This is from ABC News:
For the first time since 1944, the two primary candidates for president have no military background.
Neither President Obama nor Mitt Romney enlisted in the armed forces, although both of them have histories that run tangent with the military.
Obama, for example, is related to a number of veterans, including an uncle who helped free Holocaust survivors from Auschwitz.
I remember President Obama’s gaffe about that. The Russians liberated Auschwitz. BHO wiggled out of it more or less by saying his uncle helped liberate another camp, Buchenwald, and maybe he did. But this might be the first time a politician’s gaffe ended up years later being reported as fact in a story involving the candidate’s family history.
Next they’ll be reporting that FDR was president in 1929 and discussed the stock market crash on television. Or that Justice “Stewart” swore Biden in. Why not? It’s apparently better to adapt reality to Democrat party gaffes, than to report the gaffes themselves. Maybe they’ll report that Michelle Obama had a baked potatoe for dinner. Doubtful, eh?
