That smile of Zer0's is as phony as a three-dollar bill.

For much of his 84 years, Charles Payne has lived in Chicago in relative obscurity and watched his sister's grandson rise to the presidency.
But now it appears possible that a painful part of Payne's own story will be brought to the forefront, based on German news reports that President Barack Obama is considering a visit to the concentration camp that his great uncle helped liberate in April 1945.
Payne, who spent much of his career working in library science at the University of Chicago, was a private first class in the 89th Infantry Division during World War II when he participated in the liberation of Ohrdruf, a forced-labor camp that was a satellite of the Buchenwald concentration camp.
"I remember seeing a lot of really emaciated people in rags at the point of starvation. People were clutching tin cups for food," he said Thursday in a Tribune interview. "I saw sheds where dead bodies had been stacked up."

"She was a great storyteller," he said of his sister. "You couldn't totally rely on the details."
Dunham, described as something of a second mother to Obama, died in Honolulu just days before he was elected president.

Heh, good comparison for the smile.
Check out the angle of 0bama’s left arm and hand in the first photo.
What a sorry lot they are. Sheesh, all fugly.
“She was a great storyteller,” he said of his sister. “You couldn’t totally rely on the details.”
Must run in the family ...
“”She was a great storyteller,” he said of his sister. “You couldn’t totally rely on the details.”
When my grandmother was alive, she would say “This is a polite way of calling someone a liar”.
Good grief, even those family photos look photoshopped.
A traveling freak show...a band of gypsies
Oh that sort of comment is really uncalled for.
don't they just? I wasn't going to make a comment at all, until I read the article a second time...and this jumped out at me:

well well well...what have we here? This is the great uncle who was at the University of Chicago in the same year that Stanley Ann Dunham WAS ACCEPTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO as a student.
But the 'official' story is that her father wouldn't let her go...
Remember? Stanley Ann was missing after graduation in the summer of 1960 and wasn't seen again until she showed up with a baby about three weeks old, according to Susan Blake.
Methinks this great uncle knows a whole lot more...
Interesting comment:
“She wouldn’t talk about it because she didn’t want to jinx anything.”
In no way do I ridicule this WWII veteran,
who had to have suffered from the sacrifice
of his honorable service to our country.
This poor man must be humiliated to be related to Hussein.
Polarik, can you look at photo #1 and #3 and tell me I’ve lost my mind or does something ‘off’ just jump out at you?

Working in Library Science my lily white butt. He was Assistant Director of the University of Chicago Library. He has also authored several papers.
What do you think you see?
for later
A fine example of jusy how reliable is anything this affirmative action figure potus asserts ... like where he was born, whom was his father, what is his legal name and no other name has ever been used legally for him, what were his college entry records, etc. Barry is a POIE (and that’s not Hawaiian dip, it’s ‘Piece Of Islamic Excrement’).
