Funny...In 2004, the Left went ga-ga for Kerry because he had more military experience than Bush, and they kept pushing that throughout the whole campaign... So what do they do in the very next election?...they have a primary narrowed down to 2 people with no military experience whatsoever...  Quote:

No, not a stretch at all. A great uncle is an uncle. What difference does it make what his point was? Read the transcript of the speech; I am sure it answers that question. The point here is that calling his grandmother's brother his uncle is, by no stretch of the imagination. a lie. It is just some little nit for Obama bashers to pick on.

[sarcasm]So when I refer to my great uncles as uncles I am a liar. Good to know that. [/sarcasm] Your argument is probably the stupidest Obama bashing that I have ever seen And that is saying a lot.

Is there a difference between a father and a grandfather? Yes. He was speaking in a formal setting and should use the proper term. So what was his point anyway, did he know this "uncle" was this uncle some influence on him?

Let's hope that if he is elected he is just making up all these wild convictions of his, like unconditionally negotiating with terrorist regimes, invading Afghanistan, forcing oil companies to leave their profits overseas, immediate withdrawal from Iraq, and on and on .... I'm sure if it turns out that he was just making all that up, Dems will be happy as long as he raises taxes and appoints judges who will write new laws.

Re: Obama's Uncle Liberated Auschwitz?
I think Obama's lack of military service is a big stumbling block for some voters in the present climate of war. And he knows it. Yes he is trying to make a connection here. And yes if that was his (and his advisers) intention, then he should have used proper terms and made sure someone did a little research on the subject before he brought the matter up in a speech!
It does not bode well for a candidate who is seeking the highest office when we are at war with an elusive cut-throat enemy such as al-Qaeda. What we woulda-coulda-shoulda done to prevent this war is not the point in our present time frame. Sensible people, whether they like Bush or not, are looking for decisiveness in a leader of the free world. Comments made by Clinton or Obama in reference to a connection to the military only point to McCain's real service in war time. Both Democrats would do well to concentrate on their own positives. They are both dropping the ball- and if they keep this up- guess who will stroll onto the court, Jordenesque style, and put it in the basket?
