However liberal she may, or may not have been, she was private, and she performed her parental role twice...once for her own, and then for her grandchild when her own daughter was either incapable or unwilling to do so. She clearly loved her grandson and gave him all the opportunity she could.
She cannot be blamed or slighted for this. May she rest in peace and may God in Heaven rest her soul.
Now, what Obama has done with that upbringing and opportunity himself, in wandering in the druh culture, in becoming an abject marxist, and in rubbing shoulders with and hobkbobbing radical and terroristic relationships to a political career is another matter entirely.
I think you give Barry Soeroto too much credit. His mom raised him and seems to have given him some of his red diaper doper baby background. Even grandma may have brought her daughter up on the Left side of life.
He is a creep for turning against the family that raised him, however. He needs psychoanalysis about his parental abandonment issues, not the presidency.
