Obama Visits Ailing Grandmother

ABC News’ Sunlen Miller Reports: After spending about two hours with his ill grandmother in her apartment this morning, Sen. Barack Obama , D-Ill., took a short walk alone in the Makiki neighborhood of Honolulu outside his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham’s, apartment.

The somber looking presidential candidate strolled by himself slowly along “Young” street – wearing a black polo shirt tucked into his jeans, brown flip flops, sunglasses, and a blackberry on his hip. His hands were in his pockets as he walked along the street lined with modest apartment buildings and homes.

The walk in the neighborhood was one familiar to Senator Obama – he grew up in the apartment building where his grandmother still lives today, and attended school at Punahou just a few blocks away. Obama has written in his books about the walks he and his grandfather would take in that very neighborhood. Sen. Obama’s grandfather, Stanley Dunham, passed in 1992.

Obama took a 36 hour break from the campaign trail to visit his ailing grandmother who is suffering from a broken hip and osteoporosis. After spending most of the day visiting with her inside her apartment today, he will return to the campaign trail on Saturday morning for an event in Reno, NV.

you know, remarks like barackhusseinobama, is exactly why the World is never at peace. How one race can think they are better than another. Hatred will never bring anything but bad results. Time for all people and nations to work together to bring our world out of a recession. Time to work together for improvements in healthcare and new developments in medicine. People like this person does nothing for our World.

I think that calling his grandmother “a typical white woman” about covers the phrase “throwing her under the bus”. After all, that’s how we all describe our relatives, right – by color?? He says the prez race isnt about ‘race’ but he injects it into his talk right and left. He’s got issues with it, period.

This clearly shows how caring and wonderful Senator Obama is. I was brought up by my grandmother too. She is gone now. She died at the age of 95 yrs.
I missed her though. I am praying for her.

How ironic that he has a lawsuit recently filed against him about his birth certificate and now he has to make a trip during the last 2 weeks of the campaign to see his sick grandma… and to make it look even more legitimate, he says ‘she might not make it through Nov 4th’. He is covering his tracks. Or trying to.

Why do you put stories like this on the blog? This should be a short editorial with no underlying message. You should know that the creeps will come out and spout there tasteless comments that have nothing to do with this particular story. I don’t know which is more disappointing, your purpose in telling the story, or the nuts on the blog.His grandmother, the woman who helped raise him, is dying. Show some respect and tact.

Posted by: edweena | October 24, 2008, 6:01 pm 6:01 pm

Why Obama is fighting a lawsuit that is questioning if he is a US citizen? And we want to know why the DNC is stepping in to help fight it. And I question why the haste to go to Hawaii when his grandmother was supposedly released from the hospital last week? Maybe it’s all coincidental… but back to the first question. Why Obama is fighting a lawsuit that is questioning if he is a US citizen? It makes no sense.
candidate, they have no character. That makes no sense either. This is a free country.

Posted by: msa123 | October 24, 2008, 6:04 pm 6:04 pm

It is hard to know what to say to all the right wingers who have only propaganda swirling around their heads. Get some help? All of this is not about you? Take that hate to your grave but don’t bother me with it?
Having been around the block a bit and lost very close friends and relatives, Barack seems to be leading his life gracefully and thoughtfully. There are times, when elders are gravely ill, that children just distract from the process of moving to another level. This, I am sure, is a precious moment between a grandson/son and the woman who made it possible for him to be the man he is.
There is no need to share, at this moment, ideas on how he should have done this differently or that you yourself are not moved, really. And shame on Hannity and Michaal Savage – who cannot see through their hate and suspicion to understand basic human emotions. These kinds of statements only show how far from normal these people are. This is not about you or them. It is about Barack Obama and his grandmother.
My prayers are with us all.

he called her a typical white woman and disparaged her;now the politician wants to be at her bedside as she dies. great pr. perhaps he should have been at his mom’s bedside as she was dying. perhaps he should be a man and stop hating whites.

