The Barack Obama "Run for the White House" added a couple of goofs over the holiday weekend. First, in Maria Gavrilovic's "From the Road" column on CBS News web site, Mr. Obama claims that his uncle participated in the liberation of Auschwitz during World War II. Being a history hobbiest, I remember reading that in mid-January 1945, as units of the Soviet Red Army approached Auschwitz, the SS began to evacuate Auschwitz and its surrounding camps. Close to 60,000 prisoners were force marched from Auschwitz towards the west. On January 27, 1945, the Red Army entered Auschwitz and liberated more than 7,000 remaining prisoners. Maybe his uncle served in the Red Army? He claims his grandfather fought with General Patton. Maybe that's possible... In his second gaffe of the weekend, Mr. Obama said in a speech that "On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong." Isn't Memorial Day the day we set aside each May to honor those who have given their lives for our country? Is he seeing ghosts? Maybe the well-educated Mr. Obama doesn't know his own country's holidays. Confused with Veterans' Day, are we Mr. Obama? You can watch the video of the speech here from "TalkLeft," which bills itself as "The Online Magazine with Liberal coverage of crime-related political and injustice news," just so I show I look for news from both sides...

Welcome back Andy. You can run but you can't hide. I see you still have your head stuck in the sand, so I guess you still haven't learned anything. Not only are you backing a dead horse but the people of this nation are about to bury it for good! Welcome to the funeral!
With the desperation of the GOP, all I got to say is watch out for snipers on the roof tops, they mat blame it on muslim extremist but many have been blinded by the Obamafication of America to even see such as a possibility
