The above was the initial post. Here are some points made in the thread:
1. It appears she developed cancer in 1994 while in Indonesia (it was mis-diagnosed)and then moved to Hawaii she died in 1995. Did she try to get insurance after the cancer developed and that's why she was having problems?
2. It looks like she was examined at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, recieved chemo and then was moved to Straub Clinic in Hawaii.
3. He said she was on food stamps. If that's true, would she have had or tried to obtain insurance, or, would she have been on Medicaid?
4. He said she was 53 when she tied, but, according to Wikipedia, she died when she was 52.
5. If she was in fact having issues w insurance while she was dying, why didn't he, a Harvard Law graduate try to assist her, instead of letting her deal w it - - most sons/daughters would have stepped in to help.
There's a link to a long Time/CNN article from April re 0bambi and his mother on one of the posts: http://www.time.com/time/nation/arti...9524-5,00.html

Do not question the leader. For he is wise and great.
Obama is just a liar.
I hate to sound all conspiracy theory...but many of the things he says dont add up.
It appears he had as much concern for his mother as he does for his $1 a month brother.
All good questions, but the American people have closed minds, and nothing matters because they want Oprah’s Obama to “lead” and “change” them.
She was supposedly on food stamps while a graduate student in Hawaii. I find that hard to believe given the fact that her mother and father could have easily provided her with food. His mother certainly had no problem with sending 10 year old Obama back to Hawaii to be raised by her mother and father. This sounds like another lie.
Is it just me or does it seem people are very confused about the difference between health and health care? I honestly believe our desire to “live forever” has affected our thinking about health care.
Where was Obama at this time? There are so many questions about this man.
He should have been with her. And there was no way she could have obtained insurance after she had cancer.
I looked after my mother when she was dying of cancer and dealt with the hospital/treatment payments and so did my sister. One or the other of us was always with her.
And so where was he? Was this the time when he went to Pakistan? It is amazing that the MSM totally ignores all these questions. I am just astounded.
Even for them this is unprecedented.
And I don’t remember him bringing this up before the debate. If it were true, you’d think he would have been touting this all during his campaign.
And when did he move into his multi-million dollar house?
Good work, it does seem to be yet another thing that doesn’t add up right.
My reaction when he mentioned this was to recall how Newt was trashed over things that happened when his first wife died. At the very least, it seems that Obama could have been a little more compassionate and helpful.
My thoughts exactly. He’s a cad. Why didn’t he get a real job and help his mother with the bills, and why did the great lawyer not take on the responsibility of speaking with the insurance company himself?
For a guy with the entire ACORN organization behind him, skilled at shaking down banks, forcing them to give loans to unqualified monories, you'd think the man who trained all these ACORN community THUGS would have no problem shaking down an insurance company.
Like everything else, how do you know when Obama is lying?
A: When his lips are moving. If his poor mother was on food stamps, she certainly wasn't paying for health insurance, therefore no "insurance company" existed in Obama's story.
The only question that really needs to be answered, is why Obama didn't help out his mother when she was laying there dying in a hospital bed- ALONE! ? The answer to that is in Obama's so called books. He hated her white skin. This was at a time when he was very busy training the top "community organizers" for Acorn, Launching his political career in Ayers house and building up his Obama radical Marxist youth army, following the early career moves of his murderous hero Che'.
He clearly is not a gentleman. We already knew he has no honour.
He has mentioned this before ...
I think he did at the Saddleback forum ???
It was odd then...
Wasn't this about the time when he turned his back on a high paying job as a newly minted attorney to walk the mean streets of ChiTown as a community organizer. He could have gone to work on Wall Street and easily made a half million bucks per year and helped out his mom. Instead, he decides to throw away that education and be a street walker.
Talk about cold-hearted and incapable of level-headed judgement!
On the bright side, he doesn't flip-flop when it comes to compassion for the least among us. He failed to help his mother then and blames his own failing on the government. Today he is failing to help his half-brother in Kenya who lives on less than $20 PER YEAR!
One other thing, my wife says I’m being a little heartless but this whole bit about Joe Biden choking up everytime he talks about his first wife’s death and raising his kids up alone is a little too much.
Am I being too cynical on this? My wife thinks I am. I just find the tears and choking up on cue during the debate and out on the stump a little too much for me.
