== Great-uncle ==
Please could someone explain why it matters that Obama's great-uncle liberated Buchenwald rather than Auschwitz? My uncle was on what he called the Northern Convoys in WW2 and for a long time I thought he meant the convoys to Newfoundland. In fact he was on the convoys to the Soviet Union. Does it alter the fact that he was a very brave man making a vital contribution to the war effort? Not a bit - just like Obama's great-uncle. My uncle was so mentally damaged by the experience that he rarely talked about it, which is why our family knew very little about what he did - just like, it appears, Obama's great-uncle.
Really, fellow CP people, sometimes you have to stop nit-picking and get a life. Surely there are political issues you can attack the man on? Why are you fussing about precisely which Nazi concentration camp his great-uncle helped to liberate. [[User:WaZi|WaZi]] 18:25, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
