Hard to see how SHE is harmed by the inquiry — as for her son? I can easily see how his election to president could be very harmful to quite a few people...
Given that Mr. Obama seems VERY interested in making OTHER people pay their “fair-share” — it would be ironic to say the least if his mother choose (illegally) not to pay her taxes — don't you agree?
Moreover, what did Mr. Obama know about this and when did he know it? If it was some innocent oversight on Mom's part — did he help straighten it out? Does Mr. Obama think it is “ok” not to pay your taxes? Hasn't he told us that his mother was the most important influence in his life? Therefore — don't her attitudes towards civic duties matter?
Leave the dead mother alone.
Anna has a long history of antipathy towards America, but avails herself and her family of its benefits. She ensured her children were "born" in Hawaii and therefore "citizens." We know Maya was born in Indonesia, she's registered as being born in Honolulu, for example.
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 Bank’s 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 Women’s 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.
Those are high-paying, big-time consulting gigs. She made big money while living at the Hilton.
Don't cry for me Argentina.
By the way, this report implies Obama made a second trip to Pakistan.
The Obama File
You do now that he uses his dead mother in his tv commercials, claiming she spent her last few weeks worrying about how she was going to pay for her medical care?
He is the one putting her front and center.
