HONOLULU (KHNL) - A memorial service for President-elect Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, will be held at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu Friday.

The service, which is open to the public, will begin at 5:00 p.m. but the Obama family will not be in attendance.

Obama's campaign says the president-elect will visit Hawaii in December to honor his grandmother, who helped raise him in Honolulu and died two nights before the election.

Campaign officials have not specified when Obama will make the trip.

Dunham's husband, Stanley Dunham, who fought in World War II, was buried at the cemetery in 1992.

the Obama family will not be in attendance.

That seems extremely odd.

What the hell is wrong with him? This is how you treat the woman who raised you? Truly disgusting.

Odd.. that Obama is not going to his granny's memorial service.

MSM will be silent on this as it does not paint Obama as a walking saint.

but the Obama family will not be in attendance.

That's disgraceful!

The service, which is open to the public, will begin at 5:00 p.m. but the Obama family will not be in attendance.

There was apparently no love lost in this relationship. Very weird though. Even when there is distance or family squabbles I would probably guess that 99% of everyone goes to their grandmas funeral. And probably 99.9% if grandma raised you. Odd.

Perhaps there will be some long-term family friends their who have surfaced to pay their respects.

They are offering a one million dollar reward for the certified long-form birth certificate of Barack Obama.

The long-form birth certificate must be certified by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Well, she’s of no use to him now, so why should he bother? Also, she’s safely out of the way and can’t confirm or deny where he was actually born ...

It is odd the *O* family will not attend, but I'm sure “security problems” will be included in the official excuse.

[End Times Sentinel]

Gee, Toot, I'm really kind of tied up right now with the whole putting together my cabinet and stuff, paying back favors, plus Sasha's got a big roll in her school's production of "Our Town" and we can't take her away from that.

And Toot, honestly, these things are a real drag. Hope you understand.

She was nothing but a sympathy grabber for him. The picture with one tear on his cheek rivals Clinton for the most manipulating photo-op ever. This man is cold to his core. She had a useful purpose and now she doesn't. I am not at all surprised the 0bama family won't be in attendance.

What You Said

[polymuser]

.

I strongly suspect he felt about her like he feels about her America. His (lack of) relationship with her, the woman that raised him for a decade, is a huge elephant in the room.

She was cremated. She is in an urn

"...but we know You will forgive her."

[GoodDay]

Sorry, but there’s something not right with this whole picture. Hussein hated her, or resented her, or something, despite the fact that she provided a home for him with her time and money and sent him to the best schools when he was growing up. She is part of the reason hussein despises whites, and whatever secrets she knew about him (such as his true birthplace), she took with her.

Does anyone know if Obama’s children ever even MET their great-grandmother? I know when his family was on vacation in Hawaii, Michelle & the children didn’t visit her.
