Let me just begin by saying this story is NOT true: Obama Mom-in-Law Practicing Witchcraft?
Besides, it’s old news, like from way back when we were on one of our August vacations. Furthermore it was reported on exclusively by Rightwing wacko sites. And now most of them have mysteriously disappeared (the stories, not the authors), like this one from Townhall. Editorial discretion? Or… something more diabolical? Something with secret powers from the dark side (and I’m not talking about Toes this time)? You decide.
All I can tell you is that if Granny Robinson was a witch, it would explain a lot.
I’m not saying it’s true. In fact, I’m officially denying it. If you think I’m going to do anything to get on the wrong side of these two, you’re nuts.
Like I said, if it were true – and other critics much braver than me are saying it is – it explains a lot.
Butt remember, I’ve already officially gone on record denying it.
However in the interest of science and technology, I should point out that there is a world of difference between witches who practice the most holy religion of Wiccan, and Santeria, the mystical cult that originated on the island of Haiti and is a blend of Catholicism and African Tribal rituals. That’s right, the most holy religion of Voodoo.
I think just to be on the safe side, I’m going to also deny that Granny Robinson-Obama practices Voodoo. Nor have I ever seen her collecting up all the chicken bones after the fried chicken feasts that we never have around here. Furthermore, I know nothing about the current where-abouts of Eduardo, the Big White parrot who’s gone missing.
Nor have I ever seen these pictures before on my hard drive, and if called upon to testify I will swear they are both a photoshop.

Likewise, I would never dream of peeking into Granny’s room when she goes out for “tea” with her lady-friends from New Orleans. So I’ve no idea what she keeps in there, or why.

And that’s all I’m going to say about that.
I reflect, you decide, but don’t forget, I denied.

That shelf is not quite big enough to hold a voodoo doll of MOO. But if it was, think of the fun you could have if you "borrowed" it MOTUS!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe, I have one of my own...Ouch!
ReplyDeleteGranny Robinson seems to be prettier than Moochelle.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like MO has some competition :-P

Are they remaking Thunderdome?
ReplyDeletePerhaps this could explain the love and admiration of the MSM for the O's. Love potions are very popular with the Voodoo crowd.
ReplyDelete-
ReplyDeleteBoth Townhall and the Right Perspective have pulled the story....
Neverthless, I heard about this a long, long time ago.
Nothing unusual, really....a lot of folks do resort to all kinds of
means at a time of dire need. And, believe it or not, it DOES
work many, many times....
You see, it is the combination of faith, will and intent that can
bring a dramatic difference to a situation. Simply 'mind over
matter'.
I am sorry that it wasn't enough this time. Sincerely!!!
Link goes to a Washington Times article on the Black Panthers. The other article from which material is quoted appeared somewhere in 2009. At least a year ago. Someone is pulling some internet funny business - and it's not our breeze - i saw this switcheroo elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteMOTUS, an excellent, genius post. You keep topping yourself--don't know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm just curious--why does Essence makes these two look so . . . white? Just askin'.
ReplyDeleteAnd oooooh, the comments at Essence aren't neccesarily too flattering. I didn't go looking for this one--it was the first comment on the list.
"I think the last thing in the world any Obama should be worried about is style or any magazine cover. She should take her daily $1000.00 makeup and outfit out into the real world and see how it has nothing to do with a country that is falling down faster than ever. PALEASEEE!!!!! Are we a celebrity or leader..cuz she ain't leading nothing but the most magazine covers by a First lady."
Ouch!
I love this comment at the Essence site:
ReplyDeletesomeone should tell grilfriend to loose the big belts. who puts a belt over a sweater? also, why are they wearing makeup to make them look lighter? aren't they proud to be black???? they need to represent!
Yeah, woman, you need to represent! Couldn't agree more.
I didn't understand what this post was about until I went to the internet and yes apparently racists grandma has been practicing VODOO in the White House ---our peoples house there was even a report that a vodoo doll of Obama was found in Ohio during the campaign they are completely wacky can you imagine talk around the dinner table? "Now grandma don't put any more pins in John McCain"s arms"... how totally bizarre these folks are....
ReplyDeleteIt was reported, though not too extensively, around the time BO won the elections. One of the articles I read even mentioned that BO put his foot down that Granny R will not bring any of that voodoo stuff to the WH. But it was all pretty much hush-hush right after.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine if it was a Republican/conservative President in the same scenerio. It would have been shouted from the rooftops (like they are doing with the supposed dabbling in witchcraft in high school, by a Senate nominee with an R behind her name in DE) and it would have become a big news item for many news cycles. That is why I am not surprised that web is wiped clean of all the articles on the matter from the past. The fawning media will fall over themselves to protect their own, in this case the O's.
Right--plus the MSM is all in a lather because Christine O'Donnel, Senate Candidate from Delaware mentioned on some show 10 years ago that when she was in high school she dabbled in witchcraft--or, as George Bush said, "When I was young and stupid, I was young and stupid. But Voodoo can be practiced in the White House with nary a mention. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a skank.
ReplyDeleteSo get to the representin' FFA.
ReplyDeleteI agree although I don't qualify them (in spite of the media) as "folks". I reserve that term for people I know and to whom I am close. I hate how W, Baby Doc, FFA and most of the politicians have compromised this term.
ReplyDeleteaaaaccckk. First mo, then venus, then maxine waters, and now this thing! actually that dress would probably look okay in the right size on a slim woman. But rippling muscles on a transvestite-looking person do not belong in a dress.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.....explains a lot.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Just think. How much witchcraft did it take to steal the election and ensure her darling daughter could go on fabulous vacations and dress haute couture?
ReplyDeleteI second that, MOTUS, you are a true artist!
ReplyDeleteThe Williams sisters are hugely deluded about their appearance. Skankelicious is the best they can do, I fear.
ReplyDeleteAnyone see the interview with Auntie Zeituni? She's got the entitlement card deck down. "If I come to you as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen," etc.
ReplyDeleteToday's Medal of Honor ceremony: House-dress look, but no cleavage and appropriate length skirt.

