    Is this the same grandmother that said Obama was born in Kenya and was present for his birth?

    He seem to love his mother very much. It was after her death that he turned to drugs and alcohol. He grieved deeply after loosing his mother and will grieve deeply if his grandmother passes. He appears to be a normal person if you ask me.

    Show us where this was actually said by his grandmother. All I heard was rumors his grandmother said this. I would assume the rumor was implying the fathers mother but it wasn't my rumor so I can't be sure.

    I believe this is one of many disinformational ideas that abound this year about Obama. And, it really would not matter if he had been born in Kenya. His mother was an American citizen, so he would be legally a natural born American citizen.

    I have not found any source where it says of his grandmothers said he was born in Kenya. If you have a credible link I would like to see it.

    No! I want to know NOW! :laugh:

    Sorry guys, I didn't realize it hadn't been very long since I asked. :eek:



    I'm not trying to start trouble, but I have read that his grandmother said that he was born in Kenya. If it's false, my apologies.

    The whole story links back to Phillip Burg who is a Hillary supporter and filed suit requesting evidence of a legitimate birth. No proof of this claim has ever been provided. The Israeli Newspaper just reported on Burgs actions.

    Would not that alone make people suspect?

    Anyhow - back to this grandmother. I am glad Obama is going to see her when she is ill at this stage of life.

    Okay, #1, no, this grandmother in Hawaii is not the same grandmother who lives in a shack in Kenya. This grandmother in Hawaii is the maternal GM. The poor one scraping living in a shack without all the amenities that most people take for granted, is his paternal GM.

    It is nice Obama is going to see his GM. However, when I heard the story reported on the MSM, it was embellished by the reporter saying things like how wonderful it is that Obama has such family values, etc. Of course, I wanted to puke, because Obama is pro-abortion (anti-family values), and hasn't seen fit to redistribute some of his own personal wealth to his poor GM living in Kenya or to deliver the promises he made to the Kenya village school students over 2 years ago when he was there and promised them electricity, sanitation, and running water.....

    Keeping one's word and honesty are nice family values, too....

    At any rate, I can't help being suspicious when all of a sudden Obama makes a big trip back to Hawaii 2 weeks before the election, and I have no doubt his aging GM is sick, but wouldn't it also be quite convenient if he should happen to have generated that original birth certificate from Hawaii that is petitioned for in the Philip Berg lawsuit while he happens to be in Hawaii.........ho hum....

    here is the thread about the Berg lawsuit in the Politics forum:

    And give validity to the lawsuit, I don't blame him for blowing them off. He produced a certified copy and people called it fake. Why is it fake, because Berg says so? Please...

    From January 2008:

    "Obama's relatives, gathered Tuesday in the family compound at the end of a dusty dirt road lined with mimosa and mango trees, listened for news of their American relative's election fortunes.

    Inside his grandmother's cinderblock home, framed photos of Obama's 2006 visit and an earlier one in 1987 lined the walls, alongside a signed election poster from his Senate race. Sarah Hussein Obama, wearing a brightly patterned dress and sandals decorated with shells and beads, sat in a wooden chair in the immaculate living room, waiting for news of her grandson.

    Obama's father, also named Barack Obama, won a scholarship to a university in Hawaii, where he met and married the candidate's American mother. The two separated and Obama's father returned to Kenya, where he worked as a government economist until he died in a car crash in 1982. His white-tiled grave is located in a secluded corner of the family compound."

    I think you can vouch for him, he's been very busy since 2006 running for POTUS. There is still time for him to help.

    I thought the topic of this thread was Obama's sick grandmother, not yet another birth cert thread.

    Why does a positive thread about Obama go off topic into attacks and suspicions? Can't a man even go see his sick grandmother???

    For whatever reasons there are those who simply cannot stand to consider a positive thought about Obama.
