He lived and went to school in Indonesia for three or IIRC four years.

How come you’re so concerned that people are being “mean” to Obama?

I do not presume to speak for the other posters to whom your comments were addressed, nor is the following meant with any personal animis toward you.

I do not believe for one second that Zero has done *anything* in the past two years that was not directly related to making himself the next POTUS. I believe that there is no one in his life that is not a prop or chattel.

As I was driving home tonight I heard the news on the radio and before learning of Andy Martin’s upcoming expose’ I said to myself “This is crap, this is staged for sympathy or there’s something up in Hawaii that he’s got to go and cover personally.”

I believe that we are dealing with a manipulator that is several levels of magnitude beyond the klintoons.

"Television reports say she’s close to death."

I doubt that's the facts. She was released from the hospital last week AND Obama isn't planning on flying in until Thursday night (or 3 1/2 days after his campaign stated she was "gravely ill").

Ok, I get your point. But what’s winning an election got to do with a dying grandmother ? If John McCain’s mother who is what, 96, fell ill and he left the campaign trail to attend to her, can you imagine how crazy people would go here if the libs at Daily Kos said it was a campaign ploy ?

I just saw a tv report that says she’s about to die. Everything else about Obama can be on the table, but a death of a relative should be offlimits.

Attack his stance on abortion, the economy or whatever you want but in this matter I think Freepers should be showing a little compassion, that’s all.

I agree with you. He is more self serving, more of a liar, more of a user, more hard left, more of a hypocrite and a whole bunch of other things than even the Clintons, or the klintoons. And I never thought I’d almost think sort of fondly about them...!

Maybe I have concern because my mother is dying as I write this.

I wonder if he has to sign anything that needs to be witnessed by a Hawaiin notary in order to keep that birth certificate released.

Amen.

Hope as he can report back to his wife...she will be able to get the kids home to give Gramman on love touch each before she goes home to the Good Lord.

If she was that sick why would he wait till Thursday to fly to Hawaii to see her? He should have left immediately!

But the problem is not with his ailing grandmother, who I feel very sorry for.

People here are justly critcizing Obama, and he is not off limits at all. The points have been made well, but just this one bears repeating at least - if she is near death, why the hell isn’t he on a plane to Honolulu RIGHT NOW????

He is a cold hearted psychopathic megalomaniac user.

You sound like you have human emotions. Don’t mistakenly project them onto the Obamafuhrer. He just wants to control all of our lives after he impoverishes us and subjugates us to Islam.

See post #7. I suspect, in order to answer your question we would have to know a bit more about gleeaikin. Is gleeaikin a Marxist with Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Well Obama is and we have already seen him throw granny under the bus defending Jeremiah Wright.

It is all about Obama. He is the one we have been waiting for and the sick will now be healed and the oceans will recede. If you are not Obama, then you are only worth whatever he can get from you to achieve his goals. I think it is good to ask questions and that is all gleeaikin was doing. Nothing was said about the relative in question. I am sure gleeaikin wishes her well as do you and I. This is about Obama and people better start understanding who and what he is. I question the motives of his every move.

John Edwards, also, can anyone recall Edwards being a Capitalist with tax payer funds? Poor Berry, couldn’t beat McCain from Saddleback, couldn’t gain in the polls, everybody is finally getting to know his past associations, Biden is got a little press following, life is tough enough, and Granny being sick is become very troublesome, distracting

WHY then is he not going there now? WHo in their right mind believes this story. If she is near death, why wait 3 days to see her? This is the same grandmother he threw under the bus in his racist speech... The same grandmother he visited on his vacation with campaign staff and NO KIDS or Michelle. There is more to this story. Biden leaving I could understand, as he did so immediately. Obama is a fraud and a cynic. WHY announce something 3 days ahead of time?

Hey.....people are commenting because he's not going to see his GRAVELY ILL and DYING grandma for DAYS!!! He's leaving Thursday or Friday after a RALLY?

What do YOU think is more important....seeing to a DYING GRANDMA that helped RAISE you, or a RALLY???
