[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 885343, member: 1246"] [COLOR=#990000](CNSNews.com)[/COLOR] — First Lady Michelle Obama said at a fundraiser in Providence, Rhode Island, on Friday night that a bank where Barack Obama’s grandmother had worked discriminated against her for nearly two decades “because she was a woman.” However, the Washington Post reported earlier this year that Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, had been the first female vice president of the Bank of Hawaii. Meanwhile, Barack and Michelle Obamas’ 2009 tax return, posted on the White House website, indicates the Obamas inherited almost $500,000 worth of the bank’s stock from the president’s grandmother. At the Friday fundraiser, held in a private home, Mrs. Obama explained why President Obama wants everybody to get a “fair shake.” “Or can we rebuild our economy for the long term so that work pays, and responsibility is rewarded, and everyone — everyone — gets a fair shake and does their fair share?” Mrs. Obama asked, according to an official White House transcript. “That is the choice we face. Those are the stakes.” [/QUOTE]
