This is how The Weekly Standard reported the story:
President Obama did not attend the funeral of his late aunt Zeituni Onyango. Instead, he went golfing.
However, The NY Times (where the story was first reported) shows more, er…‘sensitivity’ in their coverage:
Amid Politics, Obama Drifted Away From Kin
….Every complicated family is complicated in its own way. The Obamas, in that sense, are ordinary. But the natural drift that has occurred within the family — already separated by oceans and languages — is exacerbated by politics.
….Now, as the president has embraced the family more culturally near to him — the half sister on his mother’s side with whom he remained close, the Ivy League-educated brother-in-law he bonds with over basketball, the mother-in-law who lives upstairs — the Obamas are often relegated to the farther branches of his family tree….
So, if Aunt Zeituni had been “Ivy League-educated,” he might have been able to “bond” with her?
Whatever…
Such a devoted family man he is….I guess hitting those little balls into holes in the ground help him deal with his deep grief.
Sorry Auntie. The boot-lickers in the regime determined there would be no political bump for OBummer in attending your funeral. Hey, does that make the “creamy” part of him a rascist?
He should have gone. He missed an opportunity to find an attractive woman and take selfies.
Exactly. He missed a selfie opportunity next to the casket.
No doubt the reason he didn’t go would have been because all the attention would have been on Aunt Zeituni and not him.
Jerk.
