He should have at least invited his grandmother out to dinner. He is not a very considerate grandson in my opinion.

spent an hour with his 85-year-old maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who helped raise him.

Having an elderly (99) grandmother in our family, I can understand why he spend only an hour with her. Sometimes people that age have a hard time relating with people for that long.

He was not accompanied by his wife, Michelle, and two daughters.

This is very telling and disturbing. Something is very wrong here if the messiah didn't bring her grandchildren to at least visit for a few moments

This is a lady who worked as a VP for the Bank of Hawaii and is only 85 y/o..... someone that capable does not go down mentally that fast.

Sadly, that's not true. Though your grandma looks fantastic!! There are two people close to us in their 60s that are now going through some form of dementia, both of whom were intelligent and held high level jobs.

I am thinking maybe Obama-Grandma has dementia. That is the only reason not to bring her to the hotel for a holiday with his family. With dementia, she might become VERY upset at the new surroundings. It might be an act of kindness to keep her where she feels most comfortable.

But he should come out and tell the world about it. So many American families have had to deal with this problem.

I shouldn't even think this but do his kids know his mom was white?

Of course they do. And the kids have seen his grandmother before.

One hour huh? Apparently not a social visit. Then Obama most likely was after information from grandma.

On hour after 19 months absence. One measly little hour.

And the granddaughter in law doesn’t visit, neither do the great grandbabies.

This speaks volumes folks. Of what, I don’t know. But it sure says something.

The same apartment she lived in when he lived with her no less.

Yep, he can get a $1.6 mansion, but Grandma still lives in the apartment she lived in when she raised him.

The SAME apartment?

Nice of the Obomination t be so grateful when they shared the little they had with him. If they were so well to do, they wouldn't be living there.

BTW, the 1.6 million dollar house the trash live in was subsidized by his buddy going to prison. He didn't pay full price. He had a deal cut.

Yep, the article noted it was where he grew up.

“After delivering a campaign speech, Sen. Barack Obama’s first stop on his Hawaii vacation was a visit to his grandmother’s Makiki apartment, where he also lived during his youth.”

BUMP. I was looking for this story to go with the new story on grandma. I wonder why the wife and kids didn’t visit while on vacation?