WOW; reading the hate and stupidity and repugnant comments in this and all other Blogs just blows me away. Who are these people? They are scary in extremis. Whackjobs of the first order. After this election, which I’m sure Obama will win (because I have an abiding trust in the good sense of most of my fellow Americans), I suggest they just go somewhere and form their own new nation since they obviously detest the traditional American values of tolerance and fair play. Maybe thet can do us all a favor and take McCain and Plain with them. They are an embarrassment to the good name “American.” I’m not being intolerant and I don’t want to harm them — I just want them to be happy, which they can never be under the bright shining lights of decency and idealism.

What he said was that she held views of minorities and sometimes made statements about them that “made him cringe.”
He was being honest. Most of all, he was saying he understood the divide among blacks and white in America. He is in a precarious situation – having both black and white ancestors. That’s all he was saying. Make a mountain out of a molehill, will you.

I don’t care if Obama is a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hebrew, Buddist, or no religion. It doesn’t matter. Isn’t that one of the wonderful things that America is built on. What matters to me is that he be intelligent, thoughtful, kind, and truly wanting a better America.
What I see is neocons and republicans who are scared to death of Obama and I believe their fear stems from the fact that just his presence presents a threat to them as it shows them the disparity in their IQ’s (low) to his IQ (High). And on top of that he is half white and half black. This really pisses them off. I have republican friends who cannot get past this fact.
I have cast my vote for the next President of the United States and that will be Obama.

Posted by: democratic | October 24, 2008, 6:28 pm 6:28 pm

for some reason this story reminds of Edwards’ scandal before Edwards himself admitted the affair. I have no intention to say bad things about his grandma and Obama himself. But he already let me down once when the Wright stuff surfaced. Now the myth around his birth certificate…
Obama, can you just ask for the release of your original document and let this issue be buried? Or, can you just send the copy you have now to the court and get it examined, and call this thing over?
I don’t see this as smear. I think Obama doing nothing is hurting him.

Posted by: Susie W. | October 24, 2008, 6:49 pm 6:49 pm

You know, I was on a blog recently with someone who was especially awful – and managed to find out she was somone’s great grandmother! Do all those of you who seem to hate Obama because of the propaganda you have been fed think you are going to live forever? Do you want your last thought to be something hateful.
Think for a moment if you can come up with one positive thing about Obama – if you can’t, you need to get away from what you are reading and hearing and do something before your heart turns into a tiny rock. Your “facts” are not really “facts” – you are being used and abused by a propaganda machine that is top rate – the Republican party.
The sky is blue in my world. Obama is a great leader and a man of incredible promise. McCain did heroic things for the good of our country. A grandson who visits his grandmother on her deathbed is a good man. Work on finding the blue in your sky, remember you aren’t here forever.
My heart goes out to the Obamas.
Love, Mom

Obama is using his grandmother’s illness for political gain. He’s used it all week, to deflect attention from Biden’s idiotic remarks about how we’re in for trouble, internationally speaking, if the Chosen One wins. Voila! Bring on sick grandma, who MUST be visited before election day, but not right away, because then he can’t get 4 days of positive, oozing, nauseating coverage first.
I have no quarrel with him visiting Grandma. I just don’t think he should be sainted for it.

Liz, I feel sorry for your kids. First of all, push the post sign once. Second, you are clearly so full of hate you cannot even empathize with someone losing an important person in their lives. And third, you would take time to write something like that when the same energy could go into something positive.
My prayers this moment are for all the Liz’s in this country because their world is very fragile, full of judgments and propaganda, and very, very fearful. I am concerned for them. I have talked with people like Liz and they are so sure – of things I know are not true – so, so sure.
Liz, you can let all of this go. You can choose to be happy and live every day in God’s light. You can remember that Obama, like all of us, is a Child of God and realize that by throwing this stuff around you are saying bad things about God’s creation, too. We work for someone who is greater than us – who doesn’t tell us to hate, but tells us to love the least among us.
I believe in your ability to grow your heart, Liz.
Love, Mom

Actually, dear, he had addressed that issue by (1) having Powell’s support on his back and (2) convening his military advisers in Virginia. He’s ready, and he’s shown us he’s ready.
Only the McCain crowd thinks he isn’t — that includes you. Obama’s the teflon guy (like Reagan was) and this attack, again, will not stick. McCain is like the boy who cried wolf, and nobody takes him serious anymore. At least nobody from the unity crowd.

