"Senator Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has always been one of the most important people in his life," Gibbs said in a statement. "Along with his mother and his grandfather, she raised him in Hawaii from the time he was born until the moment he left for college."
I thought he lived with his mother until he was about 10 yrs old & THEN was sent to live with his Grandmother.
So why are they saying Grandmother raised him from the time he was born in Hawaii?
Liberty thank you very much for this latest news.
Yes, one would wonder why he is going to Hawaii now and didn’t when grandma was in the hospital.
You’re right. I thought he went to school in Indonesia for several years when he was young??
Someone is trying to rewrite history AGAIN!
You betcha!
Um, good luck trying to contact your pal nederland again. Seems to have already vanished from FR. Hang around a bit longer before you align yourself with a race-baiting troll. Just looking out for you, newbie. It's what we do around here. Have a nice evening.
Doubt Hawaii is a swing state...
Good luck trying to beat some manners into this crowd. What Im reading here is incredibly rude. I dont think you can say anything to change it. Weve gone past political disagreement into outright hatred. Its completely out of line.
Agreement-troll-heard-from-after-principal-troll's-been-zotted alert! :-)
I’m a bit worried about the Oct 29 prime time event.
I ask myself what kind of stunt will he pull? Will he try to deliver an Oct surprised for McCain?
I asked the exact same thing in post #337. Obviously I don't know, but maybe they don't want to call attention to that any more? It's simply not true.
Someone is trying to rewrite history AGAIN!"
Looks like it came from Obama's campaign....Robert Gibbs told reporters aboard Obama's plane - so the 'raising him from birth' is what they want us to believe...hoping we'll forget what we heard before.
Kind of like 'don't believe your lying eyes!!'
Thanks for the kind words. The adoption process really hasn’t been too bad. Thank God my wife is organized.
It is funny (or sad) that Obama couldn’t adopt from China because he probably couldn’t produce the documentation.
From your linked article:
“Obama’s sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, declined last week to comment on Obama’s speech about Wright or his reference to their grandmother or their grandmother’s attitude on race.
Dunham has repeatedly declined to comment to reporters. Dunham did want to be interviewed for this story, Soetoro-Ng said, but declined because it would be unfair to other media who have made requests.”
This article was run today and they said she really wanted to do the interview last week... nothing said about her being ill at that time. Sounds like the grandaughter is keeping her’s and granny’s lips sealed.
He’s got to kill off all the witnesses and payoff all the people that have anything to do with that darn Birth Certificate.
Grandma didn’t get sick until Andy Martin showed up in Hawaii today.
Now its a big emergency to get over there. I feel really bad for Grandma as I’m sure this is it for here.
Is this the Grandma who says obambi was born in Kenya?
sure...she is ‘so important’, Barack did not visit her while she was in the hospital LAST WEEK!! Something is definately fishy here! Also, if it is suddenly ‘serious’, why doesn’t he go NOW?
Not buying it folks!

I am sure that Axelrod and company want to leave a good, lasting impression a week before the election. They are marketing him like soap poweder. Or they could be using it to counteract anticipated attacks against him.
