Obama's Grandma has died

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

sad. 

does this mean she is going to miss out on the sacrificing of the bull in celebration of Obama's victory, or was she from Obama's mother side of the family?

You really are less than human, you know that?

what do you mean?  haven't you read that the Kenya side of Obama's family is preparing to sacrifice a bull?  No joke.

And where did you read that exactly, religious? NewsMax or some other esteemed site?

It wasn't what you said, it was the context in which you said it.  You just had to get your little jab in.

To any Obama family members reading this:  I am sorry for my poor taste, please accept my apology.

You should post a link because I don't see anything about it on there.

I did. I don't see anything about Obama's family planning to sacrifice a bull.

dude, what am I, you're Swahili tour guide?

I'm sure they know how to make good jerky, wouldn't mind having some myself

Thanks. I find that kind of disturbing, not that it has anything to do with Obama himself. If true, hopefully they at least eat the bull...

of course they're going to eat it, why do you think they're killing it?

Most unfortunate news, she was a great lady. The sheer lack of empathy on the part of some members here is ghoulish, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

^^^^^^^

my opinion precisely

fellas, I only asked if she was going to miss the family celebration feast or if she was on Obama's mother side of the family?  What on earth is wrong with that?  Heck, if someone in my family was elected president, I'd slaughter several cows and bring in several kegs of Samuel Adams.

You know damned well that that wasn't your intent.

let's review:

sad.

seems concise and to the point to me.

who are we talking about?

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

RIP. It's heartbreaking that she won't get to see the boy she raised into such an impressive man win the presidency tomorrow.

I went to the funeral today of a truly great lady, who had 5 children and worked her way up from going to a basically segregated school, to be a Licensed Practical Nurse.  Her numerous children, grand children, and great grand children were there.  I read Psalm 91 because she requested that I read it, when she preplanned her funeral.

While Mrs. Dunham had accomplishments, lets not get carried away.

I didn't realize her name was Dunham...but, they already buried her?  I thought she just died today?!

A sacrifice implies they are going to kill the bull to sate the fury of some pagan deity.  On the other hand, if they are going to kill the fatted calf in celebration of something that makes them happy, that's an entirely different kettle of fish.  Or jerky.

I am not aware of Muslims offerring animal sacrifices for religious purposes
