From Sandy in PA: obama said last night that his mother spent the last months of her life (when she was dying of cancer) lying in a hospital bed "fighting with the insurance company".
What's bothering me about this is:
a) That he is using his mother's death for political gain (but I'm not surprised) and I'm suspicious that he's lying anyway.
b) What kind of son or daughter allows their sick and dying mother to have to deal with the insurance company crap? I think a lot of us can attest to stepping in and dealing with the insurance company when our parents, grandparents or relative were too sick to do it.
c) Did he not previously say that he regretted not spending more time with his mother before she died? So if he wasn't there, how does he know she was lying there fighting the insurance company?
You know, I would not normally question someone who says this sort of thing, because I know people have problems with their insurance companies, and so have I. But coming from him, its not only questionable, but I resent that he uses it for political gain, and if its true, what kind of son lets their sick mother deal with that kind of thing?
OK, sorry for the rant, but I just find this too disgusting and he just said it again in his campaign speech in Indiana today, of course to loud cheers from the crowd. It just makes me sick. I hope my comments haven't offended anyone. I just had to get this out.
Did Michelle and daughters ever visit Grandma the last time they went to Hawaii? All I ever heard was only O visited her for about 1 hour, after stating that one of the reasons for the trip was for the whole family to see granny.
Maybe he was sexually abused by his grandfather, just like Mohammad was by his.
We could have a very disturbed and dangerous person about to get his hands on a lot of power.
His mother and half sister took him back to Hawaii, then the mother and half sister went back to Indonesia. The mother was an anthropologist and remained in Indonesia pretty much up until her illness, when she went back to Hawaii to die.
Bowen’s Family systems theory would also indicate Obama has those kind of problems. Detachment, a deep reserve of anger.
Don't forget he was a Harvard grad with a nice income too. Why would he let his mother be uninsured?
Dukakis, Harvard Law, used to say his brother got killed by a hit and run drunk driver. He said this for years to the usual press dolts, Democrats. Until some stiff asked him if it was hit and run, how did he know the guy was drunk?
Anything for the cause.
Joe Biden, welsh coal miner, his poor welsh pony, ‘Checkers’ dying from the whips of the Republican mine owner all the while, one by one his wife and kids were being thrown out on the highway by KKK/NRA members who also were driving 18 wheelers while reading the Classics Illustrated edition of the New Testament.
This is interesting article in that it says he was using drugs and alcohol at Occidental.

And then she turns her back on her only son by handing him off like a piece of excess baggage to her communist grandparents. They then somehow introduce him to a black communist radical pedophile who probably buggered the teenage Obama for years.
You can't make this stuff up!

Someone asked where Obama was during this time and I was wondering the same thing. From Wikipedia, here’s what he was doing from the early to mid 90s:
Beginning in 1992, Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years, being first classified as a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and then as a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004.[25]
He also, in 1993, joined Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, a twelve attorney law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, where he was an associate for three years from 1993 to 1996, then of counsel from 1996 to 2004, with his law license becoming inactive in 2002.[13][26]
Obama was a founding member of the board of directors of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife, Michelle, became the founding executive director of Public Allies Chicago in early 1993.[13][27] He served from 1993 to 2002 on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which in 1985 had been the first foundation to fund Obama’s DCP, and also from 1994 to 2002 on the board of directors of The Joyce Foundation.[13] Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 19952002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 19951999 - the project, which ended up spending $110 million dollars did not improve education in the funded schools[28].[13]

Not much in there, as far as I can see. But the constant use of ‘Ms. Soetoro is noted.
Obama was not a "young Muslim boy" when his mother was "courting" his step father, Soetero. Obama accompanied his parents to Indonesia when he was age 6. That was his first real exposure to Islam. He left Indonesia when he was 10 years old.
That’s what his followers believe. He will straighten up things for them and put them on new federal programs even if they don’t qualify now for any such programs.
Perfect explanation for this bizarre creature, but alas the American people WANT to believe in him, as they did “Bill” Clinton (an alias).
LoL! One thing we can be reasonably sure of, is that Obama did have his first homosexual experience somewhere between the time he attended the Maderrasa in Indonesia and his drugs and alcohol days at Occidental.
Anna lived in Pakistan for the five years beginning in 1987 and ending in 1992. During this time, Obama visited his mother and stayed for a few months. Anna was hired as a consultant by the Asian Development Bank for Pakistan Agricultural Development Banks Gujranwalla Agricultural Development Program.
Anna monitored the funds received for this program from the Asian Development Bank and trained the Mobile Credit Officers of the Agricultural Bank. This program was controlled from the Gujranwalla Regional Office. She stayed for five years in the Hilton International Hotel (now Avari Hotel), Lahore. She travelled daily from Lahore to Gujranwalla. When Barack Obama visited Pakistan, he stayed in the same hotel. After returning from Pakistan, she died from cancer within three years.
Anna also worked for the Ford Foundation and Womens World Bank, establishing micro-credit loans in developing countries. Her antipathy for America and Americans didn’t prevent her from funneling its money to third-world countries

That is really a shame. Of course I am sure they have an excuse, like they were overworked, they were on their 2 hour government lunch break or something similar.
Those who have money in Portugal go to the British hospital which they consider higher quality. Unfortunately the Brits are not that much better. I heard they discovered just recently that blood letting doesn’t work.
I read both Biden’s and Hussein’s attempt to garner the sympathy vote as shamelessly pathetic...where Hussein uses his deceased mother, and Biden uses his deceased wife and child toward that end.
During the debate with Sarah, it was obvious Biden lay in wait for the opportunity to use his wife and child. When he did, it was inappropriate since his response was not related to what Sarah had said. IIRC, Sarah had been speaking about families sitting around the dining table discussing finances and the future. Biden simply calculated this was probably the best opportunity he would have and went for it.
6-10 is not a ‘young muslim boy?’ what about the time spend with his origional father from birth to-? Doesn’t count?
