Obama to leave campaign trail for ailing grandmother

Was thinking the same thing myself. Are these two events connected? Nothing, and I mean nothing at this point in the campaign is happening by chance. Anyhow, if he were so concerned about his ailing grandmother he wouldn't have thrown her under the bus with all of the other inconvenient facts of the man child's life.

“Along with his mother and his grandfather, she raised him in Hawaii from the time he was born until the moment he left for college.”

What happened to the Indonesian years?

Is he leaving the kids behind? (Wife is not going- we know that)

Is he taking Axelrod and/or lawyers?

If they answer is yes to either, you can be sure it is a damage control trip.

You with the ACLU?

You don’t even know the acronym. It is ACU. Ugh. Learn! It appears you obviously are not a member.

"ACU"? American Communist Union?

You jump on conservatives like a duck on a june bug. Don't try to sell me the idea that you're the true, revenant spirit of Barry Goldwater.

You jump on conservatives like a duck on a june bug.

I jump on RINOs and liberals. You are speaking exactly like liberals do....”whaaa! You are jumping on me”....OMG. Grow up. We are adults here discussing important information and you are worried about hurt feelings??? Please we have McCain to get into the White House. That is much more important to me than you calling me a bad name or your hurt feelings.

He’s going to bury the bodies.

Johnny Fairplay already played this trick on Survivor.

He's obviouslt not concerned.

Grandma Dunham's loyal - - he's not.

First thing I thought was that this has something to do with his birth certificate or keeping someone quite (teaching her the new truth). The timing is peculier to say the least. Are any reporters going to be following him (they sent 30 after Sarah). I really don’t think this guy is elegible but in the end i don’t think it will matter. So much for rules; if you’re going to cheat, cheat big

[Humal]

” theres more to this, funny how its the same time Andy Martin is about to drop the bomb on his eligibility in HAWAII.”

This was my first thought too.

Would blocking the release of any records of his birth be something he would have to do in person, or could his designate (his lawyer) do it? Anybody??

Prayers for his Grandmother. She is gravely ill and if the situation is like it was when my mother died, I pray for her heart and soul.

Dysfunctional families turnout varied kinds of dysfunctional people. I commonly refer to myself as an adult-child, one who has failed to learn how to be a true adult. I often fake adulthood the best I can, but at the end of the day my childhood hurts are apparent.

My younger brother though was a true narcissist. When my mother died we knew he would showup on the scene for his own benefit. When dad died he showed up with beer and lobster to ‘celebrate.’ He was never there to deal with the issues of their health needs, but only came to claim.

My dysfunctional radar piqued on this story. Pray for Grandma. It is the right thing to do. She needs our prayers. I know how much my mother's heart hurt over her son, but her heartsick pain didn't/couldn't change him.

"She tried to eat her pillow three times last month, and fell down the stairs twice-I'm just glad she's OK, and I want to see her one last,uh I mean, see her again"....

[SPOTTEDOWL]

Is this woman the ‘typical White perso’ that Barry loves so much?

[bert]

......She tried to eat her pillow three times last month....

I remember one time when I was about 12, I dreamed I was in a field eating marshmallows. When I woke up, my pillow was gone.

Since when do we here at FR believe “television reports.” They are just reporting what the Obama campaign has told them. Obama is a blatant liar and I don’t believe a word he says about anything.

I think it might be a good idea for this thread to go away before it becomes Exhibit A of “FReeper crackpottery” on today’s Daily Kos.
