His typical white grandmother was the VP of a bank. His grandparents were much more his family than their daughter was. he also went to a prestigious private school in Hawaii.
Yet, he didn’t hesitate to throw Grandma under the bus; while idolizing a father who abandoned him. Something is severely messed up with that man.
She became VP in 1970 and retired in 1986, so that would have meant high income during Obama's high school and college years.
Grandpa's a bit of a mystery. He went to work for Pratt's, a furniture store in the Honolulu area. He left them in 1967 and the branch closed in 1973.
So what was he doing later on? Was he a house husband? Some say he was a CIA operative, but you don't go from a quarter century selling furniture to being a spy. If he did have a job, that would also make a contribution to his grandson's tuition bills.
