The One's conflicts with truth revealed

Circulating on the internet is this email, a copy of which we have received, stunning us into doing a little research:

Can you imagine if Sarah Palin said this? He said this in 08 and still no one mentions it. 

Does he even know the difference between truth and fabrication? Now Barack's father served in WW ll. It must be true as Barack said it in a speech! Is he a compulsive liar? Were there no reporters who double checked these statements and called the party on this? They did for everyone else. Why not him? 

Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (Obama's father)

Born 4/4/36

Died 11/24/82 at the age of 46

He was 5 years old when WW 2 started, and less than 9.5 years old when it ended.

Lolo Soetoro (Obama's step father)

Born 1935

Died 3/2/87 at the age of 52

He was 6 years old when WW 2 started, and 10 years old when it ended.

One of these guys must have been the youngest Veteran in the war.

So is this true or not? A search at the somewhat leftwing Snopes reveals nothing (hm) but there' s an interesting little article over at Examiner, complete with a couple Youtubes to go along with refuting Obama's wild, self aggrandizing, inflating claims.  

and

  What do you think? Could it possibly be that the One Who Will Turn Back the Tide could possibly be prevaricating? illustrating? feigning? caviling? exaggerating? inventing? equivocating? fabricating? garbling? jiving? misspeaking? tergiversating? 

  (Okay, cavil really doesn't fit with a charming, um, prevaricator.)

  Alright, alright. I've gone too far.

  He's lying, alright. He's lying. 

  Ok? 

  Are you happy now?

  I've had to actually SAY it.

  I've had to actually ADMIT that The One Who Will Turn Back the Tide may (gag) lie.

  I have to go curl up into a little ball now, to deal with what you've made me admit.

  But maybe soon, the govmint will ban little bloggers from blogging anymore and then you'll get truth, revelations and real digging from the, um, New York Times.

  Yeah. 

  That makes me feel good.
