sonnyspats1 on October 23, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Wow….Obama’s father’s mother’s great-great grandmother.
ManlyRash on October 23, 2008 at 9:05 PM
“She thinks she’s 134 years old.”
Yeah, but can you really trust the memory of someone over, say, 120 or so?
Evilwhiteguy on October 23, 2008 at 9:06 PM
I’d do her.
/kidding
stonemeister on October 23, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Wow. Wouldn’t you just love to sit down and talk to her?
malan89 on October 23, 2008 at 9:07 PM
And she’s been smoking and drinking for 120 years. Go figure.
JammieWearingFool on October 23, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Big deal! My mom’s over 300 yrs old and can still kick my ass.
Seriously, at 82, she can throw a half-beef on butcher block and have it cut n wraped in two hours.
Rovin on October 23, 2008 at 9:09 PM
I was wondering how long that would take, just keep her away from Ace………….
Seven Percent Solution on October 23, 2008 at 9:10 PM
I wouldn’t care if she’s 34 or 284. My artist’s eye finds her incredibly appealing.

RushBaby on October 23, 2008 at 9:11 PM
BTW………………………. God Bless Her….
Seven Percent Solution on October 23, 2008 at 9:11 PM
She has a British dentist, that’s for sure.
AubieJon on October 23, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Kookoo Malookoo? Gotta love the name. Hey, how is it she has a birth certificate handy but Obama can’t find his?

My grandfather (who passed) always used to say “A man could live to be 300…if he didn’t die first.”

I am soooo turned on!
Oh…wait…This isn’t the Meg Kelly thread, is it?
Nemmine then.
whitetop on October 23, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Now who would question her age . . .we all know that CNN is a completely credible source.
Actually, she’s only 29 but was forced into a government mandated health care system shortly after birth. Needless to say she has not fared as well as one would have hoped.
rplat on October 23, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Dude?
carbon_footprint on October 23, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Bill Clinton would do her.
Alouette on October 23, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Well, I have no doubt there will be plenty of folks older than her voting on November 4th.

I’m 37 and tore my rotator cuff rolling over in bed last year. When I was 36. I suck.
robblefarian on October 23, 2008 at 9:21 PM
Sorry… don’t believe her.
Warner Todd Huston on October 23, 2008 at 9:22 PM
And when she ran in the election of 1904, Democrats claimed she wouldn’t survive her first term.

Michelle Obarfo. Looking good.
Bishop on October 23, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Did no one notice the mockery of Obama in the production of the birth certificate. She can produce one from a time before record keeping, Obama can’t even produce a convincing fake. But that stuff has no relevance or standing among Americans anymore and your a kook to ask for it.
BL@KBIRD on October 23, 2008 at 9:28 PM
“Kookoo Molookoo” sounds like the name a team mascot.
Andrew D on October 23, 2008 at 9:30 PM
I question the timing.
Fletch54 on October 23, 2008 at 9:31 PM
This is a serious question. Since Sen. Obama’s mother was obviously an American citizen wouldn’t he automatically be one also regardless of where he was born?
Cindy Munford on October 23, 2008 at 9:31 PM
I don’t have an American birth certificate either, but I know that I could come up with a better fake than he has. Can I be your President?
PootyPoot on October 23, 2008 at 9:31 PM
So she was born in 1874?
She was 29 when the Wright brothers flew
34 when the Titanic sank
43 when WWI started.
67 when WWII started
95 when man walked on the moon.
kurtzz3 on October 23, 2008 at 9:32 PM
I’m 20, and I fully expect that many people in my generation will be living to 100, and that a certain percentage will live to 120 or so. I actually believe pretty firmly that I’ll live to at least 90, I honestly don’t believe that another 50 years of medical science in this technological age won’t result in adding at least 15 years to the average life expectency. Which is just one more reason we need pretty serious social security reform.
jimmy the notable on October 23, 2008 at 9:34 PM
So does this mean that McCain only has 62 years left before Palin takes over?

Andrew D on October 23, 2008 at 9:30 PM
Or the name on a few hundred ACORN voter registration forms.
Bishop on October 23, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Isn’t she one of Obama’s impoverished relatives that he ignores?
jgapinoy on October 23, 2008 at 9:46 PM
She probably remembers the Redcoats fighting the Zulus!
She would have been five years old when Isandlwhana was fought.
Bishop on October 23, 2008 at 9:47 PM
We don’t need SS reform if we can figure out a reliable way to get everyone in your generation to drop dead the day after retirement. Sort of like how blacks are doing today.
Thanks to abortion, this country should be lily white within 25 years.
platypus on October 23, 2008 at 9:47 PM
Wait. Did you misspell “wrapped” or “raped”? Either way, much respect to your mom.
MikeZero on October 23, 2008 at 9:52 PM
I thought fer sure this was going to be about her voting for Obama.
Mr_Magoo on October 23, 2008 at 9:55 PM
While I don’t buy that she’s as old as she’s claiming, the reporter states that it would make her the “oldest” human to have lived. Clearly he hasn’t read the Book of Genesis. (Evolutionists, feel free to assume I’m being sarcastic – but for everyone else, I’m not)
RightWinged on October 23, 2008 at 9:56 PM

Does she have an African country birth certificate?
The one like Obama is now trying to hide?
BowHuntingTexas on October 23, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Ask her what happened to Augustin Le Prince, the true inventor of motion pictures, who vanished mysteriously when she was young?

