Obama Doublespeak
Hello. This is a friendly update from Obamaland. Please refrain from wild outbursts and head-scratching as content might confuse or bewilder commonsensical people. Reader discretion is advised.
Speaking to veterans in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Obama said:
“I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps and the story in our family is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn’t leave the house for six months, right. Now obviously something had really affected him deeply but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” he said.
The problem is that his mother was an only child, meaning, he didn’t have an uncle.
What’s more, the Soviets liberated Auschwitz. Unless Obama had a far removed Russian uncle who fought in World War II with the Soviets, this is just plain weird.
Kind of sounds like Hillary’s nonexistent sniper fire in Bosnia if you ask me.
… But then this might be cleared up with the practiced doublespeak from the Obama camp, or the practiced doublethink some of his supporters. (No, I don’t know if that is true.)
Mini Update 5/27/08:
Why do people insist on referring to lies conducted by politicians as “gaffes“? They’re lies, not pigtailed school girls committing faux pas in polite society and laughing with their hands over their mouths. They are grown adults wanting (or threatening) to lead 300 million people, and if these folks habitually invent histories out of thin air, we have cause for worry.
This is worse than the sniper fire lie. He is attaching himself to the end of the holocaust in an effort to endear himself to Jewish voters. So what will he say to endear himself to the Hispanic voters? Channel Diego Rivera and every leftists favorite Che?
