I'm cool with "careless". It's not as though Obama is planning policy based off of which specific concentration camp his extended family has visited.

Oh for Christ's sake, there are bigger issues at stake than this gaffe. If for nothing else, I find it fascinating that the republicans are now criticizing Obama's lack of service whereas before, with Bush, they minimized the importance of service. Either way, the pandering that happens in regard to the military issue is particularly irritating given the slashing of aid to veterans and the endless deployments of those serving. That's relevant. Not this ****.


God, can't we ever just talk about the actual issues in a campaign rather than the Sturm und drang? And I'll really say, I don't think the critics really care. They just want to nail him on whatever they can, even if it isn't important rather than talk about his record or what he stands for. It's just like the whole fake thing about calling Obama a Muslim, which is annoying for a variety of reasons.

It's just filling news cycles since there's no new Dem primary news. Pretty much a dead issue now though with even the usual slate backing off of the story. Now that the veterans of the 89th have basically compared those who'd diminish the liberation of Buchenwald with Holocaust deniers, I doubt you'll see a lot of "Pfftt.... only his great-uncle and only Buchenwald?"

I take issue with saying it's comparable to Mrs. Clinton claiming to have been under sniper fire in Bosnia. Not knowing or misrepresenting one's own history seems far more questionable than not knowing or misrepresenting a second-hand story of something that happened, however it happened, before you were born.

I miss your avatar. As a member of the OOT, I enjoy amusing pictures of cats, preferably with some misspelled words that anthropomorphise the animal. I say, Bravo and hope that one day, you can be our socioemotional ideal.

I'd think that was sarcasm except that it's not on the front page of CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune (which I include 'cause we get every scrap of Obama news).

It's not on any of those front pages. It was last weeks news. I was saying sheesh to Anna's RAWR-attack.

It was obviously not "intentional". Obama knows that everything he says, every detail of every story, is gonna get endlessly dissected and verified by everyone and his great uncle. And not only what he says, but what the other 2 candidates say as well.

So I doubt he thought "hey, this time I might just get away with telling a porky since it will never occur to anyone that Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviets. Also, impossible to prove! Genius."

I'll go with "careless" too.

Me, too. Fabricating an intentional lie you then repeat multiple times to bolster your credibility isn't in the same ballpark as mistaking which **** camp your dead relatives fought near.

I'm gonna need flowers first. As for my statement, according to the American Heritage, I'm right!

I guess you just can't trust dictionaries these days.

My dead tree version of Webster's Unabridged jives with the American Heritage so I'm blaming that ***** Merriam for ruining it in the online edition.

C.T. Payne is not C.W. Payne. Different person it seems.

The other issue is that a Harvard educated man, ostensibly smarter than your average Bush, shouldn't be making such elementary mistakes. Especially in a presidential campaign situation. Many of you'd be excoriating dubya for making such a claim without fact checking first.

Speaking of smarts, it would seem Barry is attempting to use a previously failed foreign policy where it concerns Iran. He claims he'd use direct presidential discussions with foreign leaders and talk them into submission. By way of intentive, he'd offer such delicious treats as entry into the World Trade organization. The only problem is Bush already tried that recently and was rejected because Abjinadadithemuzzie thinks the WTO is a Zionist creation designed to take over the world.

Hmmmm. Kinda looking naive there, Obama. He needs to keep up with current events methinks.
