And Obama says this, as if someone who didn't know who they were going to vote for would hear him and say, "Hey, his uncle was in WWII - I think I'm voting for him!"
That's right, we're all just easily fooled, "typical white people"....
Big deal, so he said Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald. At least he is still young, has all his mental facilities, is cancer free, and knows the difference between Shiite and Sunni.
If that were true, and he had a grasp of history, he would have known the difference. The Russians liberated that camp.
By the way, the last time I checked, the US Navy didn't sail into those camps. All the Charles Paynes of Kansas.

LOL, it could also be an age-related jab.
Here's a question: Why didn't Obama talked about his relatives who fought in Viet Nam?
My opinion: Because talking about a great uncle who fought in WWII makes veterans from previous wars (i.e. McCain) sound old and creaky.
I have no idea, but previous poster indicated that Obama saying he had a relative fight in WW2 would make McCain seem old. That doesn't really work, unless Obama's older relative served in a war during or after McCain, if you're going for that angle.