Television footage showed vivid greens. This shows a print that is either stylized petunias or lilypads.
Um on the cleavage remark.
ReplyDeleteBetter color in this shot. He is wearing his Il Duce chin.

ReplyDeleteJeez Louise! She has on pink pumps!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbout Granny: Santeria or not, I am still in closure after being (reliably) informed that Laura Ingraham's hilarious MR calls were faked. Drat.
ReplyDeleteShe's representin'.

"..... He is wearing his Il Duce chin."

It must be a strain to always try to IMITATE someone else, no
wonder he is wasting away to almost nothing....
Even with Il Duce he can't measure up.
Benito was a natural and, besides, had great taste in WOMEN!!!
I guess airbrushing and photoshoping can do wonders. Racist Granny's (unaltered) appearance has been compared to that of James Brown. Here's a side by side comparison:
ReplyDeleteMOTUS, can you please put the robinson woman's face in James Brown's wig and clothes?
ReplyDeleteTrans-imaged Reflections DO. NOT. LIE.
ReplyDeleteMO seems to have made a better choice than the bright red cocktail dress; yet her dress is shinier and flashier than it needs to be for a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony. And as Anonymouse pointed out, she has on pink shoes with a green dress:
ReplyDeleteHer clothes are never appropriate because she is unable to sense what would be appropriate. She lacks.

ReplyDeleteShe is just living out what her nephew (BTW, how come the O's don't open their home, or at least help her out financially; instead of her having to live in public housing at our expense?) and his party in the power believe and are trying to enact into law (with the Dream Act, amnesty and non-enforcement of immigration laws)
ReplyDelete-
ReplyDeleteNow there will be TWO of them constantly yapping at us....
KEEP YOUR REMOTE HANDY!!!
Here's a recent official White House photo. They think he looks good with his chin up?
ReplyDeleteTwins! Except James is prettier
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. I love your work MOTUS! :-D
ReplyDeleteBingo! Good catch! Brother and Sister maybe??
ReplyDeleteKeep you nose way up in the air SOBoma!! :-$
ReplyDeleteOMG!
ReplyDeleteOf course the most vulnerable, that way when they end up losing the spin will be just that.
ReplyDeleteOh, goody! Can't wait to see all the faces/fashions/looks MO will bring on the campaign trail.
ReplyDeleteWonder what persona MO she would bring too: if she will go with the loud, angry, preachy harridan (circa 2008) or if she will go through another makeover and emerge as a warm, calm, soothing conciliatory angel.
Drat indeed, but brilliant!
ReplyDeleteWhat's it going to be? Sweetness and light, striving June Cleaver with the soft kitten voice imploring us to eat our vegies and vote Dem? Or the angry affirmative action, fist pounding, arm pumping Black Woman who's never been proud of her country? Judging from this week's house dresses and pink heels, I'm guessing it's softer, gentler phony Marilyn Moo.

