Why Isn't Obama Going or Taking His Family to Grandmother's Funeral?

Posted on 11/06/2008 8:54:27 AM PST by BlueStateBlues

If Obama loved his grandmother so much, why isn't he going to her funeral? And taking his children to see her off?

I think it extremely odd that he did not take his children to visit their great-grandmother before she died. Extremely odd.

Because Zero is a big shot now! He does not have to bother shedding croc tears anymore...not until 2012.

The election’s over. He won. He doesn’t care.

What proof do you have that he’s NOT going to her funeral? Searching Google News, I find only vague references that he will be going.

Do you have a source?

I read somewhere that they were going to have a private memorial service later. She was most likely cremated

I even emailed Fox news to see what they knew about the burial of Grandma Dunham. THIS IS REALLY WEIRD FOLKS.

Obama needs to address this issue. His lies are breathtaking.

Did Michelle and/or the kids ever visit her? I doubt if it suits Michelle’s angry black woman agenda for her kids to realize they are not black but biracial.

It would be fun to take a peek into their photo albums - there are probably a few empty spaces right now.

The pics I’ve seen of him and his grandmother doesn’t promote fuzzy familial emotion.

Would you attend the funeral of a typical dead white person?

That what I wonder. I think if he did, they were on bad terms. Why are there no family photos of her with him and his family? The only photo of granny that I’ve seen goes back to his Columbia days.

Because she was White.

Because he’s attending OUR funeral.

Was there even one scheduled?

My wife's grandfather, a dedicated unbeliever, specifically willed that he be cremated and not buried and that there be no wake, no funeral, no headstone, no memorial service and that his second wife should - unaccompanied by any other family members - quickly dump his ashes in the ocean.

Given the general attitude of the Dunham family to normal social customs, a lapsed Unitarian Universalist like Obama's grandmother may well have left similar instructions.

I was thinking that this morning. Strange, indeed. Poor woman. Hope she’s found peace. :-/

If I had to guess, I’d say he has probably been estranged from her for years. The back and forth was a dog and pony show.

Granny wasn't exactly overjoyed to find out she raised a community organizer and black activist

She allowed no photos of herself and Obama for the last 25 years. This shows estrangement

Obama will win points with lots of blacks if he skips granny's funeral thus disrespecting the white side of the family
