Only living ancestor
Madelyn is Barack's only living ancestor. There is some confusion with Sarah Obama who is a step-grandmother. Americasroof (talk) 23:22, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
"Free Obama's White Grandmother"
The article currently includes this:
- An article by Chicago-based Internet journalist, broadcaster and critic Andy Martin ran under the headline "Free Obama's White Grandmother."[15]
Is this Andy Martin really someone whose opinion is noteworthy? He doesn't even have a Wikipedia page at the moment (although there's a redlink to him at Andy Martin). The inclusion of his view on Madelyn Dunham seems a bit odd to me. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
