Michelle Obama said a young Barack Obama learned to understand the sacrifices his grandmother made in raising him and the prejudices she endured as a woman ....And when she needed help, who stepped in? His grandmother, waking up early every morning to take a bus to her job at the bank,” she said.

He has an amazing memory to remember this. When he left for Indonesia, he was just 6 years and 2 days old.

When he retirned to Hawaii, his grandmother was vice-President of the bank. She also been VP of Mercer Island Bank, Washington from 1955, so her years as a lowly bank clerk in Hawaii after 1960 were probably short. Did I say he has an amazing memory?

He remembers his rasist grandmother acting like a typical white person expressing fears of being harrassed by black dudes at the bus stop.

He remembers his grandma living in guarded seclusion during his campaign

He remembers his grandmother’s death (no comment)
