Because his carefully constructed persona demands that he appears as an Everyman, whereas he is really a No man.
As Steve Martin once quipped, "I was born a poor black child".
Obama speaks of Payne and his daughter, nicknamed Toot, in his memoirs. Toot was Obama’s grandmother.
“Toot’s family was respectable,” he wrote. “Her father held a steady job all through the Depression, managing an oil lease for Standard Oil.
“The family kept their house spotless and ordered Great Books through the mail; they read the Bible but generally shunned the tent revival circuit, preferring a straight-backed form of Methodism that valued reason over passion and temperance over both.”
Obama’s denomination is the United Church of Christ.

Yes, and I believe that he is all appearance, as you say, with no center and therefore he must absorb from those around him in order to be of any substance at all.
Banality and fullness of pride does not a great leader make.
That also pretty much describes a sociopath.
I once, innocently, had a run in with a sociopath and I was quite puzzled how the person could be so cold, heartless and non-caring. It was like staring into an abyss of nothing. The man in the White House is just like that. He mouths the word "hope," with no context, expecting others to imagine what he might mean by it. So, we are supposed to be garnered into believing whatever we think he means.
As Dirty Harry termed it, the man is the biggest Hoax this country has ever seen.
Time Line:
October 1968 Her father passes
She become head of the Trust Department in 1970
In 1971 "Family meeting" was held. Just in time to finish probating Rolla's will.
After that She become Jr's legal guardian
Somewhere in this time the move to the twelfth floor apartment (penthouse)
They may have sold the “family farm” but kept the mineral rights in their name. No doubt in my mind "big sis' Madelyn was in charge/executor.
Did anyone else check out -0 most recent tax return? Is that a second income? What is it? Where did it come from?

Is this income received from the sales of his memoirs?

I know its along shot but has anyone ever done any DNA comparisons?
Man, I wish someone could do some DNA testing. It should be easy for someone to compare Obama to one of his supposed relatives in Kenya. Short of that we do have the photo comparisons like what Joel Gilbert did on his DVD.
