She doesn’t look a day over 130.

She never learned to count very well….in reality she’s probably 80-85 years old.

Unfortunately, she never learned to count very well…..in reality she’s probably around 80-85 years old.

Wow….Obama’s father’s mother’s great-great grandmother.

Her skin is her sin I guess. Your mom must be proud of her little Kleagle.

Isn’t she one of Obama’s impoverished relatives that he ignores?

jgaPinoy,

Your cordial, Christian veneer cracks to reveal your true self. Nice race-based attack by a friggin postal worker.

A lady lives to that age and all she earns are third-grade black jokes. Nice job guys. So much for the big tent.

What is missing in this story is a history of the generations of her decendants. That would probably be more accurate than what people might commonly believe about her.

If she really has daughters that are 90, then it is easy to accept she is somewhere over 100. And in this case, with a transcribed birth certificate, 1894 might easily be mistyped as 1874. If so, then she could realistically be at least 110.

How can that statement be racist when there is no reference about Obama’s race or heritage?

What that statement is, really, is a personal attack on Obama’s character. A tactic regularly used by Democrats against any given Republican candidate.

His remark is clearly based on the woman’s race. Your inability to see this is a barrier to your clear thinking. You don’t see harm in his comment but do in mine. Good job.

Also, nobody accused him of “racism.” Learn to read.

I’m not a Democrat; I’m voting Palin/McCain. That doesn’t mean I have to act like a old-school racialist. Conservatism, fortunately, requires no consideration of race in its applied values.

Also, what in the hell does he reference by linking the woman and Obama as relatives if not race? Whenever someone lies about prejudice or racial issues I assume they are hiding their true character for a good reason.

It takes a special type of person to be so obtuse about things. Since I don’t know, let me just ask. Are you a bigot, racist or otherwise prejudcied against people for similar reasons?

Many Republicans still treat Africa as if it is a country. It is in fact a continent. You know, with countries, states, townships, etc.

You are as old as you feel.

My collie says:

Are you trying to say that you have her beat, CC?

Stupid dog.
