It is a strange development, Obama’s sudden (but several days in advance) “urgent” trip.
It’s possible it could really have to do with his grandmother, but why be so vague about her condition? And if she is in her last days, why wait 3 days to go?
Just brainstorming here...remember there was that “friend” of his from high school who was in the news a few months back who asked him for money? Who knows. It is strange, though.
Yes it is strange.
I’m a sportswriter for a major daily newspaper. If this sort of situation developed with some backup quarterback or point guard - on the verge of winning a starting job - suddenly missing two practices to travel several time zones away and visit an ailing grandmother he has had little time for, the sports department would go into overdrive to find out what the real story was. I am no conspiracy guy, and this Andy Martin does apparently have a big-time ego, but THERE HAS TO BE MORE TO THE MARXIST’S DEPARTURE THAN IS BEING SAID.
The delayed departure is peculiar. It’s too bad there aren’t any real reporters left.