Well, Jules, when she 'admonished' restauranteurs a few days
ago, it was a mixture of the two.
Ah, yes - one addition: a new wig-hat with a 'Veronica Lake
over-the-eye-lock' - shadows of "I Married A Witch".....?
</span>
She will be sickening, no matter which persona she chooses. I'm guessing her valium voice will be the one. Otherwise she can't hide her rage at all of the whiteys she'll be looking down at from her lofty perch/podium. Ho hum...Here comes Tweedle Dum! Fail!
ReplyDeleteEither way, I think it both 'poll numbers plummeting' BO and 'high and mighty vacationing in Spain' MO are toxic. That's why not rethinking the plan to campaign is so narcissistic. I wonder how many candidates (who didn't even want to be seen with him when he went to their districts) would have the guts to say, "Please don't come here."
ReplyDeleteI am all for both of them getting out there. In the current climate, they will do more harm than good (except for maybe that 'call me Senator'/Boxer woman)
I'd expect to see her Mother Theresa persona with dash of earnestness.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember a time as a tweenager where a girlfriend and I would trade a shoe, or we would put opposing colored ribbons in our hair, a shirt inside out, or simply do things that expressed a rebellious feeling by flying in the face of the norm. MOO has apparantly been stuck in this stage for decades.
ReplyDeleteShe has risen to the highest honor in the land any woman has yet obtained - that of first lady - yet still insists on expressing her tweenager side with a butt ass ugly dress designed for a two year old with dancing algae, wearing heavy pearls and Mommie's pink high heels. She wears this get-up to honor a medal of honor recipient, a war hero. Like a tweenager, she is stuck in the psychology that it is really all about her. There are absolutely no words to describe the self deceit, the utter disregard for all things civilized, the total lack of intellect that this behavior indicates. Except to say that she may well be deranged. Meaning - sick in the fucking head.
Do stick it once in the gam for me, be a dear?
ReplyDeleteJenny, whatever it took, it wasn't enough to get a salary for dear MO as First Lady, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteIt is better, but what is with the sudden double strand of pearls here and at church -- Republican outreach effort? Or did BO give her the necklace to make up for whatever made her huff off to Spain?
ReplyDeleteWow. I congratulate you on hitting the nail on the head!
ReplyDeleteMOTUS, you have been on a fabulous nonstop roll! Every post is more hilarious and impressive than the last! Today's is just phenomenal. I am gobsmacked at the deliciousness of it.
ReplyDeletePlease know how your marvelous work is indispensable during these days of quietly roiling American sentiment. There are moments when I feel I'm on crazy pills . . . and then reading one of your nonpareil dispatches turns the mood around to a much better one.
Thank you from the bottom of this Mean Old Lady's heart! You are a treasure!
I found these on my hard drive...
ReplyDeleteaaaaagggh. okay I asked for it
ReplyDeleteDays of quiet despair
ReplyDeleteJune Cleaver redux. In vibrant green with cerulean blue morning glories. Fabric and dress designed by Barbara Tfank, who often does elegant clothes. The silhouette is intentionally 50s. This looks like a housedress.
ReplyDeletePepto Bismol shoes do not go with this dress, no matter how much you hate what her fans call "matchy matchy". Sometimes things need to be "go withy" or look "tacky tacky".
MOTUS, I'm very late to the party today, but had to tell you just how brilliant and absolutely fabulous you are!
ReplyDeleteThe gems you've been serving up lately are incredible and I am in awe of your talents and 'resources'.
The witchy womens must go in the time capsule!! Amazing!!!
MOO's first stop is Milwaukee for that shovel-ready project Russ Feingold!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow Bettyjean will tall us what she REALLY thinks!
ReplyDeleteShe wears this stuff to be noticed.
ReplyDeleteDoes she really believe that a six foot tall 200 lb black woman with angry eyebrows is going to fail to be noticed? To be MIA in a crowd? If she is the first lady of the United States?

