Throw Grandma under the Bus
I love poliltics. The good, the bad and the ugly of it all. I have met a few really good liars in my time- and the funny thing about them is that they think that if they lie, then so does every one else. People who have a bad personality flaw- like lying or stealing so that they feel comfortable accusing other people of it when things don't go their way- well, those people cause a lot of trouble, because sometimes other people don't know the common thread running through their lives and will believe them. That is,so to speak, the if "I think it" then "everyone thinks it" personality. Hope that made sense. Often you can tell alot about someone just by what they say "everyone" does or thinks or has. In Obama's life, one woman stood out. Really stood out. That is his grandmother. In an era when lots of grandparents would never have taken in a biracial child, even though it would ache their hearts (if you are under 40 you wouldn't get that), his grandmother - the one who raised the selfish mother Barack was dealt- took her grandchild in and loved him and cared for him. According to Obama's own BOOK, his grandmother was generous to a homeless person who then accosted her for more money and frightened her. In her retelling of the incident, she described the man to her husband as a "black man". Obviously, to Barack, this means that grandma is now a damned to hell racist for now and forever. How could he feel good about being black if grandma NOTICED her assailant was black? I mean, how DARE she notice skin color? That is so laughable that it is tough to address. I should end it right there. But what, I ask you, is MORE noticeable than the color of our skin? NOTHING. The first thing you'd want the cops to know is the skin color of your assailant. That - white or black- eliminates a lot of suspects. But in his own racist zeal, he believes she must have thought as he did- that she judged people on skin color just as he did. But now, caught in a web of his own racism, he alters the story- lies- unless of course he was lying in the book for sympathy. Now in the new version, grandma is accosted by a black man who simply frightens her by his mere existence. So now grandma, who was the one woman who didn't fail him, is the bad person. Throw her ass UNDER the bus. This says a lot about his character. Or how badly he was brainwashed. The white guy I sat next to at my caucus lived on the same hall as Obama (Barry) in college. He said he was a normal, happy guy who was accepted and well liked in an era where most kids didn't care. Now he plays a race card, goes to a racially motivated church and exposes his kids to a racism he pretends to have experienced in the USA, where he did not do most of his growing up. I guess those votes must mean a lot to him. But when his grandma finally gets her hands on him, I hope she gives him a good old fashioned whoopin'. He should be ashamed of himself.
