destroyed, there is no way of verifying Payne's service in that division. Since Payne was born August 23, 1892, he would have been 53 years of age in 1945. With an average age of 26 for American World War II combatants, it would seem somewhat unlikely that Payne participated in the liberation of Ohrdruf.
In a 2002 anti-war speech, Obama told an audience, "My grandfather signed up for war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed and fought in Patton's army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe." However, Army records show that his grandfather signed up June 18, 1942, some six months after Pearl Harbor. Another Obama SNAFU.
This past Memorial Day, Obama again told a campaign audience that "My grandfather marched with Patton's army." But, those Army records do not show that his grandfather, Stanley Dunham, saw any combat with Gen. George S. Patton's 3rd Army. Astonishingly, Obama must have forgotten that in his autobiography, "Dreams of My Father," he had written, "Gramps returned from the war never having seen real combat." SNAFU, again.
Why has Obama joined Hillary as a serial liar? It is well known Obama has a problem with veterans and with Jewish voters. Obama's Memorial Day speech dealt with his support of veterans benefits and the reference to his grandfather fighting in Patton's army was designed to establish a bond with America's veterans. And, when he talked about his uncle's participation in the liberation of Auschwitz he was using the Holocaust to ingratiate himself with Jewish voters.
Why should anyone believe anything Hillary and Obama are saying? And since many of his advisers have sided with the Palestinians, why should Jewish voters believe Obama's assertions that he is a strong supporter of Israel? Shame on Obama! As one observer put it, "trying to use the Holocaust for political gain is sickening -- especially when it is a bold faced lie." As for me, I would vote for Mortimer Snerd before I would ever vote for Obama or Clinton.
