Tweety didn't know about Obama's half-sister?

[Graybeard]

Talking about other presidents and their relatives he said that Obama had no siblings.

Obama's half-sister is Maya Soetoro-Ng who he grew up with. She is the daughter of his mother and her second husband.

2. In the parade viewing box Obama's sister Maya and her husband were sitting behind Sasha & Malia

when the parade started - not sure if they are still sitting there now or not or walking about.

5. Yeah but Obama grew up with Maya, so you'd think that all the news folks would know that :) n/t

7. I think Tweety was refering to the Kenyan sister.

The president has at least three half brothers, as well.

8. Reread the OP, it says that Tweety said Obama had NO siblings.

Someone needs to remind him about Maya

9. Ugh. Your're right!

I really don't know how the hell he didn't know about Maya, let alone the others. Or, was he just very clumsily pointing out that he was the only child of Barack, Sr. and Ann Dunham? What a putz. Maybe his blood sugar was low...

4. Kenyan half sister was at luncheon, Maya was at parade viewing

CNN showed and mentioned his half sister from Africa who was at the luncheon. Said that she is the closest to him of the Obama relatives and has taken him around Africa to meet the other family members. And of course Maya from Hawaii was there with her husband, prominently seated behind the Obama girls at the viewing podium.

6. IMO Tweety was off his meds today. nt

10. He could have been having some sort of blood sugar issues.

He's diabetic. His blood sugar might have been too low.

12. He needs to be removed from the air

and let somebody else take those 2 slots that he fills with bullshit and self-aggrandizing drivel.

13. ^What you said^

In the few times that I've watched his show, he's always managed to piss me off for one reason or another.
