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.
Especially since they took down the attic stairs.
