Well it would have made for a good liberal sympathy saga!

It means Michelle Obama do NOT visit her father's grave regularly; if she does she would know her father's grave was no longer there. OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND! What a hypocrite!

@ susie, who asked "Didn't Michelle remember where her father was buried?"

Of course she did. It was the media's fault for not fact-checking what they decided would help their ad revenue before printing it.

My inlaws are buried in a small outlying town where we live. There are only 2 cemetaries there. I could not tell you the names of either one. It's the one because they are so very old without entrance signs.

This is not uncommon folks...

Copp's Hill Burying Ground was founded in 1659 in Boston.There is a historical marker that states that people were doing the same crime. Digging up the dead and reselling the plots.

For those that posted the cruel remarks and Obama slurs on this story. There really is no need of it. This is a deeply personal issue for the families buried there. This could (and maybe is) happening in your home state too....don't cast stones. If you're truly "right-wing" you would pray for those that are hurt in this.

Didn't Michelle remember where her father was buried?

This whole story is as disturbing as the couple in Florida who were killed. They adopted special needs kids and were killed in an apparent robbery.

What has our society come to?

I pray that this cemetary is left alone as it is in the same city.
I will also pray for the families that have been hurt by this action.

There is a special place for people that will do this.

soooo, did CNN verify whether he was or not before it was reported the first time? Cemeteries generally have lists of who is buried in them and they are public documents easily accessible if you spend, oh, let's say 5 minutes talking to the City Clerk or one of the people in charge at the cemetery.

The first lady's father and thousands of other fathers.

It is atrocity that it happened. The fact that Ms. Obama's father was buried there does not make it worse.

That's so gross, we feel like pukin'. Leave the dead alone and let them rest in peace. We do not purchase haunted houses.

I not only hope the first lady's father's grave has not been touched, but I pray for the others as well.

This is a terrible result of morbid greed.

The totality of this story epitomizes a greedy sickness in America which has, sadly, become more and more prevalent.

My prayers to the families of all who have been affected by this tragedy.

These people need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and then some!! Truly disgusting!

How sad for all these families. I hope Mrs. Obama's family is not one of the victims in this thoughtless vindictive crime.

Our thoughts are with you and your family, Mrs. Obama.

to desocrate someone, anyones, place of burial and memory

however

we need to also think like Sweden does about mandatory cremation

I realize writing this that I will stir up lots of negative postings, but it is true

Regardless of whose grave was disturbed, the people responsible should be horse whipped, there is no reason in the world that could excuse their behavior and greed.

This is nothing new African American funeral homes and buriel sites are well know for doing this. Not only do they do this type businesss many have been caught taking bodies out of coffins and puting them in pine boxes then reselling the coffins.

I'm appalled by this dispicable act. The suspects need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. From what I've gathered of the story is that there may even be caskets buried on top of others. My heart goes out to the families who are affected by this.
