Is This Any Way to Treat Your Deceased (When Will Barack Obama Bury Madelyn Dunham?

It's now been over nine full days since Madelyn Payne Dunham--Barack Obama's thrown-under-the-bus "typical White" grandmother who raised him--died.

Yet, still no funeral. That's a pretty odd--not to mention, disrespectful--way to treat a grandmother you claim you love and who raised you, regardless of whether you are President-elect of the United States or just an average citizen. Regardless of whether you told the world she was a "typical White" racist.

It was understandable when Dunham first passed away at about 11:00 p.m. on November 2nd that Obama didn't rush back for a service and burial for his grandmother. He was in the closing days of a Presidential election campaign.

They think I’m a little weird, but have taken with the idea. They like the idea of wearing the diamonds to special occassions, like if I am there for grandchildren births and so on.

Honestly, this is intruding into a family’s private situation and arrangements that strikes me as improper and petty. We have far bigger issues to take object to in Obama’s policies than when he has a funeral service for his grandmother.

These days, it seems most people are creamated, and famiies (as well as the ashes) are scattered. When my mother died in early January in Chicago, given that our family would have to travel from various points around the US, we decided to hold the service in late April when travel to/from Chicago would be more feasible. It was certainly no sign of disrespect to my mother.

I’m going to assume that Ms. Dunham was cremated and that Obama and his sister made arrangements when he was in HI the week before she died (if she didn’t do so herself beforehand).

We should all just butt out.

Do atheists believe in having funerals? There’s no rush if the body’s been cremated. And some people keep their loved one’s ashes on a shelf or in a purse or wherever these days. (yes, I know of people who carry dead animal ashes around in their purses. and dead animal and human ashes on a book shelf.)

Is anyone keeping a list of unusual things and events around Obama? Clinton had his death list, Obama needs a list. So far, there are a few unanswered questions, among them: his grandmother, his birth certificate, no medical data, school data, segments of history, etc., and he's just getting started.

Until I get the Stalinist-style midnight knock on the door, I'll be maintaining this:

I know it needs to be reorganized. I've got four years, unless I disappear!

She may have been creamated? In that case a memorial could be done months later.

Well unless all her children are dead, you wouldn’t expect a grandchild to arrange the funeral services. Was her daughter (Barack’s mom) the only child she had?

Yes. She was the only child. There's another grandchild, though, Obama's half-sister Maya, who lives in Hawaii. So maybe she and her husband are taking care of this.

More here.

As far as I can tell neither his wife or kids visited great grandma when they were on vacation in Hawaii or when she was dying. They probably won’t be at the funeral except as props if they do show at all.

I’m sure they counted her vote.

Her several votes. They always vote more then once.

It's in the genes.

They don't understand the words fair, ethical, & truth.

Narcisism

BTW, haven't most evil dictators been categorized with this disorder, and had poor childhoods with strong mother figures, abusive then non-existant fathers?
