A Hero Many Times Over
This is too good to be true.
Gateway Pundit, quick on the draw as ever, links to this interview in Spiegel Magazine with Charles Payne, the great-uncle of Barack Obama.
Turns out he has a few choice words to say about President Intern’s forthcoming trip to Europe:
SPIEGEL: Mr. Payne, early in June your great-nephew, President Barack Obama, will visit the former concentration camp Buchenwald, which you helped liberate at the end of the war. Will he be travelling in your footsteps?
Charles Payne: I don’t buy that. I was quite surprised when the whole thing came up and Barack talked about my war experiences in Nazi Germany. We had never talked about that before. This is a trip that he chose, not because of me I’m sure, but for political reasons.
So then Senator Obama had no qualms in making as much political capital as possible out of his great-uncle’s wartime experience, despite having never actually spoken to him about it.
Realizing that his immature, militantly pacifist, war-is-always-wrong attitude would harm his presidential ambitions, Obama lived vicariously through incessant repetition of the endeavors of his great-uncle. This allowed him to appear to claim a knowledge of and respect for the military that he in no way holds.
As has been stated so often, BO is the ultimate politician – he is completely without conscience.
And maybe he didn’t speak to his great-uncle much because he’s just another “typical white person.”
