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.
When he went to see her he knew she was dying and yet he didnt take her Great grandchildren with him , nor his wife.
He didnt make the funeral. Didnt have the time. Went down later and tossed her ashes off a cliff. Cremation is cheaper than a funeral.
What a phony this guy is.
Re: “He finally visited her a few weeks before she died (without the wife and kids, who may have never met her)...’
I don’t know if this is accurate but here is a report that O and family met with his grandmother:
“During their vacation, Obama and his family visited Dunham at her apartment nearly every day.”

Does anybody have other reports or any contrary reports?
