I’ll bet she can understand this;

President Barack Obama said his grandmother’s hip-replacement surgery during the final weeks of her life made him wonder whether expensive procedures for the terminally ill reflect a “sustainable model” for health care.

Obama said “you just get into some very difficult moral issues” when considering whether “to give my grandmother, or everybody else’s aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they’re terminally ill.

“That’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues,” he said in the April 14 interview. “The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health- care bill out here.”

Obama’s staged events are about as important to America as another episode of Days of Our Lives, but probably not as interesting. That's too bad since everyone involved in that disgusting event rehearsed their parts more than a soap opera actor puts into their roles.

That might have actually been awesome.

"I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for granny and curse Emmanuel; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that granny's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that panel, you need me on that panel."
