"I just lost my grandmother last year. I know what it's like to watch somebody you love, who's aging, deteriorate and have to struggle with that,"

I just can't let that one go so easily . . .

" . . . watch somebody you love . . ." . . . uh . . . I thought that he never went to see her. He finally visited her a few weeks before she died (without the wife and kids, who may have never met her), so he didn't exactly watch her die.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appeared that he had ignored her for years, before having to make a last minute bedside visit. I always wanted the Press to investigate that. After all, the woman was, in effect, his mother more than his grandmother. It struck me as bizarre that they weren't closer.

I suspect his visit was for one of two reasons:

1. To act as her "death committee" and tell them to pull the plug on her. He was pretty busy campaigning . . . and it was going to be very inconvenient if she lingered around. And God forbid if he got elected and someone actually got to her and asked her questions about his past. She might have told the truth.

2. To sanitize her home of any incriminating documents. For all we know, she had all of her daughter's personal effects and paperwork . . . marriage license, passport, divorce papers, adoption papers, Kenyan birth certificate . . .

Honestly, I was pretty appalled that he didn't return to HI to attend a memorial service. This guy is such a fraud.

Was “Toots” denied care?

Did any insurance company refuse her treatment, raise her rates or cancel her policy?

Would Obamacare have saved her from her Cancer?

If not, then how is this pertinent?

If anything, Obamacare would have denied her that new titanium hip, and/or hastened her demise from the cancer that would no doubt be left untreated.

I guess that way, he wouldn’t have had to suffer the anguish of watching her deteriorate.

I am always confused at how those who can AFFORD to help relatives with health care costs, DON’T, but are often among the loudest for the government to provide it...

Hey 0bummer - actions speak louder than words. You could have helped old Grandma - you let her die (under the bus?)..

I don’t think the expression: “...pulling the plug on grandma” is a winner for him. It’s kinda creepy.

"When you start making arguments like that, that's simply dishonest—especially when I hear the arguments coming from members of Congress in the other party who, turns out, sponsored similar provisions," Obama said.

SHOVE IT HUSSEIN. YOU HAD ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD TO CARE FOR YOUR GRANDMOTHER. WE WON'T HAVE THAT UNDER YOU COMMUNIST PLAN.

Joker ought to quit acting like he's a victim.

"...In a debate in which he often sounds professor-like, Obama spoke with a rare bit of emotion that seemed to counter that of vocal health care opponents as he referenced the beloved grandmother who helped raise him and who he called "Toot."..."

What a steaming pant-load. I wonder which professor-like Obama it was, this one who referred to his beloved grandmother as "Toot" (hmmm....)

Or, perhaps it is this Marxist professor-like guy, with a chalkboard of scribbles straight out of Rules for Radicals

He took issue with "the notion that somehow I ran for public office or members of Congress are in this so they can go around pulling the plug on grandma."

Arguing the absurd exception..............TURN SIX ALREADY!!!!

I saw the footage of this on Fox earlier, and my initial reaction was that he is totally detached. For him to make a quip about “pulling the plug on grandma” within breaths of mentioning his own grandmother’s death is NOT normal, and made me shudder.

The question was, in effect, “Are there panels that weight the value of a human life against economic considerations?”

Obama’s answer: “I really felt bad when my grandmother died.”

This guy never answers questions with reference to the evidence. He just deflects them.

Wasn’t that his Racist Granny? Now he doesn’t have to worry about her rationing, what about gramps or his Kenyan half brother he won’t send $20 to?

Pray for America

This is “Queen for a Day” sob story not a health care debate. I got a hang nail story that will tear your eyes out.

So he wiped the tire tracks off old granny and pulled her out for public viewing once more?
