If anyone else running for president locked his granny away and refused to allow her to be seen, would the media complain?
You betcha.
But America's media have supinely allowed Barry Obama to pretend he has no white relatives. He has paraded his step-grandmother in Kenya, who never saw him until the 1980s, as his "granny," and locked the grandmother who actually raised him away in a closet.
Now, the Chicago Tribune reports "the Obama campaign declined to make [his white grandmother] available."
Is she sick? Not apparently. Bedridden? Hospitalized? Not apparently...
What a disgrace.
And like whimpering puppies the media do not protest, complain or demand access.
We are afraid to confront Obama's reality, so we pretend that reality is not there, even though it is staring us in the face. Anyone remember "Miss Lillian?"
We finally smoked out a picture of Obama's sister in the Chicago Tribune. She had said she was his "adviser" but refused to be photographed. Did she plan to enter the White house with a paper sack over her head?
Madelyn Dunham raised Barry Obama. It was probably her money that got him admitted to the prestigious Punahou School in Hawaii and paid his fees. Her efforts were formative... And yet Madelyn is being hidden away.
All because she is white and Barry Obama is a "black" candidate for president.
What a lie. What hypocrisy. What cowardice. And this man wants to sit in the Oval Office?
Ironically, locking Madelyn away is going to hurt Obama more with African-Americans than with whites.
Whites delight in drinking Obama's Kool-Aid. Reason and reality will only gradually descend on them.

People need to stop referring to Obama as “Black”. He is Mulato. Period. It isn’t about skin tone. It is about racial make-up. I am Caucasian and American Indian, though I am very light skin and people see me as White. If I were too identify as White then I’d be disrespecting my Grandmas and Grandpas, not to mention being untruthful. Obviously, Obama doesn’t care about honesty.
Why doesn’t the media go down to her house and camp out? Hope she disowns him.
At a certain Western European social strata, everybody has a documented Plantagenet in the woodpile.
Well, we thought he was ashamed of their skin color. But in his speech, didn’t he say he was ashamed of her because she was a racist?
I agree. I remember the press going after George Allen’s mother, hounding her until she had to admit she was Jewish.
