You're response reminds me of this Dialogue in "Raising Arizona."
Gale: All right, ya hayseeds, it's a stick-up. Everybody freeze. Everybody down on the ground.
Feisty Hayseed: Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion. You see...
Gale: Shut up!
Feisty Hayseed: Okay then.

Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should post a link, or stop posting to you at all? Mean to say, if'n I stop postin', I can't rightly give you a link. And if'n I give you a link, I'm not a-gonna be ignoring you. You see...

Here is a link. Here is the quote:(From Bank of Hawaii Co-Worker Jackie Berry.)
Berry said she didn't realize Obama was Dunham's grandson until early this year while watching TV.
``She was pretty conservative from my point of view so back then it would have been surprising'' to know she had a black grandson, Berry said. ``I would have thought: `I wonder what she thinks about that?'''
I think you ought not accuse people of making stuff up till you've at least politely asked them where they may have found that information.
Great post!

1. “Berry said she didn’t realize Obama was Dunham’s grandson until early this year while watching TV.”
Jackie Berry worked with Madeline for who knows how long and she didn’t know Obama was her grandson. Was she locked in the vault or did she accidently let it slip the Obama is Madeline’s SON and not grandson?
2. ``She was pretty conservative from my point of view so back then it would have been surprising’’ to know she had a black grandson, Berry said. ``I would have thought: `I wonder what she thinks about that?’’’
This confusing statement almost seems like Berry is making the grandson statement up.
