0bomba: "I came from very modest means. I had a single mom and my grandparents raised me and it was because of the help of scholarships and my grandmother scrimping on things that she might have wanted to purchase and my mom, at one point, getting food stamps in order for us to put food on the table."

His grandfather was very well to do. He did not die until 1992. So why was his grandmother scrimping?

The only time that 0bomba lived with his mother, was in Indonesia. Was his mother really getting food stamps when she was living in Indonesia?

It's all part of the "poor little Obama, he had nothing but misery when he was growing up" image that Michelle always mentions when she's campaigning for Obama. "This Poor little Obama" story is always told with Michelle hugging her little Obambi's, who also have their long, sad faces pasted on, with the little one poking a finger in her eye once in a while to make her eyes look watery.

Anyone know where his younger 1/2 sister was during this time?

Didn't Obama himself decide to stay with g'ma and g'pa as he was tired of traipsing around the world with mom? Did the 1/2 sis stay with g'parents, or did she travel with mom?

At any rate, this man has some serious mommy issues. As with his 1/2 brother, he apparantly feels that none of this is his responsibility, it was the job of government to pay mom's insurance and to give 1/2 bro a check for just breathing air.

I thought his grandfather was a furniture salesman.
