Obama saying something stupid and inaccurate isn't the issue nearly as much as our hallowed media not checking their facts.

The media rushed to print with the claim without even noticing the obvious error in the Auschwitz claim. There is a pattern of Obama making things up about his family. In his book, Dreams From My Father, he inflates the role of a man who walked out on his life when he was 2 years old while downplaying the influence of his mother, who had everything to do with making sure he received the best education. That book has been proven to be full of falsehoods. Although it is biographical, he changed the names of many of the people mentioned in the book. The Sun-Times Lynn Sweet said it was difficult to discern where the nonfiction part of it ended and the fiction part of it started. People who constantly tell fibs about their lives are pathological. It is relevant to consider whether someone who has trouble telling the truth about such small matters is someone you want in the White House.Gary R.

For some reason adding the great ticked her off something fierce.<BR/><BR/>The Auschwitz vs. Buchenwald thing is a horse of a different color. Senator Obama is just showing that he doesn't believe history to be an important component in the present day. Too bad, cause that kind of ignorance gets us into trouble every time.varangianguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571595354792261993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-33186772266273788452008-05-28T04:35:00.000-05:002008-05-28T04:35:00.000-05:00I call my great uncles and aunts "uncle" or "aunt."
