There he goes again. Obama continues his tall tales. Is Obama feeling insecure on his ability to reach voters or is he just trying to pad his resume?
On Memorial Day Obama Claimed:
Was Obama's Uncle In The Red Army (Soviet Troop)?
According To The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Auschwitz Was Liberated By The Red Army On January 27, 1945. "On January 27, 1945, Soviet troops liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp complex, where they discovered some 7,000 prisoners, including young children, who had not been evacuated by the SS."

At Brown Capel AME Church - Selma, Alabama:
Earlier In The Day At A Prayer Breakfast, The Illinois Democrat Said:
This Is Odd Because Obama Was Born In 1961
But Obama Was Born In 1961, 4 YEARS BEFORE The 1965 Selma March. "Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961." (Obama For America Website, www.barackobama.com, Accessed 3/6/07; Anne E. Kornblut and Peter Whoriskey, "Clinton, Obama Link Selma March To Present," The Washington Post, 3/5/07)
Obama Claims To Have Passed Nuclear Legislation:
While Campaigning For The Presidency, Obama Has Boasted About "Nuclear Legislation That I've Passed Has Been To Make Sure That The Nuclear Industry Has To Disclose Whatever They Emit Anything That Might Be Considered Radioactive." Obama: "So the only nuclear legislation that I've passed has been to make sure that the nuclear industry has to disclose whatever they emit anything that might be considered radioactive and share that with local and state communities. I just did that last year." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At A Town Hall In Newton, IA, 12/30/07)
This Is Also Odd Because - The Bill Did Not Pass The Senate
But The Bill Did Not Pass In The Senate. "Those revisions propelled the bill through a crucial committee. But, contrary to Mr. Obama's comments in Iowa, it ultimately died amid parliamentary wrangling in the full Senate." (Mike McIntire, "Nuclear Leaks And Response Tested Obama In Senate," The New York Times, 2/3/08)
On Memorial Day Obama Claimed:
"I had an uncle who was one of the -- who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps. And the story in our family was is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn't leave the house for six months. Right, 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." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks On Memorial Day, Las Cruces, N.M., 5/26/08)

At Brown Capel AME Church - Selma, Alabama:
"Because some folks were willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama, Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama."
(Senator Barack Obama, Remarks At Brown Chapel AME Church, Selma, AL, 3/4/07)
Earlier In The Day At A Prayer Breakfast, The Illinois Democrat Said:
"If It Hadn't Been For Selma, I Wouldn't Be Here."
