Believe it or not, there are people on some right wing sites that are curious about the middle initial of Obama's Great-Uncle (where have I heard that before?!)
Funny exchange posted over at
Sadly, No:
—– Apparently, Dan-o couldn’t figure out the great uncle’s middle initial so that must mean he doesn’t exist. The word went out: KERNERS ARE GO!
Riehl compadre Steve Gilbert of Sweetness & Light did some digging and discovered there is a website dedicated to preserving the history of the 89th Infantry Division of World War II, the division in which Obama’s great uncle served and helped liberate the Ohrdruf satellite of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Seeking to get to the bottom of a mystery that had been solved hours earlier, Gilbert dutifully fired off an email to the site’s owners, Ray and Mark Kitchell, thus setting up the greatest bitch slap in history:

Subject: Any Record Of Charles W Payne?
Mr. Kitchell,
As you may have heard by now, Barack Obama has claimed that his great uncle Charlie Payne was a member of the 89th Div that liberated Buchenwald.
According to records his full name is either Charles W Payne or Charles T Payne (most likely the former), and he was born in 1924 — and he is still alive today.
He most likely was from Kansas at the time of enlistment.
Do you have any record of this gentleman?
Thank you,
Steve Gilbert

PS - If you go to my website, you will see that I was probably the first to note the error in Mr. Obama’s first claims about his “uncle.”

Please crawl back under the rock you came out from.
