Did Obama return to Hawaii to attend his grandmother's funeral? I don’t recall hearing anything about this if he did. How is he going to respect the American people when he can’t even respect the woman who helped raise him?

Madelyn Dunham died just two days before the election at the age of 86.

I thought I'd read that she turned 87 in late October.

granny wasn’t a muslim- more like an atheist

no hurry for a funeral, she ain’t going nowhere anyway!

[realcleanguy]

maybe the poison

[realcleanguy]

I think it’s suspicious

[gracesdad]

I think you could have determined the answer just with a simple Internet search.

Another newbie stupid vanity!!! How do you know they are not bring her body here newbie.

The vanity vs. new article ratio expectation may need to be adjusted for the next few years. I doubt there will be much in the way of negative articles.

Thanks about it, traditional news has a majority Dem customer base. Øbama sent a strong message ejecting the McCain-endorsing papers on Halloween.

If they want to keep their customers, their supply of articles must meet the demand. The customer demand for them in positive, feel good puff pieces exalting The One™.

Why would he feel the need to attend the funeral of someone he had whacked (to keep her from revealing any damning secrets, and to garner some sympathy votes)?

The only reason he went back to HI in the first place, was to sign some documents in person so that his birth records could officially be kept sealed. The HI Governor stated that fact shortly after he left, if I recall.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this stuttering radical nutcase, and serial Chicago-machine thug DO ANYTHING to get into, and maintain, power.

Did michelle and the girls even visit with Granny when they were in Hawaii for vacation? I never read about that - just him going alone.

[WVNan]

Actually, I have wondered if she is actually dead. I’m thinking the whole sick and dead grandma is very convenient for keeping investigators from getting to her. Funny how the birth cert. was sealed right after he left the island, and granny was the only person living who could now answer the question, and she was getting senile. Might spill too much info. (the tinfoil hat fits nicely)

We have not yet run out of substantive issues with which to disagree with him - this nonsense is neither required nor helpful.

Thanks. Agree.

You said — “The vanity vs. new article ratio expectation may need to be adjusted for the next few years. I doubt there will be much in the way of negative articles.”

All the better then. We can comment on the excessive “fawning” over Obama and also correct the wrong information and assumptions and/or mistaken policy decisions being made, and so on and so forth.

There’s going to be no shortage of news articles to comment on...

Go outside and get some exercise.

Saying stuff like this is like the moonbats accusing Todd Palin of fathering Trig with his daughter.

We’ve got bigger fish to fry, with a lot more evidence.

[BluegrassBlogger]

Kiss it bro.... just asking a simple question. If it were so stupid why did you take the time to respond?

You seem like my fater-in-law. Everytime his prefered sports team looses a game he is pi$$ed off for days on end. Cheer up dude and get the pickle out of your butt.

[AmericanVictory]

That was no necessary prop. It would have required genuine feelings.

[YankeeGirl]

I believe he was busy at the time. Ya’ think?

For heaven’s sake, what was he supposed to do?

I understand there is a memorial service planned for the near future which I assume he will attend.

I can’t stand the guy, but criticizing him for that is just a little ridiculous. My understanding is that his grandparents pretty much raised him; his dad was absent and his mom was flaky. It must have been difficult for him not to be able to be there.

[merry10]

I am not thrilled with Obama either but my gosh...some of this is getting silly. After she died, the family decided to have a private service at a later date. That makes sense to me; maybe she wanted to be cremated.

“I can’t stand the guy, but criticizing him for that is just a little ridiculous. My understanding is that his grandparents pretty much raised him; his dad was absent and his mom was flaky. It must have been difficult for him not to be able to be there.”

Agree. Being elected president would keep someone slightly busy.
Silly comments like on this thread, just marginalizes our movement...

“Oh, please. Just because we’ve had a setback is no reason to panic. We have not yet run out of substantive issues with which to disagree with him - this nonsense is neither required nor helpful.”

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Please, for the love of God, let us focus on the issues that REALLY matter. I am so so tired of hearing anger over issues like Obama’s dog, or the overdone birth certificate conspiracy.

These issues do absolutely NOTHING to advance the conservative agenda, and instead make us look like the whiny little baby liberals that we have hated for the past 8 years.

“I also think it’s highly suspicious that he did not take his daughters to see their great-grandmother just before she died.”

Again, not an Obama fan, but he was just there on vacation with his family over the summer. I bet there are plenty of people on this board who want their kids to remember their grandparents more healthy than when they last saw them. My mother did not take me to Massachusetts in 1979 to see my grandfather before he died; does that mean there was something suspicious?
