Ya know, I understand Conservative compassion. But we do not know if the Messiah’s grandmother is even ill—let alone terminally ill. Moreover, it does not pass the smell test. We’ve got two weeks to go before Nov. 4. If she is not terminally ill what is the point of making a big show of rushing to her bedside at this critical juncture?

What does the Marxist Onada have to gain by, in the absense of any other info, this stunt? That’s the relevent question.

” Are you sure this is the right statement you put up? “

If we are to believe the Chicago Sun Times .
Original Obama quote from an interview in 2004, repeated again Sept 2007 in another Sun Times article.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/familytree/545458,BSX-News-wotreeff09.article

Good catch on the “ how fast it was going to take. “
I read it, but, didn’t appreciate it.
Chilling choice of words.

After Barry threw Grandmother under the bus -
“I am not giving any interviews,” Madelyn Dunham told a reporter who phoned in March 2008.
“I am in poor health.”
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/03/barack-throws-his-ailing-grandmother.html

How many times has Barry visited his sick grandmother in the past nine months ?
If this was McCain visiting an ailing relative-the NYT would demand to see her medical records.

” 3) Why couldn’t Michelle fly to Hawaii last week and stay with or keep company to the most influential woman in her husband’s life? “

Because they don’t have fresh Maine lobsters in Hawaii ?
Or Iranian caviar ?
Or French champagne ?

The whole scenario defies common sense and common decency.
Obama is either worried about something afoot in the Hawaii Bureau Of Vital Statistics.
Or he needs a vacation and Grandma is a beard.
We know that the guy, despite all the time spent
in the gym with his “ mystery men “
-Reggie Love and Michael Signator - he has little stamina and has a weak work ethic.

I pray for strangers all of the time. If you don’t believe in it, however, you shouldn’t do it.

“grandmother that says “I was in the delivery room in Kenya”?”

Did the grandma really say that? Where did you read that one? It sure is interesting, it wouldn’t surprise me either.

Well, it never hurts to pray. We don’t only pray to ask God for things (for ourselves or others) we also pray to strengthen our relationship with Him. If we pray, say, for the healing of someone who is not sick, what have we lost? Not a thing. We should always be praying for His will anyway.

I don’t know why Obama is doing what he’s doing, I only know why I do what I do. And I go to our Lord in prayer as much as I can (and still not as often as I should).
God bless you too! :)

Different grandma, RM. The one who reportedly made that statement is the mother of Zerobama’s Arab-African father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.

It’s been floated around. Probably just a rumor but I guess Kenya grandma was saying she was so proud because her grandson (Barack) was going to be President and she was in the delivery room when he was born....in Kenya.

Of course the left says “oh this is just bragging, he wasn’t really born in Kenya”.

It’s also included in the Philip Berg lawsuit against Obama.

Should also note that it isn’t just his Grandmother saying it, but also other people in Kenya.

O was born in Hawaii. I don’t for a minute doubt it. No way he’d have ever put himself in the limelight like this if there was reason to doubt, and no way it wouldn’t have leaked from Hawaii long ago if there was any meat to it. This has all been a strawman, at first I imagine O found it amusing and not worth answering. As it picked up speed on the internet, I think O hoped McCain would levy the charge himself so he could be “smacked down” with the birth certificate and made to look like he was fabricating crazy lies. Instead McCain hasn’t taken the bait, so his hands stay clean and now O is left standing there twiddling his thumbs wondering if he should just release the birth certificate now to stop the chatter or if he overplayed his hand and waited too long. Kind of amusing, but people need to not rest their hopes on a sensational story like this. McCain will win because O is a socialist child who isn’t at all qualified to be POTUS, not over some fairy tale about the prophet O being born in a small African hut.

If Obama is born in Kenya that means GrandMa is under a lot of distress due to all the lies.

Obama, himself is the cause of her illness I betcha!

He’s out to show the softheaded idiots, look I got a white grandma in case you forgot. His granny visit is 1,000% political. She’s been old for a while now. I hate him because he’s so ruthless in the way he controls the message.

Ayers is 110% anglo as far as I can tell and I wouldn’t let him near my dogs much less in my house. Obama and his bunch are the biggest bunch of race baiting aholes we have seen in a long time. And they’re slick about it.

He’s slicker than greased owl shyatt. That’s my theory. He’s got the message dialed in and the media is his push out the message mechanism.

Joe the Plumber asked Obama a question and Obama slipped and said hang in there bro, we gonna go get some rich folks to throw some coin your way. That message was IMMEDIATELY buried and Joe became the issue.

What gives with this? I don’t buy that this cold fish is suddenly filled with filial sentiment.
