My guess? Number four – because he has made historically implausible claims about the his family’s connection with the liberation of concentration camps in the past (Treblinka was also liberated by the Russians), unless his grandfather served in the Soviet Red Army, too.

Oh, yeah – and Obama doesn’t have an uncle on the American side of his family, because his mother was an only child.

Can we finally get the media to cover Barack ObamaÂ’s daily falsehoods, misstatements, and errors like they would any other candidate? After all, he ainÂ’t nothinÂ’ special.

UPDATE: The inevitable "clarification" from the Obama campaign (what you make when the media likes you -- otherwise it is an "apology" or "confession"):

"Senator Obama's family is proud of the service of his grandfather and uncles in World War II –- especially the fact that his great uncle was a part of liberating one of the concentration camps at Buchenwald," spokesman Bill Burton said. "Yesterday he mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald in telling of his personal experience of a soldier in his family who served heroically."

So it appears that the correct option above was number 2. Interestingly enough, Obama's camp didn't tell us who the great uncle was so that the information can be verified.
