Not only am I starting to wonder where his thoughts are all the time but Who is really pulling his strings ?
It seems to be a common trait in politicians , waiting for their intern to tell them what to say while they concentrate on ......some of our conspiracy theories....makes one wonder.

Where are all the Obama apologists?
How can this be seen as a mistake?

Reminds me of when Hillery was ducking sniper fire.

May be the big O's uncle was Russia?

Blimey, unbelievable, pure evidence of a lair. This should show everyone of more evidence of politicians lying for those who may not be sure, really shocking that video clip.
Why wold he lie, his clearly having someone in his ear telling him what to say, whoever is saying what his saying in his ear is not clever.

obama is mental ... I mean, its clear

Un-friggin-believable....

Its like bush all over again, just with a few more points on the IQ test.
Bad liar though... you can hear it in his voice.

I seriously think that Obama can't really talk truthfully about his real family outside his inner circle that knows his true story, so he has to make up one to talk about with others not in his inner circle. He is a really sad individual, and to think he actually got elected to President. His time in office is going to be looked upon even lower than Jimmy Carter's.

Since when has a politician ever told the truth.

I wonder if Obama or anyone on his staff is even computer literate and understands how easy it is to check facts over the Internet.

Next election all this is going to come back and haunt him.

People will find any reason to oust this guy.

So he lied about his uncle to some veterans, it was Memorial Day! It was probably in the spirit of the holiday. It didn't hurt anyone, except maybe the possibly thousands of already butthurt people that think he should be impeached for whatever reason, this probably being one of them.

It raises question if he is able to lead as commander-in-chief? Really? All because of this little white lie? Come on. No one is perfect, and I am sure he meant it in the best way. It was a way for those men to relate to their commander-in-chief, that is all.

It has ZERO correlation of any other possible lie he has told, or anything else for that matter.

Huh? That's your justification? I must say, of all the Obama defenses, I believe that to be the weakest.

What does that even mean? Part of it is acknowledges more lies, but the rest is quite confusing. Does an accumulation of lies mean nothing to you? Maybe you need to back off that Obama flavored koolaid.

"Uh, yeah, um, it was my Uncle! Yeah, that's the ticket!"

If there is ever a movie made about the O, do you think we could get Jon Lovitz to play him or would that be a SNL copyright infrigement?

I stopped watching the video when he started to talk about Auschwitz. I didn't even bother to listen to the rest of it, or even the end of his sentence. His hesitant voice, nervous demeanor and overall weary tone was just embarrassing to watch.

You can see the moment where he made the final decision to lie, then I assume he just goes on and on.

There are no apologies for this, none. Not an offense worthy of impeachment by itself, in this day and age, but that's not going to stop me from seeing this as entirely detestable and repulsive. Lies and stammering confidences like this belong in your local pub where a so-called veteran gets all huff and puffed over something that never happened.

I searched but I couldn't find anything about him formally apologizing for this. This is pretty funny ... there is nothing to debate or debunk here. Obama caught red handed being the great President that he is.
