Also, there's an extra tidbit that I haven't seen anywhere else. Probably just Pravdian paranoia, but worth a read anyway:
But beyond all of that controversy, there is one subject in this man’s activities that is truly astounding: There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that his beloved grandmother actually died on the day before the election as his campaign said she did. He said he would attend her funeral “In a few days”. He never did. Then he said he would have a funeral for her around the end of the year. What kind of person keeps their grandmother’s body on ice for two months? What kind of a person would play on the death of his grandmother to win “the sympathy vote”? Where is the proof that she died when she said she did? Normally, we could simply learn from the local coroner of a well known person’s death. But the only public comment made by the Honolulu Medical Examiner, who acts as coroner in Honolulu, Hawaii was, “We didn’t work that case.”
DING DING DING We have the winning post!!
We were busy trying to hammer him into a political mold, (one which happens to fit, IMO), but the obvious, (that all politicians are con men, only statesmen are not) eluded us all at a fundamental level.
Is there an English edition of Pravda I could subscribe to? The Los Angeles Slimes is more pro-BHO than his own campaign materials and website.
Yes, the deceased Grandma thing is creepy.
Stunning turn of events..
Cancelled my subscription to the LAT on Nov. 5, and told the supervisor it was due to their flagrant disregard for journalism, and being in tank for Barry O..
Now....
where can I subscribe to Pravda?
What next -- real news in Izvestia?
Where y'bin?
It's too late for words .. too late for legislation .. too late for all the easy stuff .. Now it is hard .... very hard.

I didn't read the article, and I am certainly glad you pointed this out!
I get so frustrated with myself because I try to read and stay informed, and still a lot gets past me.
We must protect FreeRepublic at all/whatever cost.
**”It is! How did we miss the con-man angle before?”**
Fast “Eddie” from Chicago? I called him that long ago!
Blind squirrel finds acorn, film at 11.
OK so we know he is a con man. The real scary thing is 60+ million people in this country voted for him. Think about that one!
Cree-Pee!
During the war in Kosovo Pravda was one of the best news sources.
Skip the they know a marxist, but maybe they saw something the rest of Europe didn't during the campaign? Wonder what Russians on the street think, you'd think they'd have preferred "pacifist" Barry over McCain and all the probs w/Georgia, Iran (Russia seems to support them) and the missile shield in Poland.
Lastly, if that school record is genuine, what would be the motive of putting Honolulu on it if it might not be true or why would it have mattered at the time?
Maybe I should ping you to post #22, in case you missed this paragraph from Pravda.
