Update: Michelle Obama’s Father NOT Buried at Scammed Cemetery
Earlier today we reported that Michelle Obama's father was buried at Burr Oak — a cemetery where workers dug-up remains, moved them and then re-sold the plots of land for profit. However, the first lady's office has issued a revised statement that says her father was buried at a different cemetery in Illinois.
Michelle Obama's communications director Camille Johnston released the following statement:
"There has been some confusion that has been cleared up. Fraser Robinson III was buried at Lincoln Cemetery NOT Burr Oak. Mrs. Obama’s father is Fraser Robinson III and he is NOT buried at Burr Oak. I do not know where her grandfather was buried, but I do not believe he is at Burr Oak either."

It does not matter who was buried there you do not diturb graves unless there is a court order to do so. OMG people who do that there is no form of punishment for them that fits the crime.

Nice to see the Obamas jumping in any time it looks like they may get some sympathy and publicity plus hoping to distract us from the terrible shape the country isw in……how about figuring ways to fix it and not worry about the image machine
