Nope, and that goes for those who are making her out to be some sort of heroine, too. Too bad young Barry actually considered taking heroin to numb his pain. See his book.

Well, knowing someone personally certainly hasn't stopped many (and I mean many!) obama supporters on this forum from judging palins parenting skills.....

Since we're talking about mothers....
Your post reminds me of another mother who put her own ambition ahead of her special needs child and pregnant teenager. Mother of the year.

True. At least Palin is still around and people can ask her and Ann died 13 years ago.

His mother was free spirited and OPEN MINDED. This is why Senator Obama will bring the RIGHT change that this country needs, he doesn't judge and label people the way the McCain people would like. He probably has the most forgiving and understanding nature, but knows not how to let it get in the way of what is generally right and wrong. I just have a lot of respect for him!

You have to be completely open minded to understand his view on the world and what humanity and compassion truly is. If that is equivalent to what you people would like to call socialism, just because he cares about the well being of others and wants to uplift everyone, then all of you so called Christians and pro Americans need to do some soul searching!

I don't have any proof that Obama's mother dumped her kid or was sexually promiscuous. In fact, I know that she had a PhD in Anthropology and was doing FIELD WORK in Indonesia. I know that she was MARRIED twice.
Look it up.
Married twice and divorced twice.


Field work?

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

If she was on welfare like he said before she would have been well taken care of and everything would have been paid for, now he lies and said she had insurance.

HE IS A LIAR and a scam artist.

Just like he said his dad herded goats in the hills, his dad never herded a single goat in his life.

One lie after another.

Then to find out the ****head did not even give his mom the time of day when she was lying in bed dying.

Yes another lie, she previously said he remembers seeing her at the hospital now he did not even visit her.

We have to end this mans scams and lies. Time to force his resignation.
He is not worthy of even being on our ballots.


I truly wish it mattered, but it doesn't. The typical voter is going with whatever crap Maddow and Olberman shovel at them without a single eye brow being raised.

Even when his contradictions are exposed, Matthews come out and says McCain is desperate and slinging mud, the voters eyes glaze over and the brain goes off to Obama land.

She was a terrible role model for him, can't you tell by his lack of good judgement.

Granny was to damn old to take care of a totally mixed up Barry who was depressed about who he was and became a druggie and an alcoholic because his commi mommy dumped him.
is this what she told you when you chaneled her spirit?
was her college thesis also on RUSSIA?

Young Obama was clearly left with scars and issues because of his parentage and upbringing, which he details in his books. I understand that he makes excuses for her as a means of coping but for others to glamorize it is just ridiculous.

She tied up with an ALREADY MARRIED Kenyan man, got pregnant and dumped. OK, she was young and made foolish choices. But, then, she tied up with another foreigner and moved her kid to a Third World, predominantly Muslim country. Understandably, he didn't like it there and asked to return to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.

Free-spirit? No, she was a flake who put her own wishes ahead of her child's needs. Despite her education, Obama says they were poor and had to live off foodstamps! While her memory should be left alone, it is certainly nothing to CELEBRATE, as is being done by many here.

Another great role model was his stepfather who supposedly lied in order to enroll him in a Muslim school. Barry did not want to leave the school, but his mother was an atheist and did not want him to become indoctrinated, that's when he was shipped off to his grandparents. As an agnostic in his adult life, in order to gain credibility in the black community, Father Pflager selected a church for him to join. We all kow how that turned out for him.
From what I have read, he was not with his mother when she was on her deathbed, nor did he attend her funeral. It seems to me that he and wife might have been able to assist his mother with medical bills.
I just find it so interesting that he has no family, no college friends...