ReplyDeleteGranny Robinson has nothing on me. I stocked up on gris-gris and black candles last time I was in New Orleans. Bring it, old woman. I don't live near Salem for nothing. I can see exorcism from my house.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of despair...look at the body language between BO and man's (supposed) best friend, Bo (BTW, I haven't seen any pictures of them interacting in any way - other than the one with Bo leading BO on the leash)
ReplyDeleteHow you treat your pets and how they respond to you tells a lot about you, right? I guess BO reserves all his 'touchy-feely' expressiveness to the humans in his life. Or Bo might just be the kids' dog or worse, just a prop. Anyway, this picture made me sad; poor Bo:
Excellent. Fair game for attack--you betcha.
ReplyDeleteNow that's the truth, Sina. This site has become the only one I simply must check every day. I read various political sites, too, but they are all so depressing.
ReplyDeleteThis one cheers me up!
That's the way he walks with everyone...out front and far ahead. The dog is no exception. I've made videos about it because it's something I've noticed for a long time. BHO is truly a despicable human being.
ReplyDeleteI top you. My family is from Salem. My mom, may she rest in peace, was the original Salem witch...Laura the Horror. I'm only kidding...not.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Jules! The more they campaign, the poorer the dems will do! Yes! Get out there, MO and BO...and don't forget the pink pumps!
ReplyDeleteThat dog is not just trailing O, he is flush up against the wall cowering.
ReplyDeleteOh marvelous. This outfit is not as bad as I feared, but still inappropriate. The colors are too bright, the cut, while more conservative (no fat knees, no flat chest -- thank heavens) is still wrong for this occasion, which is, as Betty ann wonderfully says, an occasion for solemnity, respect, decorum (words that are not in Mooch's vocabulary). I encourage everybody to read about Sgt Etchenberg's heroism, it will bring tears to your eyes, tears of pride, gratitude and righteous anger that he was denied for so long this mark of respect.
ReplyDeleteDogs are excellent judges of character, BTW they always like me ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is what BO meant by people talking about him like a dog: people talk about him the way his dog talks about him.
I wish she would come to Oklahoma and campaign for Jari Askins for governor.
ReplyDeleteNot that I want to see her, and I doubt that she would make it to my county which is full of people who bitterly cling to guns and religion, but appearances by MO would probably put Mary Fallin (endorsed by Sarah Palin) right over the top.
I first noticed Mooch when she wore the wildly inappropriate red party dress to the posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony last year. I started googling her at that point and discovered Motus, Birdy, et al. Pictures revealed everyone else to be appropriately and respectfully dressed, while Moo wore a garish cocktail frock.
ReplyDeletei honestly didn't pay Moo any mind till that one dress, and it's been quite a show ever since.
MO hits the campaign trail.... sort of.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the media is terribly excited, the fact is that all of her events so far (possible exception in Colorado) are fundraisers for Democrats in blue states --Wisconsin, Washington, Colorado & California & a national Dem Party event in N Y. These are not campaign events open to the public. The geniuses have figured out that she might not draw comparable audiences to those who regularly show up in tens of thousands for Palin.
No, these are closed, staged events. MO will be talking to people willing to pay big bucks to see and mingle with her. In other words, true believers who are loaded. Ordinary voters, not so much.
In the media fantasy, she's widely loved by the people for her "down to earth" personality and genuineness as a Mom, wife, etc and of course her fabulousness. In fact, her poll numbers are low for a first lady ("around 50%" as the media says, meaning probably lower) and dropping after her vacation extravaganzas. She may well be the most popular member of the Obama regime, but that is not saying much. Hopefully some pics & video will emerge from these events.
I'm still reeling over the pink shoes today.
You should share that video here sometime, Granny J. Now that you mention it, I can think of a couple of times he has done that: on the way to the beer summit and the Middle East peace talks.
ReplyDeletegreenlantern, you make an excellent point. That dog feel no connection with his 'master'.
It's like interpreting the Want Ads:
ReplyDelete"down to earth" = body odor
"genuineness" = nag
"fabulousness" = unfathomable
OMG!
ReplyDeleteOo, oo, do you have any goofer dust?
ReplyDeleteBut don'cha love the White House "rolling out" MOOch?
ReplyDeleteYou forgot "fixer-upper".
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see her get even more weird on the campaign trail.
