It looks like Al Franken is in more trouble…

…and Barack Obama has been saying his uncle “was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps.” He’s been telling that story for years, even though it can’t possibly be true since Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz.

Liz Mair, RNC spokeswoman, says Barack has some explain’ to do.

Barack Obama owes the American public an explanation in light of his statement yesterday regarding his uncle and the liberation of Auschwitz. It is a well-known fact that Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz. Unless Obama’s uncle served in the Red Army, his statement looks nothing short of fatuous—and Americans expect something better than exaggerations and outright distortions from a candidate who hopes to become our next Commander in Chief.

Oh wait, there’s more.

Barack Obama’s campaign scrambled Tuesday to set the record straight after the Democratic presidential candidate said on Memorial Day that his uncle helped liberate the Auschwitz death camp at the end of World War II.

There were two obvious problems with the tale: Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army, and Obama’s American mother was an only child.

Caught in the lie, Obama’s campaign “corrected” the story, saying it was his great-uncle, not uncle, and that it was the Ohrdruf camp at Buchenwald, not Auschwitz.

Is Obama that desperate to improve his image with Jewish voters that he has to exaggerate about his own family history? This is just as pathetic as Hillary’s sniper fire story.
