LOL! It’s almost like “Weekend at Bernie’s.”
And what do your daughters think about that?
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.
Obama is dickering with Russia for Lenin’s used mausoleum...
His Grnadmother isn’t wearing a ring
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.)
Anybody seen the death certificate?
Barry has it in SPADES.
She may have been creamated? In that case a memorial could be done months later.
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.
This is part of the “change.” Hussein sold her to McDonalds.
Her several votes. They always vote more then once.
It's in the genes.
They don't understand the words fair, ethical, & truth.
BTW, haven't most evil dictators been categorized with this disorder, and had poor childhoods with strong mother figures, abusive then non-existant fathers?
Madelyn Dunham will be voting in Chicago for many years to come.
Messiah....raise from the dead.....early withdrawal....wealth spreader!!!
