Scouts honor, it's true it's true!

I really enjoy picking on politicians. It doesn't matter what side... they are all free fun fodder in my book. So I know I have been dishing out the goods on the Bush family, but this one I couldn't pass up. Looks like along with Obama never having served in the military, he also doesn't know his history to well. During a Memorial Day speech he revealed to us all that his grandfather not only marched with Patton, but his uncle was a part of the Red Army as well? Wait a minute....

Despite not having served in the military himself, Barack Obama used his Memorial Day remarks to speak about his family’s service. “My grandfather marched in Patton’s army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you,” he told a small group of veterans here. “My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have.”
Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “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,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”

LOL on a side note, afterwards an individual from his campaign caught the mistake and corrected Obama saying that he meant to say Buchenwald, not Auschwitz.
