Indianapolis, Then Honolulu

Hey, Jake. At least you didn’t go overboard with a tear jerker story about how Obama missed his mother’s death and doesn’t want to do the same with his grandmother like Brian Williams reported tonight…which begs the question, if he cared so much about his mother, then WHY wasn’t he there? She’s in his campaign ads. Anyone who’s had a loved one dying of cancer-knows when the time is real close. Which begs another question…if his “gravely ill” grandmother was reported to have “made a turn for the worst” late Sunday early Monday, why is he just going now? Curious as to what the people who trashed Sarah Palin about “family first” have to say. I think he’ll use anybody and any story to make himself look good…which begs the question…What IS the real story?

you and i both know if you heard the
real story, you would not believe it
even if barack came to your house and told you. so why don’t you just keep on making up the story you want to believe.
and stop with this game playing.

cheer up…if you read my posts, then you know I don’t play games which is what you are doing now. I don’t post twice in a row either, so I hope yours isn’t a threat.

if obama came to you and told you his story, you would not believe it was the “Real Story”
so just keep making up anything you want about obama, what you read, heard,
saw from somewhere.
you don’t like obama, you will not be voting for him. no matter what his Real Story is.

Mara: You twisted what I said. If a family member is dying, you get there. If I was told on Sunday that my grandmother who is the last of my family has “taken a turn for the worst” I wouldn’t wait four more days, I would be on the next plane out. And her name is Dunham. God Bless Mrs. Dunham

vic,
sometimes, if a person has had a good relationship with a relative over the course of their LIFE,-going to see the person as soon as you can when they are sick, should be appropriate.
Jpt, and all who are trying to make a story out of this, are just treading on thin ice,and also, we might be a little rude, because only you or i or anyone else knows what the status of a relationship with a relative is. and that included people in the public eye.
when bill clinton was running for president, and his mom was sick, none of us knew, nor did anyone pry to much to find out how often he went to visit her, or hillary’ dad.
if a person has not been close to a relative when that relative was up and about, well and alive, to go running to see them when they are ill, probally has more to do with some form of guilt on the visitors part, than it has to do with the sick person. but then again, this is probally a cultural and private thing, and not open to-to much examination.
and besides, for obama it is best for him to do whatever he was going to do, and let people say and judge what he does for themselves, because whatever he does-someone somewhere is going to critize him for not doing the opposite.

Even someone on CNBC yesterday said that this was good for pr. So that seems like he was a little skeptical. It is funny how Obama has managed to get in a few tv interviews along with the new rally he had. Not to mention the press was waiting for him in Hawaii for what GMA described as a highly personal visit with his grandmother.

By the way, I’m an Illinois Democrat who except for a couple local Democrats running, is voting Republican for the first time ever. I’m tired of Obama and his supporters. My vote in Illinois won’t do much, but my entire family still lives in St. Louis.

Was that O-Force One I saw Obama arrive on in Hawaii? Unless it was a file video it seemed like he took the campaign jet to Hawaii on personal business.

You miss my point, cheer up. My point was that he took the campaign jet on a personal trip. Much was made of Palin’s clothing and nothing made of his use of the jet.
