Oh, yes, I’ll bet it’s a Hillary supporter who edited the Wikipedia entry so quickly — this is why Shrillary is still in the race — she’s just waiting for the next gaffe or worse that may finally convince the Superdelegates that Obama is unelectable.
I think he is lying about meing a Muslim.
Why wouldn’t he invent an “uncle” for a speech on Memorial Day?
Any lie, any time, all the time==politician.

Most likely, the fable in question accreted about the service record of Charles Payne, Obama’s grandmother (the white one he threw under the bus)’s brother.

This actually appears to be the case, and the camp was Buchenwald and not Auschwitz. He just misspoke. The problem is, he sure does do that a lot.
