I was looking at some of the threads on a PUMA thread and found this one. Some interesting comments re Obama's mother. While ACORN, Ayers, Odinga, Wright, etc. are more important, this could potentially be just be another case of 0bama's perhaps being less than truthful. I also think that if it had been McCain or Palin and one of their parents or parents-in-law, it would have been all over the news about how uncaring they were to their parent.

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

Good post. What gets me is that anyone could think that having the government run everything could possibly make things better, as if once the government administers the system all these bureaucratic headaches will magically go away. Have these people ever been to the DMV? In a way, though, they may be right: if the government comes back and says you can't get a Dr. appointment for a month, or an MRI for six months, or you are not eligible for that life-saving surgery AT ALL, there will be no further "dealing with insurance." You'll just have to accept the decision, and drop dead.

If she was in Portugal, where they have free medical care for all, she would most likely die in the hallway lying on a meat wagon waiting for a room. At least that is the way some have passed away thanks to their free medical care.

My 24 year old chose to listen to the debate rather than watch. As soon as Obama finished that statement, he said “that was Obama’s Dukakis moment.”

Obama spoke of his mother’s dying with the same detachment and lack of emotion that Dukakis displayed in discussing the hypothetical rape of his wife. He, in essence, put his mother in the same category as the unnamed “waitress in Iowa” that politicians always find simply to make his political point. It just doesn’t ring true.

Just another reason to ask the one, true, burning question of the day:

What else is 0bama lying about

He was busy plotting the overthrow of the white world with Bill Ayers. What a Ba$tard!

You should change the headline of this thread to:

Michelle, Why Did You Leave Your Mother-in-law Dying in That Bed?

*wink*

She died young because she exposed herself to dangerous viruses. She was a victim of the reverse colombian exchange. Obama’s playa daddy killed her. There I wrote it.

If she was receiving Food Stamps, then yes she would be on Medicaid. All medicaid patients have FREE health care now, it is called the E.R.

What idiot try's to get insurance after the fact?

A dieing person does NOT bother themselves with thinking about how they are going to pay anything.

I know because my son died of cancer in 1987, trust me, he was not thinking of who was going to pay for anything, nor should he. We took care of all that for him.

Hussien you are such a liar.

I wondered about that the day after the debate.
# 1981, New York City: Just a Bizarre Coincidence?
Wednesday, October 08, 2008 5:07:40 PM · 70 of 89 bvw to FreedomProtector

Okay, now how do Ayers and Obama in NYC 1981 meet? A go-between? Chance? Was Obama sent to look for Ayers?

Okay .. I guess there is an earlier question. Why did Obama switch from Occidental to Columbia?

And I guess, out of curiosity, why did Obama mention his mom last night, because it was all about him? Why was his mom negotiating with drug companies about pre-existing coverage, just months begfore her death in 1995? Wouldn't she have carried her "career" insurance plan for many years by then? That's strange.

And where was Stanley Ann in 1980-82? Her bio shows only a divorce from the Indonesian Dad in 1980. And that might have just been legal clock running down on a filing years earlier.

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.

Don't forget he was a Harvard grad with a nice income too. Why would he let his mother be uninsured?

I stepped in and dealt with the insurer of my 94-year old neighbor, of whom I am no relation. Insurer didn’t have a problem with that. BH0 crossing hyperbole into untruth, as usual.

Of the institutions divinely established as a blessing for believers and unbelievers alike, (namely: free will, marriage, family, and national governance), each demand respect for legitimate authority within those institutions.

Obama ignores the role of responsible ethics in volition, marriage, and family regarding their role in caring for his mother, but attacks the role of national governance to provide aid. Yet of all of those institutions, it appears as though that same institution was the only one which provided the closest care for her prior to her death.

An interesting read of her background is in an article, “Barack Obama: Mother not just a girl from Kansas”, but seems to have been pulled from all the subsidiaries of the Chicago Tribune. I can find the first page from search engines, but the remainder of the article appears to have all been redirected and no longer available.

Only a souless, uncaring son like Obama would play the sympathy card of his mom’s death to help build a case for socialized health care......

He also brought this up in his Denver acceptance speech and my immediate response as he said it was “So why didn’t YOU help her, you bum?”

“And — and as someone who watched my mother argue with insurance companies while she lay in bed dying of cancer, I will make certain those companies stop discriminating against those who are sick and need care the most.”

http://ww w.nytimes.com/2008/08/28/us/politics/28text-obama.html?pagewanted=4&_r=1

He says he WATCHED her argue with insurance companies. When? She was either in New York or in Hawaii and he was in Illinois so this is either sloppy language or (oh-oh)another lie like his phony, could-never-have-happened astronaut story from the same speech. And since he makes it “companies” this certainly sounds like she was trying to get insurance after she was already diagnosed.

Why does it surprise anyone when a RAT throws their dead mother or their cancer-stricken wife under the bus to win an election?! I thought it was standard procedure, and the only question was WHEN, not IF.
