Obama invokes grandmother's death to support ObamaCare, but failed to attend her service

President Obama brought up his grandmother's death to convince people Democrats don't want to 'pull the plug' on the elderly.

You may remember Presidential candidate Obama left the campaign trail on October 24, 2008 to fly to Hawaii and visit his terminally ill grandmother, Madelyn Dunham.

Madelyn Dunham passed away two days before the election.

President-elect Barak Obama decided to rest in Chicago after his grandmother's death.

Madelyn Dunham was cremated. A memorial service was held on November 15, 2008, but Barack Obama and his close family members were missing.

It does beg the question of why someone else (In the Dem Machine) couldn't have done it.

Not to get documents that might prove Obama constitutionally ineligible for the presidency or that Barack Obama Sr. was not his father.

Obama could not leave the job to the Hawaii party or even his campaign staff. Delegating the job at all would have left open the possibility of the papers being leaked to a vengeful PUMA unafraid to use them.

No, this was one job Obama had to do himself, even if it was apparently beneath a presidential candidate's dignity to personally rummage through his grandmother's house just weeks before the election.

Will you tell me which pages in which book those quotes are on? I want to pass them on to some family members, and I’d like to be specific about where they can be found.

Immediately following that trip, his birth records were sealed by the state of Hawaii.

You know, when talking about Bozo's BC we should stick to facts, not rumors we have heard. Bozo's BC is sealed according to law and it was sealed, by law, as soon as it was recorded by the State of Hawaii. Governor Lingle didn't seal his records, they were sealed back in 1961 or whatever year his mother, or some other relative, recorded it with the state of Hawaii.

The BS about Hawaii sealing his BC after his trip there is just, BS. What did happen after his trip is the story that officials had seen the BC, which implied that it was legitimate, except that isn't exactly what they said.

The thing is the BC thing is hard enough to push without rumors clouding up the story, rumors that are easy for the other side to refute.

Maybe he had other more important plans, golfing, vacation or diner date.

Absolutely, so I googled and found the story was posted at World Net Daily, a source that is used quite often here.

I have to admit, though, I don't fact check news articles I post, rather let them stand for themselves.

If you disagree with the article, fact check it and post your source article.

My apparent source
