I am sorry if this sounds hard. However, this would not be an unusual ploy for sympathy this team of socialists. Both have used EXTREMELY radical statements about family for political gain in the past. That is a simple fact.
I have read the following here and feel I should respond:
"Ever had a parent or grandparent seriously ill? Do you really think you’d be thinking about how their illness would be good for your career? This is one area - illness of an opposing candidate’s relative, that should be off limits."
Did you ever hear Joe Biden trying to gather sympathy for his poor dead wife, who he claimed was "killed by a drunk driver" - it was total fabrication. Total.
Saying she negligently pulled out in front of a truck wouldn't have been quite as much of a tear jerker, though. It is my opinion that these two follow Marxist/Socialist tactics, my friends, and they will use ANTHING to advance their cause. The ends justify the means for them.
I am also aware that while it is sad, if it is true, that his Grandmother may be ill. HOwever, Obomber also has already used the very same poor woman to illustrate "the typical white" who is an inherently racist woman. I would never say that about the woman who sacrificed to raise me, no matter how politically expedient or to illustrate a point. She must have been crushed.
I will offer him my heartfelt condolences (should the time come and should it be proven appropriate) but until then, I will view this with a large helping of skepticism, if you don't mind.
RE: “Hussein did throw her under the BUS...”

That’s probably how she wrecked her hip!!!!!!!!!!!!
But seriously, many elderly don’t recover well from a broken hip for myriad reasons. That said, I don’t see how she could be in terrible shape with that and have been released from the hospital. Just call me SKEPTICAL.
“Keep in mind that over half of the people clicking this thread will be Democrat operatives or their willing accomplices in the MSM. Every nasty comment is going to be amplified and attributed to “typical” mean-spirited win-at-any-cost Republicans. It’s not fair. It’s not right. But that is the way it is going to be. So, if you want to say something mean and snarky, type it in the little white box and then hit the Little Red X instead of [Post]. It does not make any sense to be providing them ammunition.”
I have said nothing but the truth, let alone “mean” or “snarky.” Certainly nothing I would not repeat anywhere without ample proof of my facts. I certainly have no fear of the poor little dears (some of whom, most likely, would consider the post “snarky”) having their tender feelings hurt.
This would be a conversation I would LOVE to have publicly.
This is the same genius thinking that brought us the Chaffey Community Republican Women campaign flier that showed Mr. Obama’s face on a faux food stamp that also included watermelon and fried chicken images.
Put on your “target shoes” so you don't miss.
He told the reporters on his plane in about June that he and the family were going to Hawaii to let the kids have some “grandma time”.
Neither of the kids no Michelle went to see grandma.
Only Nobama went to her house, and except for the SS, there is no proof he even did that.
