The woman of the right in this photo is Obama's real grandmother, Madelyn. She's the one the campaign is hiding. I don't know what Obama calls her.

If anyone else running for president locked his granny away and refused to allow her to be seen, would the media complain?
You betcha.
But America's media have supinely allowed Barry Obama to pretend he has no white relatives. He has paraded his step-grandmother in Kenya, who never saw him until the 1980s, as his "granny," and locked the grandmother who actually raised him away in a closet.
Now, the Chicago Tribune reports "the Obama campaign declined to make [his white grandmother] available."
Is she sick? Not apparently. Bedridden? Hospitalized? Not apparently...
What a disgrace.
And like whimpering puppies the media do not protest, complain or demand access.
We are afraid to confront Obama's reality, so we pretend that reality is not there, even though it is staring us in the face. Anyone remember "Miss Lillian?"
We finally smoked out a picture of Obama's sister in the Chicago Tribune. She had said she was his "adviser" but refused to be photographed. Did she plan to enter the White house with a paper sack over her head?
Madelyn Dunham raised Barry Obama. It was probably her money that got him admitted to the prestigious Punahou School in Hawaii and paid his fees. Her efforts were formative... And yet Madelyn is being hidden away.
All because she is white and Barry Obama is a "black" candidate for president.
What a lie. What hypocrisy. What cowardice. And this man wants to sit in the Oval Office?
Ironically, locking Madelyn away is going to hurt Obama more with African-Americans than with whites.
Whites delight in drinking Obama's Kool-Aid. Reason and reality will only gradually descend on them.

Obama doesn’t seem like a loving grandson in either of the pictures you posted. In the first, the grandfather appears to be putting his arm around him. He sits passively while the grandmother tries to lean into an embrace he’s unwilling to give. In the second, she’s embracing him. He won’t trouble himself to put an arm around her. These pictures are making me feel something for/about him that I hadn’t felt before.
Obama was very lucky that they took him in.
His mother and her second husband moved on...
His biological father walked away, then died.
Obama might have been raised in a Muslim Indonesian orphanage ?
Sarah is a lifelong Muslim and was quoted saying, “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith.”
She was one of the many later wives of Sr. ?

Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director on the board of a nonprofit organization that granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a “catastrophe.”

Thanks
I am not surprised to hear this at all, unless she was an physically/mentally abusive, alcoholic drug addict.
I know that many of us automatically assume all politicians to be liars. Even so...

“I was certainly oblivious to a lot of what he references,” Hale said ...
“If you look at our teams, that year I was the only white guy on the starting five.
You had three part-Hawaiians, one Filipino and me.”
.
His maternal grandparents are from Kansas and I understand the white cousins who still live in the state came out for him when he was campaigning here.
White people from Hawaii have told me that Hawaii is a pretty racist place with rampant anti-white sentiment. Not a laid-back, multiracial paradise at all. So based on what I’ve been told, I think Obama’s description is more accurate than Hale’s. The Hawaiian racial environment probably contributed heavily to Obama’s radicalization too.
Some FReepers here are saying that his grandmother is 90+ & it’s understandable that he doesn’t trot her out before the media. Fine. But nearly all the family pictures we’ve seen from him & whatever he’s said about his family always seem to be focused on his non-white family members & not on the whites who raised him.
“Muslim Indonesian oil manager”
Wow, this is interesting, considering Obabma’s Muslim background is off limits, ignored, denied.
