even to the point of pretending not to have interacted with a guy who shared his address for 3 years.

Can you spare me a link on this? I must have missed this. Thanks.

Exactly - if Great Grandma is dying, why wouldn't the great granddaughters be at her side? Unless they have zero relationship with her. And if it's true as Obama’s spokesperson stated on the plane that she is like a Mother to Obama, why wouldn't Michelle be their at his side during such a difficult time?

Maybe he'll get support from those he has received support from for the last 20 years, Rev Wright and Bill Ayers via phone.

And Gibb's LIED on the plane yesterday. “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.”

He wasn't raised in Hawaii. He was raised in Hawaii AND INDONESIA by his Grandparents, his Mother and his Step Father Soetero. His campaign lies like it's going out of style.

But don't worry, Reggie Love will be there to support Obama. Michelle will be in Ohio, turning off more voters. Obama’s trip is about the lawsuit while using his Grandmother's poor health as cover. Why didn't he visit her when she was in the hospital? Maybe she told him she didn't want him there, but he could have left his St Louis event, arrived in HI in less than 8 hours, and returned. He could have slept on the flights.

Obama’s the most secret conniving politician in our nation's history and it is strange that Michelle is never with her husband. She may never see his Grandmother again, and why wouldn't she want to be there to comfort Obama during such a difficult time? The Obama’s are just plain weird.

Sounds like his campaign got the heads up to get back to HI on last Saturday.

They then planned to visit HI on Thursday and Friday, while using his ailing Grandmother as cover. Decided to fake appearances at IA and WI - hoping to throw McCain off in the interim and make their HI trip appear as a last minute decision late Monday. When in reality, they made the decision on Saturday due to the lawsuit.

Ailing Grandmother in this context is the analogue to a pre-1960s young high school girl going off for several months to visit her sick aunt.

I hear ya buddy!

Grandma, let me show you this new pillow I brought you from Chicago. Now, now; quit squirming.”

I would think most likely it is

Wow, thanks. Have not seen this in “the news”. Can’t see how anyone still believes their association is no big deal. Community organizing sure is profitable.

I can’t...work. I believe the rally is at Bicentennial Park, which if it is, should attract all the dregs of South Florida. Downtown Miami is pretty trashy.

1) So, if Obama’s grandma was hospitalized last week, why didn’t we hear Barack say so during his debate with McCain or on the campaign trail [”I want to send a big kiss and a hug to my grandma Madelyn, who is hospitalized in Honolulu today”]?

2) Grandma Dunham is out of the hospital now, and Obama is waiting three more days (until Thurs. 10/24) to go fly over 8 hours to get to Honolulu to see her?

3) Why couldn’t Michelle fly to Hawaii last week and stay with or keep company to the most influential woman in her husband’s life? Is it because she’s a ‘typical white person’?

4) This story reeks.

PRAYERS UP, GRANDMA DUNHAM! DON’T DRINK THE TEA!

But he says her health has deteriorated to the point where her situation is very serious.

If she is in such a serious situation, why is bHo waiting FOUR days to rush to her side? Is hoping to wrap up the funeral, while appearing to do the right thing all at the same time?

It sure does reek and somebody in Hawaii needs to be posted, watching the door to the courthouse.

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.

Threads like this are what keep me from recommending FR to other people.

Wonder if Grandma has the same symptoms Corsi had upon return from Kenya.

“Citing the family’s desire for privacy,”

I say we give this family the same amount of privacy that the DNC and media have given Sarah Palin and her family, esp. her little baby Trig.

I would just like to add for the moral monitors out there, no one on this thread is wishing ill toward the Grandma. From what I read not one person is wishing any harm to her. What I am seeing and concur with is the perception that Obama will exploit any situation or anyone for his personal gain. He simply is not believable. I don’t think I, or others, need to “grow up” for expressing that sentiment.
