Well obviously the whole idea that Obama might somehow make an unnoticed trip to Indonesia (in a very unique plane full of reporters) is totally nutty. Of course that's not the most bizarre conspiracy theory on this thread.
Like hell .... he’s scrambling to get ANY certified birth certificate.
The Obama campaign has been trafficking in his grandparents with glossy mailings here in Pennsylvania by the Pensylvania State Education Association.
Voters in general, not just union members, are getting the mailings extolling his grandparents and the grandfather’s service in World War II.
They promote Obama with the phase “patriotism runs in his blood” citing the family history of the grandfather.
is that the grandma who snitched him off about being born in Kenya who's sick ?
If so I doubt she'll make it !
Toodle-loo Noob Number Two.....
Bump Dat...
Sometimes a sick grandmother is just a sick grandmother. Just sayin’.
I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more retarded FR thread than this one. A lot of people need to grow up.

I have to agree. No wonder we’re losing. This thread sounds like the DU wackos from 2000 who were whining about Bush & Cheney both living in TX. They were looking for ANY reason to get them out of the race....
Prayers for Gran and the family. Losing those closest to you is never easy. I lost both my parents in their 70’s and I could never visit longer than an hour, because they just couldn’t entertain longer than that - (Dad had AZ so Mom was a bit overburdened....)
Those of you with grandparents who are still living, please realize what a gift you have. I only knew my paternal grandfather, (Mom’s parents died before I was born) and not very well, as he lived across the country, close to my grandmother who was in a home with AZ (long before they knew what it was, or how to care for the patients) - so it was more of an asylum than a “home for the aging.”
Please, please, please.... do NOT take your grandparents or your parents for granted - or for that matter, ANYONE YOU LOVE. They can be gone in the blink of an eye.
Sorry for the pathos, I’m close to the Red Tent I guess.

Shhh, on the first post there, the second is on his grandma.
I read the statement. She was released late last week, but her health has deteriorated, and he’ll see her when?
Oh, and this doesn’t help either btw...

Back to my original subject rant:
I remember when Obama ‘left’ Trinity or ‘threw’ Wright under... he was vacationing with him for Easter with the family, no stop for grandma (I wondered why isn’t he preaching somewhere and why isn’t the one in church somewhere. Grandma was sick then as well). Then later he went without the wife and kids going up (I said WTH is going on with that family). Maybe his grandmother needs not only prayers but SS protection from him. Reporters, stake out the birth records spot. You would think with friends like his, he could get a credible document. Oh well. Again, prayers up for grandma.
There may be some subterfuge here. Perhaps he’s already on a plane for Hawaii, and didn’t want people to know for some reason.
Are you sure this is the right statement you put up?
“He ( Obama ) said, “The biggest mistake I made was not being at my mother’s bedside when she died.”
He went on to say, “She was in Hawaii in a hospital, and we didn’t know how fast it was going to take,
and I didn’t get there in time.”
How fast it was going to take? You changed that right?
I thought someone said he was writing his book about his father at the time and couldn’t be bothered.
I would keep my ears to the ground about a sudden large charity donation in Hawaii, money can buy silence as we all know. This is the breaker of the election, we need to start plugging in more toasters until it trips. Sarah should harp on about "Americans" and start playing "Born in the USA" over and over.
If there is subterfuge it has to do with Andy Martin being in Hawaii right now and requesting a court order to release his birth certificate. I hope is grandmother is fine, I also wonder why he didn’t go see her last week while in hospital and why, if she is so ill he is waiting till Thursday and only staying Friday. 2 + 2 never equals 4 with Obama.
I don’t believe DU doesn’t have anything, maybe it cycled already. But they do have McCain linked to Iran-Contra on top.

Sigh, guess it’s time to bring out the Iraq contracts and the sharia bank scandal.
I pray she is OK too, but I strongly suspect this is a publicity stunt.
What this allows Obama to do is to claim sympathy from all the harmful ads that will be run against him this week by the 527 groups and prevents the McCain campaign from attacking him will full force. Of course he will be backed up by the MSM. Why is he waiting till Thursday to travel on learning about it on Monday?
How is he traveling? Is his campaign jet ETOPS-certified, or does he need to travel on a commercial airliner?
Evidently, the American people are presumed to be more careful to check qualifications than bureaucrats.
The Founding Fathers knew better than that, and established a republic. This is a sign that the republic is desd.
