Thread Name: BS: Obama's Other Grandmother
Subject: RE: BS: Obama's Other Grandmother
Mrrzy, remember that, with his being raised mostly in the USA, and the rest NOT in Kenya, his maternal grandmother, who of course spoke English as did he, and who was such an active part of his life, would be expected to loom larger in his consciousness than this other grandmother, with whom he had little IF ANY contact before his adulthood. No surprise, and absolutely no blame can be attached to him, IMO, for not putting his Kenyan grandmother more prominently in his writings and public pronouncements.
