Obama has a Russian uncle? 217
The Soviet army liberated Auschwitz in January 1945.
Somehow an uncle of Barack Obama was serving in it at the time. Or so Obama seemed to be claiming on Memorial Day.
CBS news reports the speech in which Obama said that his uncle was among those who liberated Auschwitz.
Furthermore – and this seems to have been the main beef – that poor guy had to endure the horror of what he saw there without getting any help from some mental health worker.
Do not our hearts go out to him?
