I was first willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt but now...I don’t know. It is troubling that he hasn’t made it a priority to give his grandmother (who helped raise him while his mother was away) a proper burial. It seems cold and heartless.
Honestly, couldn’t he and his sister schedule a small family service, fly to Hawaii, have the service, and be back to the mainland the next day to further bask in the glow of his election?
Must be a “generation thing”. /s
yes, it would seem they could do this. However, I agree with you: he is heartless. And, he will have no feeling except power when he commits the Marxist acts he has long dreamed of when he assumes office in January.
God rest his grandmother’s soul; God have mercy on all of us.
(Gosh, I still think that's morbid. I don't know why. :( )
Honestly, this is intruding into a family’s private situation and arrangements that strikes me as improper and petty. We have far bigger issues to take object to in Obama’s policies than when he has a funeral service for his grandmother.
These days, it seems most people are creamated, and famiies (as well as the ashes) are scattered. When my mother died in early January in Chicago, given that our family would have to travel from various points around the US, we decided to hold the service in late April when travel to/from Chicago would be more feasible. It was certainly no sign of disrespect to my mother.
I’m going to assume that Ms. Dunham was cremated and that Obama and his sister made arrangements when he was in HI the week before she died (if she didn’t do so herself beforehand).
We should all just butt out.
