“I can no more disown [Rev. Wright] than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.“
Senator Barack Obama

Barack Obama threw his ailing grandmother who raised him under the bus last year.
Obama equated her with the racist anti-Semitic “G-Damning AmeriKKKa” preacher he chose for himself and his family- Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, a bank vice president, and grandfather, Stanley Dunham, a salesman, lived in a two-bedroom apartment in downtown Honolulu and helped raise their grandson along with his white mother until he graduated from high school. (Washington Post)
Barack Obama threw his white grandmother under the bus last year.
On Saturday, Barack Obama pulled his “typical white person” grandmother out from under the the bus to use at his town hall meeting in Grand Junction.
Breitbart reported:
President Barack Obama invoked his own anguish over the death of a loved one as he challenged the debunked notion that Democratic efforts to overhaul the nation’s health care would include “death panels.”
“I just lost my grandmother last year. I know what it’s like to watch somebody you love, who’s aging, deteriorate and have to struggle with that,” an impassioned Obama told a crowd as he spoke of Madelyn Payne Dunham. He took issue with “the notion that somehow I ran for public office or members of Congress are in this so they can go around pulling the plug on grandma.”
Barack Obama was able to visit his “typical white person” grandmother in Hawaii once the last year and a half before her death.
