Barack Obama Lied About his Uncle Liberating a Nazi Concentration Camp
Below is a video of Barack Obama talking about his uncle’s role in liberating the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz.
There is one small problem with his account of the story however. Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviets, not the Americans. OUCH! His campaign’s response was to say that he, and here is that word again, “misspoke”. Obama apparently meant that his uncle helped to liberate a different camp.
That is where one other little problem comes to light. Barack Obama’s mother was an only child, so Obama didn’t even have any American uncles. His campaign has had to further clarify what Barack Obama meant to say. According to the latest release by his campaign, Obama meant to say his great uncle liberated some other concentration camp not in Auschwitz.
I find it hard to believe that Obama just slipped up during his comments. He had no clue who liberated Auschwitz, but he did know that he didn’t have an American uncle. He told the story anyway. This is purely a case of a politician saying whatever he thinks he should to get elected.
Barack Obama is supposed to be the candidate who is above politics. He is supposed to be the candidate of change. He is the candidate who will go to Washington and change the way business is done. However, much like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama apparently is just another politician whose ultimate goal is to get elected no matter what it takes.
He is not a candidate of change, if anything he has been changed. He is just your average run of the mill politician. He is not above the fray, he is in it.

I don’t think he truly lied, but what’s worse is I don’t think he even knows or cares to know the truth, it just felt good to say it. And so many fans just eat his stuff up.
@John Morgan: John Great comment and thanks for reading the Grizzly Groundswell and taking that first step into action by commenting. Don’t be a stranger!

Barack Obama’s great-uncle liberated Buchenwald, where over 50,000 prisoners died.
Do you have a great-uncle? Do you ever just call them “uncle”?
Obama called his great-uncle his uncle, and confused the name of Buchenwald in his uncle’s story with the better-known Auschwitz. The idea that he would purposely lie about such a thing is idiocy - it’s a tiny mistake that doesn’t change anything about what he said. If this is the kind of thing you need to win, it shows how strong your candidate is.
