be careful of applying a yard stick that is centered around YOUR values....

this could just as easily been a picture of my grandmother - in east Texas while I was making money in what seemed like a different world... let along country... however, this was what my grandmother knew... she was happy and only lamented that visits from her kids were not frequent or long enough to suit her.

She also had "outdoor plumbing" and the likes...  when she had company, she would go into the back yard, call dinner over to her, wring its neck, pluck it, and serve it.... doesn't get fresher than that.

while to you, this lady may seem to be impoverished, but she probably lives extremely well, and is probably healthier than either you or me...

so careful of comparisons, they may not be appropriate.

...probably not the kind of person who is going to be caring for other people". This is a quote from a CBS interview (video below) on Obama.

But look at the picture below of Hussein's grandma, Sarah Obama. Does it look like that Obama is taking of her???

Many times people are most happy with the things that they are comfortable with. When I worked on an Indian reservation as a teen, I learned that it doesn't take much in the way of material stuff to create a basis for happiness.

His father was not a good man.  Doesn't mean he isn't.

I realize that in the minds of a few narrow people, living like this could not possibly be viewed as positive.  In reality, there are many happy people all over the world that do not live the lives that Americans do.

You can listen to her yourself.

Don't forget Obama's brother, living in a slum on a dollar a week.

or at least he'd like to. It amazes me, the free pass he got on this one among other issues that should have completely derailed his candidacy.

Talk about a teflon coated candidate, the MSM doesn't seem to care what he does, nor does half the country it seems
