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.

no. my guess would be that her second, muslim, husband didnt like the reminder of the first muslim husband (young Barrack) around. The grandparents then gave him a home raising him in Hawaii.
The grandparents are to be commended for their sacrifices...and I will gain respect for BHO if I ever see//hear such a quote. As to keeping granny ‘hidden’ she is around 90 years old...maybe she just isn’t up to all the fuss.
He still is a member of her family — he’s her brother.

I understand she's quite elderly and doesn't want any publicity. I respect that. I also realize why I stopped reading anything at NewsMax years ago.

Whoa!
I assumed Grandma was dead.
What a MSM snow job!
Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. divorced in 1965...
Two years after the divorce, when her son was five, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, a Muslim Indonesian oil manager, and moved to Jakarta, Indonesia .
Soetoro and Dunham had a daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng.
Four years later Barack (at the age of 10) was sent back to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents and attend the Punahou School.
Dunham and Soetoro divorced in the late 1970s...
Ann Dunham died in 1995 ... at the age of 52
Nukes are not all that popular so I am not sure dismantling them is going to upset too many people.
He could turnaround and say that Ronald Reagan was the first one who started that process.
yup :
” What a MSM snow job! “
“What is the secret. Is Grandmother gay? Is she a Communist? Is she a Republican? “
Maybe she’s just a private person. She is 90 years old, her husband is dead- jeez, maybe she doesn’t want to deal with the press, maybe she’s sick. Lets leave this woman alone. She doesn’t have to be in the public eye.
Yeah! That’s Tito.
Oh my goodness...there IS a resemblance!
Oh for heaven’s sakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ChiComs like their Nukes.
The ChiComs, Putin...would be happy to see us dismantling ours.
