Aides said Obama’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her husband, Konrad Ng, also were present.

Good question for which we will never have an answer! She died late the night of the 2nd, the body was removed by 3:30 am Monday morning, the urn of ashes was returned Tuesday morning and an apartment lived in for 40 years was cleaned out by Nov. 6th. Sure would have been nice to see the dumpster the trash was put in!

Wonder if he took off his shirt and profiled for the camera, at the funeral?

She did attend services at a local church while she was mobile but it was never mentioned if Stanley did as well. Once she was no longer mobile she probably missed services.

How nice! Beloved Leader took time off from the beach to say bye bye to Grams, even if she was just a typical white person. Talk about racial healing.

His half sister and brother in law attended but any mention of Michelle and the girls is absent from both stories!

I have to be doing something wrong. How does a person who had nothing go from middle class to super rich in a heartbeat.

Just, well, damn.

I need to get into politics....

It is, and most make fools of themselves not recognizing it as such - a good reason for cynicism.

"I have to be doing something wrong."

It's all in the type of community you organize.
