I was thinking the Auschwitz-for-Buchenwald thing was bfd, and not a mistake that reflected poorly on him. But if this sailor uncle thing proves out, then Obama has graduated to the Bill Clinton Fantasy League. Surely it's not true - it's just too big a stretch.

Chicago pol, fer crissakes. People haven't caught on yet that the Obamas are the 2008 models of the 1992 Clintons. Little difference in essential character and motivation except that 1) Barack has apparently kept it in his pants (or fooled around with more trustworthy partners - my vote); 2) Bill had tons more governing experience than Barack; 3) Bill had actual and fairly specific policy ideas and 4) Hillary actually earned a living in a real profession.
