Obama Pays Visit To His Grandmother In Makiki (Alone)
Democratic presidential hopeful Illinois Sen. Barack Obama waited yesterday afternoon for the doors to close in the elevator that would take him up to visit his grandmother in a Punahou-area apartment.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., walks with his daughter Malia Obama, 10, and carries gifts after going to his grandmother's home in Honolulu, Hawaii Saturday, Aug. 9, 2008
The second photo must be AFTER he saw his Grandma and she must have given him a gift basket. He did not have it with him NOR his daughter when he was on the elevator to go up to her apartment. -- Wild Thing
Obama pays visit to grandmother in Makiki
After delivering a campaign speech, Sen. Barack Obama's first stop on his Hawaii vacation was a visit to his grandmother's Makiki apartment, where he also lived during his youth.
Obama -- escorted by Secret Service and accompanied by a few campaign staff and a pool of reporters and camera crews -- arrived at about 4:10 p.m. yesterday and spent an hour with his 85-year-old maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who helped raise him.
He was not accompanied by his wife, Michelle, and two daughters.
Dunham, a retired Bank of Hawaii vice president, still lives in the same apartment where she and her husband helped raise Obama, who attended nearby Punahou School.
Obama's half sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, is his only other living relative left in Hawaii.
Wild Thing's comment..........
This is so weird. Why aren’t the Grandkids crawling all over Grandma? Michelle doesn’t like her? Kids have never met her? What is the real story. Is it because the white hating Michelle won't let the kids near her. Sorry but this is jsut very odd. hahaha
Wow, he visited with her for a whole hour after not seeing her for 19 months. What a guy. Or I guess I should say, this Grandma is not just A typical white person, but THE typical white person. And he spent a whole hour with her. Wow.
This could have been a grand photo op to show how INCLUSIVVE he is towards his WHITE Grandma and how his family loves white folks too.
So which person went to see the Grandma, Barry Soetoro or Barak Hussein Obama?
There is something deeply wrong with this family. Remember Barack didn’t go to see his mother when she was dying of cancer.

If I went to see my grandmother, after not taking the time to visit her for years, and failed to bring my wife and kids, she would have given me a piece of her mind. It's so good of Obama to allot a whole hour to the woman who raised him.

Just because we use Hoppes #9 aftershave is no reason to believe we cling to our guns. Now what did I do with that bore brush.

Mark, I kind of like Break Free myself. An aircraft machinist introduced me to that stuff and it works great.

Darth, LOL yes that is what it is for sure.

BobF, isn't that something. It is really odd and if it is coming from Barack and Michelle saying no about it then it is really horrible.

GUYK, hahaha you right, he is so horrible.

Yeah, that is strange for the girls to not be clamoring all over nana's place. My girls love to see their nana's whenever they can. I couldn't stand to be a nana and not see my grandchildren as much as I could. He's got something sneaky going on and I don't like it. Malia and Sasha need their grandmother. It's imperative. I don't care if Bitchelle doesn't like her, or vice versa, but let the girls see NANA!!!!!!!!!!

Lynn, I agree it sure does feel like something sneaky or he is embarassed that she is white or what they heck I have no idea, but it sure is really weird. Makes me feel uncomfortable.
