Obama's grandmother is 83 and still active, still a worker. Perhaps her lifestyle represents the lifestyle more American's should adopt in the new economy. Close to the land, close family connections, probably a simple but healthy diet.
This was back when the liberal media was still backing Clinton.
SheNN sure made it a point to show how remote the "Obama Homestead" is. I don't recall them pointing out how White Trash, Little Rock Arkansas was.
What a racist lib witch, did you hear her Hilary-like accent change on the "Hello Hello". You mean Barack Hussein Obama SENIOR is buried there, the other BHO is still here. "Paula" sure looks thrilled at being in Kenya. She sure looks antsy. Had too much stimulants or had to go bad?
Obama is for the USA HE IS GOING TO FIRST GIVE US A BETTER LIFE THAN YOU IN AFRICA, IF YOU WANT A BETTER LIFE TALK TO YOUR LEADERS OR MUGABE LOL OR AMIN LOL OR KAUNDA LOL OR TAYLOR LOL THE LIST IS ENDLESS
I think its beautiful that the grandson of an 83 year old chicken farmer from Kenya is the next leader of the free world.
Truely Inspiring I think, kinda gives us the message that no matter where you come from, even if its the simplest of places, you can be something great.
DREAMS FROM MY FATHER quote: I think sometimes that had I known she would not survive her illness, I might have written a different book, less a meditation on the absent parent, more a celebration of the one who was the single constant in my life. In my daughters I see her everyday, her joy her capacity to wonder.I wont try to describe how deeply I mourn her passing still. I know that she was the kindest, most generous spirit I have ever known, and that what is best in me I owe to her.
Barack does not claim to be 100% black he embraces both. Mama Sarah is his blood grandmother not step. He went to Kenya in 1987 to learn about the other side of his family, nothing wrong with that! Read DREAMS FROM MY FATHER b4 you make ignorant comments.
That's not his Grandma. That's one of his grandfather's surviving polygamous wives. No blood relationship there at all and they only met for the first time when Obama was an adult.
Obama is true a genius of an kenyan descent not a muslim, his name simply means good luck lets not confuse the voters with lies deception and mudslinging he is not a MUSLIM.Watch yu tube videos on his kenyan visit. thumbs Wolf of CNN
@ThUgLiFe11209 Unfortunately, many have short term memory, thats why U must be reminded of serious issues we face in R country today. Obama's have apparently been living a very unhappy life in R country for many yes, in 08 Michelle Obama admits to the world for the first time in her life shes proud of this country, really!! Fortunately we have people which puts socialist demagogues like Michelle her place! Obama came to change the world according to his book.
It seems very hypocritical to me that someone who was raised by his "white side" utilizes his step grand mother (she is not even his true grand mother) and "african" connection for political purposes. Fine if he feels more "black" than "white" but the fact that he shuns his white grandparents and his white mother who raised is disturbing from someone who claims he wants to bring America together.
"It seems very hypocritical to me that someone who was raised by his "white side" utilizes his step grand mother (she is not even his true grand mother) and "african" connection for political purposes."
what evidense is there that obama shunned his white side? It looks like he embraced both. plus its a nice storyline for US media to feed public which no one should fault Obama with - thats what media does!
Um, she is his true gandmother. She is the mother of Barack Hussein Obama Sr.; Barack Obama's father. That is how one becomes a grandmother, in case you didn't know. He doesn't shun his mother either; she died of ovarian cancer many years ago. I'm not aware of any evidence that he shuns his surviving maternal grandmother.
You may want to try to learn about things before you talk about them.
No, you may want to try to learn things before you talk about them. This woman is not his biological grandmother - she is his grandfather's second or third wife, which makes her his step grandmother.
Barack Obama never tries to claim he's 100% black, hasn't ignored his paternal family (if you were educated you'd know his father left him at age 2 to return to Kenya) and certainly gives credit to his entire family for where he is today. Both sides. If you'd read his books or done your research you'd know this. He is who he is today because both sides of his family did not see color, but content, just like MLK asked ALL of us to do.
This was wonderful and educational. I would very much like to much more of this culture. And for those who, in disgust, say that Obama is not 100% Black -- who of us are?
Mama Sarah is fabulous. She could be my grandmother. How fortunate he is to still have her with him and Michelle.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This man has NO connection to this culture!!! He was raised by his WHITE grandmother. He wants my black brothers and sisters to think he is 100% black. This is a travesty and a denial of his true roots.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I agree, this man has no credibility. On one side, he is trying to show that he is 100% black when he hardly has any connection to his paternal family, and on the other side, he is not greatful of his maternal grandparents who raised him and helped him become what is he today. I guess taking any of his white relative in his campaign will be negative for him. True racism!!
this is such nonsense, have you had a conversation with Sen. Obama? has he told you that he wants to be more black? where do you get this from? we must never speak without facts, then it is only hearsay, surely you do not want someone speaking of you without having a conversation with you, Naughty, you must not slander and gossip, shame on you! very ill sport!
You are totally lost. The man's father left him when he was two..what do you expect? At least he was brave and curious enough to go travel abroad and find out who is people are.
it's true i don't see lots of other African American celebrities taking that DNA test to find where they come from in Africa lord knows they have the money... we know Chris tucker's roots lie in cameroon

Few African Americans have roots to Africa. I know I don't. Probably because of that whole "stripped of heritage" thing...
You're lacking intelligence i see. How many of us can actually say they have direct relatives in Africa of whom they know?..And secondly, where did you ever see or hear Barack claim to be 100% black? If he did that, then he would totally diss his white side, his white mother and grandparents that raised him. You should be glad that our first potential "black" president for America will have his OWN name and not a slave name like the rest of us.
Dont miss your chance America! Vote this man in! Gain credit again in the international community! I would love to have the chance to vote in such a great man in my country. You do have the chance...be wise and take it!
The woman in this clip is Obama's grandmother. Her son, Obama's father, is the one who married a white woman. That marriage produced Obama!
Probably she disliked it just because it was a deviation from the culture that she knows. Think how your mother would react if you wanted to marry a young woman from Kenya who came from a farm, instead of a white girl from your own suburban neighborhood. They would probably raise eyebrows at the least.
OMG! Really? I didn't know that! I'm sure all those white people in Iowa who voted for Obama didn't know they were voting for a muslim Hussein. Now I'm changing my vote. Go Obama!
