“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”.
Your point is well taken. However, his ‘story’ or portrayal of Toots does not necessarily jive with other reports of her condition.
Why was the ‘banking feminist legend’ kept silent since the 2004 interview when she referred to BHO sr as “Straaaaaaaange?”
Her brother reported flying to see her last month for her birthday.
He reported that she celebrated by having a cigarette & a glass of wine.
This was found on a newswire after the election.
No one is saying that she was not a very ill woman, but the lack of family togetherness during the final days strikes many as a bit odd.
