ABC: Obama AWOL From Texas Air National Guard

ABC news is reporting they have received a copy of an email dated April 1, 1968 in which a Texas Air National Guard commander reports that Barack Obama had not reported for duty for ten months.

According to the memo, the commander expresses concern that the impact on readiness of his unit "may jeopardize security of Americans in Benghazi for the next 40 years or so."

I needed the laugh. What do you want to bet that will be the top item on Fox tomorrow.

Never mind that Obama was maybe in second grade and probably not in the US in 1968.
