wouldn't surprise me, but priorities are priorities...

She was known for helping out the family when the first daughters were born and received a nice passage in his first book, yet President Barack Obama’s late aunt wasn’t important enough for him to skip his golf game.
When Zeituni Onyango died two weeks ago, President Obama helped pay for the funeral expenses, and sent a note. Instead of attending her funeral, the New York Times reports he went golfing instead.
“Weeping before a polished wood coffin at her wake this past Saturday, they described Ms. Onyango, the half sister of the president’s father, as ‘the spirit of the Obama family’ and talked about raising money to send her body back to Kenya. Mr. Obama helped pay funeral expenses and sent a condolence note, Ms. Onyango’s family members said, but the president did not attend, as he was golfing,” Jason Horowitz wrote in the New York Times.
The newspaper delves into the strained relationship that the president has with his extended family.
Obama’s half-brother, Malik Obama, flew in for the funeral services but didn’t expect to see his famous half-brother.
While Malik Obama was once close to the president, his political future has strained their relationship.
“Right now, I would say that things have changed.”
Just so. When Obama went to Hawaii to pay a last visit to his dying grandmother—and perhaps to speed up the process, or to search the house for a paper copy of his birth certificate that has been said to be there—he neglected to take his wife or daughters, even though this would be their last chance to meet her.
He did this, even though back then they were pretending to be one big happy family that vacationed together.
It’s pretty clear that he doesn’t give a damn about any of his relatives, or his wife, or his daughters. Or, probably, his dog. It’s too much trouble for him even to PRETEND to care.

That’s the one! Thanks.
What a narcissistic, uncaring bastard. Betcha nobama is jealous.
no doubt... learning at the knee of the master
Oh, you mean illegal aliens and welfare cheats?
His aunt was just a prop for him to use as needed. The prop is now dead, Obama doesn’t go to pay respects to a dead prop, just as he wouldn’t pay respects to a broken teleprompter.
His “half” family. ;)
I can’t wait to NOT attend BOs funeral.
The illegal alien was his child’s nanny...that’s why he brought her here. The bum should show some respect her.

After the Islamic prayers; Golf is Obama’s most enticing pleasure...
I think he needs to find a golf course next to a mosque. But preferably a military golf course, so he can continue to kick all of the usual users off the course while he plays.
At least the man is consistent with his priorities, come international crisis or relative’s funeral — a round of golf wins out every time.
Yeah, he’s consistent.