You’re confusing the laws concerning being considered Jewish.

ohiorebel on October 23, 2008 at 10:29 PM
I’m not sure I’d want to live that long. I figure after about 90, you’d start running out of things to do.
CurtZHP on October 23, 2008 at 10:30 PM
If this is true, then she gave birth (presumably for the final time) at 44 years old in 1918. Given how dangerous pregnancy is for “mature” mothers today, it’s insane that she survived even that. Much less the other things she’s survived.
Tanya on October 23, 2008 at 10:33 PM
At the risk of a vdry dry post here it is: If Obama was born in Hawaii to a parent who was a citizen, he is considered a natural born citizen. If, however, he was born in a foreign country, say Kenya, to a U S citizen, but his father was not a naturalized citizen at the time of his birth, he would not be a natural born citizen. His mother would have had to apply for citizenship on his behalf when she returned to the U S. To be a foreign born natural citizen, both parents have to be citizens at the time of the birth or, one parent a citizen, but be on foreign soil due to service to the U S on either a military base or embassy and just not be able to give birth at that base/embassy due to an emergency of some kind.
Whew! Hope that is clear enough cause I ain’t going over it again. Class dismissed!
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 23, 2008 at 10:39 PM
what a bunch of bologna. she aint 134 and her daughter sure IN HELL aint 90 either.
absurd. HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
educated guesswork. what a laugh.
Amazing how the oldest person in the world, by far, doesnt have a birth record that is not “educated guesswor” i.e. total nonsense. Backwards country.
I would guess she is in early early to mid 90′s and her daughter is like 60 or so.
Roger Waters on October 23, 2008 at 10:39 PM
I would think, if she has kids, she’d know how old she was when she had her first, then that offspring would know how old she was when she had her first and so on.
It would seem that with a little investigation you could date her.
TheSitRep on October 23, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I’ll be in my bunk!
BDavis on October 23, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Hey-was that a Hawaiian birth certificate?
Little Boomer on October 23, 2008 at 10:51 PM
The only thing that needs to be said is (GOD BLESS YOU)
thmcbb on October 23, 2008 at 11:01 PM
She is a relative of Obama. So I’ll take anything she say with a grain of salt. If she’s anything like Barry, lying would come naturally.
RMR on October 23, 2008 at 11:04 PM

virology76 on October 23, 2008 at 11:46 PM
134. Hmmm. In dog years, maybe.
shaken on October 23, 2008 at 11:49 PM
The video only states she has grand children, great grand children and they have children. That’s only 5 generations. I am 70 and I have a great grand child that is 9 years old. If she were really 134, there should be six,seven or even eight generations, not just the five discussed. It would have been interesting to know how recently the birth certificate was prepared.
Oleta on October 24, 2008 at 12:11 AM
Did she used to host that show, Tales from the “Crypt”?
Just askin’
ohiorebel on October 24, 2008 at 12:25 AM
Look. I lived in South Africa for a couple of years, spent many hours in the townships and villages…
She ain’t 134 years old. I guaran-damn-tee it.
iamse7en on October 24, 2008 at 1:49 AM
In truth, what is said about Hussein’s birth is that in 1961, U.S. stated that a child with only one U.S. citizen parent at the time of birth (outside the country) would only automatically be a citizen if that parent had resided in the U.S. for at least five years after turning 16 years old. Since Obama’s momma was only 18 at the time of his birth (known to some as simply, “The Nativity”) she could not have fulfilled that “five-year-after-age-16″ requirement. Had she not gotten knocked up until three years later, it wouldn’t matter.
Tommygun on October 24, 2008 at 1:50 AM
In the 1800′s, people used large traffic bollards as teeth.
Since, yaknow, they didn’t use cars, they had no need for traffic bollards.
Black Adam on October 24, 2008 at 2:19 AM
I used to date her but the 98 year age difference was a bit too much. Plus, I am a Beatles fan and she’s more of a Stones gal.
Claypigeon on October 24, 2008 at 2:52 AM
If it can be verified that her daughter in that piece is really 90, then i see no reason to doubt her story.
On another note. The posts on this thread show how much the commenters on this site have degenerated.

I hate to break it to jimmy the notable–but his generation is going to be the first to die before their parents. His is the generation of overweight and obese kids that gorged themselves on lunchables and fruit roll-ups.
Just went to an inservice concerning these stats. Jimmy–if you live past 40, you’ll be lucky. God Bless and Godspeed–and stay away from the Big Macs.
robblefarian on October 24, 2008 at 6:51 AM
This is a serious question. Since Sen. Obama’s mother was obviously an American citizen wouldn’t he automatically be one also regardless of where he was born?
No. The US laws are not like this. I should know. My mother was born a US citizen, and married my father, a Canadian.
When we moved to the US when I was 15, she had to jump through hoops to bring any of us down with her. Then within the year they got our citizenship-which was a hysterical process where they took me in a room by myself to tell a woman that I truly was my mother’s child and I was born on the day I wa born.. not that I remembered of course.. I just had to take their word for it. :)
Now I know we were stupid. We should have just come in illegally :)
Noelie on October 24, 2008 at 8:02 AM
No, the law in effect at the time he was born read that if only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.”
Since his mother hadn’t been living in the U.S. for at least five years after the age of 16 when Barack was born (because she herself was only 18 at the time), then he’s not a natural-born citizen by that definition. If he was born in Hawaii, then he is a natural born citizen though.

My Grandfather thinks he’s Betty Grable, by all means believe her. Why would a birth certificate from Africa cause a controversy? Hmmmmmmm?

Ares on October 24, 2008 at 9:41 AM
She doesn’t even look 90. Does her 90 year old daughter have a birth certificate? I’ll bet it shows that she’s 60.
Can CNN really be this stupid?
