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. Obama -- escorted by Secret Service and accompanied by a few campaign staff and a pool of reporters and camera crews -- arrived at about 4:10 p.m. yesterday and spent an hour with his 85-year-old maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who helped raise him. He was not accompanied by his wife, Michelle, and two daughters.

Anything with Larry Johnson’s name attached to it usually stinks to high heaven.
"Granny, I hardly knew ye."
I don’t get this - an hour and wife and kids are absent. If her place is a problem, I bet he has a nice suite in a nice hotel and grandmother can be brought there to spend some real time with the family for the vacation week.
He did say they needed to see her....an hour, with press and campaign personnel.
I concur with those who think something is very odd.
Is he embarrassed by his other than black grandmother and doesn't want his wife and children to meet her?
**********************
This is very strange.
“Im not a conspiracy kind of guy, but this is suspicious. What grandmother wouldnt want to see her grandchildren? So far I have thought the Birth Certificate stuff was much ado about nothing. But for some reason this alone visit makes me suspicious.”
Correct.
No press to accompnay him? How outrageous! <sarcasm off
Grandma is WHITE.
He doesn’t want his kids around “typical white folk”.
He's meeting with her, most likely to encourage her to keep quiet about the real Obama. He doesn't’ want her dispelling all his lies. Buttering her up?
My guess is they aren’t very close. If Barry says she is the typical white person, it probably means she wasn’t too thrilled when he went on to identify himself as black vs. white during a pretty militant era for blacks. I doubt he wanted much to do with her then, or now.
"Granny, I hardly knew ye either."
This guy Obama lies with even more ease than the skanky John Edwards.
Ques. How do you know when Obama is lying?
Ans. When his lips are moving!
This could have been a grand photo op to show how INCLUSIVVE he is towards his WHITE Grandma and how his family loves white folks too. All this secrecy makes me very suspicious. I hope nothing happens to Grandma ....
Me thinks that the Obomination wants us to live like his family in Africa while he lives in the plantation house.
So he wanted his girls to meet and spend time with their grandmother, and now decides to see her by himself.
What’s up with that, Barry?
“This is one strange dude, and strange things are happening with his family. Something is rotten in Denmark, I mean Hawaii. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, needs to come out, and when it does our country will be saved from this manchurian candidate dude.”
Excuse me, aren’t you forgetting something, this is a democrat, they are not required to tell the truth. (sarcasm)
You are right on the “strange dude” thingy though. Just read a little about him and its obvious.
Another thought, if he wins the election, he will be the first president from Kenya or Indonisia or where ever he is from.
Or Barak Hussein Obama?
Ques: How can you tell that Obama is lying?
Ans: Half the country can not.
If nothing else, I think it makes him look like an ungrateful turd. He and his family may very well be the only living relatives the woman has.
