ABC news ^ | March 21, 2008 | TEDDY DAVIS and TALAL AL-KHATIB

'08er Skips Easter at Wright's Church.

Barack Obama was able to take the focus off of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Friday by picking up the endorsement of (a bearded) Bill Richardson.

Obama's allies are hoping the focus will stay off of Wright this Easter Sunday when the Democratic frontrunner skips services at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago and heads on vacation.

Per ABC News' Sunlen Miller, sources familiar with Obama's plans say the Illinois Democrat is expected to go on a tropical vacation with the most likely bet appearing to be St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Obama, whose campaign will not confirm his plans, is expected to leave Chicago on Sunday morning...

You just have to wonder how much did Ted Kennedy know about this *kid*?

The appeal must have been getting the Dem Party back from the Clintons...and believing Barack would be beholden.

Nothing else makes sense.

I hope he and his family have a nice little vaction together. He needs to come back all refreshed and ready to take the Dem nomination when it is time.

Being a typical white woman, she’d probably get sunburned.

***Where is there any mention of his ailing grandmother?**

Like his middle name - apparently, Grammobama must not be mentioned by the MSM. Only Barack is allowed to see her or diss her.

That is the point...no mention of her after Obama threw her under the bus recently.

He apparently has not seen his only living biological grandparent in over a year .

He goes to a beach, but not near her for Easter.

"I just got this new computer to see how Barry's campaign is going. Oh my goodness, so he thinks a typical white woman would take in her daughter's little boy and pay for his fancy education so she can go gallivanting around the world? I wish I were on the mainland; I'd take a switch to that kid's behind today! Typical white woman, my grandmotherly white buttocks!"

February 05, 2008 Picture of the day: Obama's grandmother


Hey look, a bunch of wire photographers went to harass Barack Obama’s grandmother, Sarah Hussein Obama, at her chicken home in Kenya today! I suppose this has some sort of… historical significance about the changing face of American politics and the international dialogue on race and what not? All I see is Barack’s grandma and a damn rooster running around. [AP Photo]

The Rev. Wright was supposedly on a cruise somewhere. Maybe Obama plans on meeting up with the “good Rev.”. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

Devout Christians I know always skip the chance to spend the Easter Holiday with their congregation or with the one living relative who raise them in order to frolic on a Carribean beach..... /s

Poor ol’ “typical white person” grandma, not only has she been thrown under the Obama bus but she’ll be lucky to receive the time of day from him unless there’s a campaign purpose served by it.....

That black woman is NOT his grandmother. That is the woman his bigamist grandfather married after he left Obama's real grandmother.

Obama only vacations where there are no typical white people — they’re too scary.

Don’t know if he was ever baptized but given that there never seems to be any reference to it I suspect maybe not.....

The Rev. Wright, first he's retired, then incommunicado on an eight month cruise to an undisclosed location.

Meanwhile, Obama stays time zones away from Trinity Church AND his "typical white person" biological grandmother (who also raised his ungrateful arse),vacationing incommunicado at an undisclosed location.

Yes. Where in the world is Rev. Jeremiah White? Maybe Roscoe Karns can find him in one his "pictures". :-)

What I find interesting is that during a time that the US economy is struggling, Obama goes to the Caribbean to vacation. Seems to me that there are some very good (and private, if that is what he wants) beaches in the US.

He must be going outside the US to get some additional foreign policy experience.
