When I read about this gal the only thing that occurs to me are Lillian Carter's words....

"When I look at my four children sometimes I say to myself,Lillian,you should have stayed a virgin."

I suspect she could have died any time in the last few days. Too bad this seems timed for maximum sympathy. Sorry. I don’t believe 0bama has a conscience. I believe he would use anything and everything to manipulate people. Prayers for Mrs.Dunham’s soul. Maybe she was a decent person.

If she blazed such a big trail, how come no one has ever heard of her?

From the article:

When he left them two years later, the Dunhams stepped in to help raise little “Barry,” so his mother could go back to college and get her degree in anthropology. They also looked after Barry during his fifth-grade year and again in high school, allowing him to attend the prestigious Punahou School with help from scholarships. His mother spent those years in Indonesia, her second husband’s homeland and the site of her field work as an anthropologist.

This is interesting. There has been some conflicting information about whether he was in Indonesia until age 10 or age 12. Maybe this slipped out; he came to Hawaii for grade 5 (age 10) and then went back to Indonesia until high school (age 14?). I think he tries as best he can to minimize the time he spent in Indonesia.

Is this a thread where we can only say nice things?

I don’t care about her politics. She was a woman, a citizen, who was not seeking the highest office in the land. I also will not blame her grandson’s views or character on her.

How come no one ever heard of her until NOW?

Shameless Obama trying to use his dead, white grandmother to better himself. No shame there ... . Look at how he treated ole Hitlery? Another “trail blazer”.
