Obama's Grandmama Problama.

[Bicoastal]

It's gotta be the funniest smear I've seen yet--a pathetic, yet coordinated effort to turn Grandmas against Barack Obama.

First they show pictures of his African Grandmother in Kenya, saying "He's so wealthy, yet he can't set her up with a nice house in America! Shame on you, Prodigal Child!"

Then they bring up his mention of his American Grandmother in last week's speech, saying "How DARE you accuse your own Grandmother of prejudice! Shame on you, Bad Seed!"

The odd thing is, neither Grandmother has had anything to say about either controversy. If they're anything like MY Grandmother, they're probably his biggest fan and are behind him 100%. To which the critics have said "No, they're AFRAID to say anything! The Obamonster has intimidated them into silence!" Yep, they've actually said this here on DU.

So I'm predicting the next negative ad will go something like this:

Barack Obama claims to be a nice kid. But he hates reruns of Andy Griffith on TV Land, preferring shows starring teenagers with the tattoos and the pierced I-don't-know-what.

When people talk about long lines at the post office, instead of listening politely, he will change the subject, and even say he has "call waiting."

He listens to music that is much too loud and sounds like a bunch of noise--or WORSE, just people talking.

He refuses to wear that cable-knit sweater he got last Christmas, saying it "doesn't look cool enough."

He doesn't even like the way you greeted him at WalMart last week.

Can we trust a man who's too busy to come over and help you with your little Internet problem?

"I'm Hillary Clinton and I will ask you about your Grandchildren!"

1. I think I saw an article in Newsmax

that implied Obama was holding his white grandmother in Hawaii against her will. lol. It's absurd the lengths some will go to to attack the guy. They have nothing else to talk about than his pastor or his grandmother. :eyes:

2. Grandmothers are Hillary's stronghold. I don't think she gains

with this tactic.

3. Why haven't we met/seen Obama's white grandma?

Does she want to stay ingognito, or does he want her to stay in the shadows?

4. He's holding her captive!

8. Showing up his own grandmother was not a classy move

It bothered me. I would never tell the world that my grandmother is prejudiced.

[NYCGirl]

9. But the point is that she's not. There is a certain ingrained fear and misunderstanding

in many of older generations.

11. You missed the entire point of his speech then.

She's NOT racist. That was his point!

12. Why haven't we ever heard anything about a candidate's grandma until Obama????
