Actually, he was appropriately dressed for a Hawaiian funeral I guess. But I still wonder why he doesn’t have to follow Federal EPA regulations on disposing of a dead body (ashes are still required to be out three nautical miles).

What is good for thee is not good for me I guess with the Obama’s.

As Churchill once warned: "If you have ten-thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law."

I think we have passed that threshold exponentially. Merry Christmas.

You can see the timeline and Obama's merging of the low income housing with Project Vote. Obama's 1994 Vote efforts got Clinton into the White House.

>i>She was 'the first woman vice-president of a local bank' after starting out as a secretary to help pay the costs of his unexpected birth, he said.

Was he supposed to be born on August 4, 1961 but came early?

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Obama knows nothing of American culture.

According to The US Government and the veterans administration, The remains of his mother could have been buried with his grandfather in a casket,

Burial Space: This cemetery has space available for cremated remains. We may be able to accommodate casketed remains in the same gravesite of previously interred family members.

I can only imagine what his grandmother felt when she buried her husband in such a place as the Punchbowl, a national cemetery second only to Arlington, in its history and magnificence, as well as the names of those that are buried there. Names like Ernie Pyle....

Consider the story of this young woman as you read how easy it would have been for the President elect to have his grandmother respectfully buried with her husband, instead of tossed into the sea bucket and all...
