“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?
“not an Obama fan”
Me neither (double, triple neither, in fact) but one never knows about these things. It could just be that the woman was too sick to see anyone but the closest family members. Kids can be tough on the sick and visiting the sick can be tough on the kids.
We had some stuff like this in my own family, and there was some conflict over it. All families have issues like this from time to time.
As others have said, these are not the problems with Obama.
And while I do want our side to learn to play hardball a lot better with them dems, and while Bush’s and McCain’s and Palin’s experiences have proven there is no such thing as reaching across the aisle, I also don’t want our side to descend to the level that the left and the media have reached over the past 8 years.
But, as some have pointed out, there’s a wide area between “respectful disagreement” and “gutter smears”.