This visit to Hawaii is melancholy for Obama, remembering his visits there with his mentor Frank Marshall Davis,the communist subservient to the Soviet Union, whom he wrote so glowingly about in his book Dreams of My Father”. Obama,s statement heard on national TV of his desire to “redistribute the wealth”is right out of the playbook of Karl Marx. Obama also said that the U.S. is no longer a Christian Nation, but Muslim, Jewish, Buddist, Christian. Our nation’s forefathers were wrong, huh, Obama? What he is wishing for is that America will by the turn of the century no longer have a majority population of Christians, just like Western Europe that will be Muslim. He most likely wants America to be Godless.

You often hear of people dying of a broken heart.
I wonder how much Gramma Obama’s heart was broken at the utter disrespect of her grandson? He publicly disrespected her for political gain. I think this goes against the character of Obama more than anything else that has come out. She, in her later years, brought him up and has more to do with his success than anyone.
Obama is a blatant liar as well. Most politicians are, but he has made it an art form. And his minions in the MSM are only all to ready to ignore that as long as their Messiah takes office.
It is strange that the black community with 90+ percent support for Obama, are doing the usual racist accusations at Republicans. Obama would be nothing without the white vote, and not even close without the black vote. Yeah Dems are the caring un-racists alright.
Tell me another one.

Wow, y’all go back and read what you wrote as if you were a stranger. Aren’t you proud that the first amendment protects your right to spew such vitriol? Ick.
It would be interesting to see what all of you might say if it was Palin who went to her dying grandfather instead of Obama to his dying grandmother.
I hope no one ever insults your grand-children, who ever they are, for coming to visit you on your death bed under any circumstances. It is truly unkind.

Many posts in the blog scare me: how can a nation with so many bigots hope to once again be the Shining Light of Liberty for the rest of the world? If Obama is elected, I fervently hope that we all listen to our “better angels” and work together for the good of this nation and this fragile planet. That is the only way that our children and grandchildren will have a life better than ours.

If you Obama supporters who claim to be inclusive, and do not want wide generalizations of an identifiable group, please apply your supposed “tolerance” in this case. Not all McCain and Republican supporters are racists, though I know that prejudice is what you are often taught.

I think the solution to racism is not to ignore that it exists, as the first poster implies. But instead, it is to recognize that there are some real differences in our society between groups before moving on to create a more respectful environment. Only when we draw out what the problem actually is can we then address it.

It is so sad, isn’t it. A man is visiting his gravely ill grandmother and all this hate comes out.
this is the result of what began 20 years ago with Atwater’s strategy to divide to the country and it’s continued ever since. The propagandists promote the hate and anger and it festers.
To the point where we cannot even be civilized or decent or show respect for a person who is going through a tragedy regardless of party.
Some of it is from republicans seeing teh end of the power and rule and desperate to grab onto anything including hate, lies and distortions in order to hold onto something fast slipping away.
Seeing their party in tatters, many of their noted people from Reagans administration to the thinkers in the party leaving it and supporting Obama.
It rears it’s ugly head at the mcCain rallies that fosters the supporters to yell out Kill him and other horrid things.
It shows itself in some of the worst behavior by people who post on here and in the cover of anonymity say things that would normally shock even them if said aloud to family and friends.
Hopefully this is the end to the division and after the election we will finally see the beginning of a new era where civility and decency return to our society and where people of opposing parties can put down their identity with a certain party and just reach out as a person with a heart and sould and express sympathy for someone who is facing a family tragedy and not feel the need to express themselves in the most inhumane and lowest ways and feel ashamed for those who would.

MCCAIN SUPPORTERS:
Read this from POLITICO:
Blame game: GOP forms circular firing squad
Senior GOP hands close to President Bush and top congressional aides denouncing the candidate for what they said was an unfocused message and poorly executed campaign.
Top Republican officials have let it be known they are distressed about McCain’s organization. Coordination between the McCain campaign and Republican National Committee, always uneven, is now nearly dysfunctional, with little high-level contact and intelligence-sharing between the two.
At his Northern Virginia headquarters, some McCain aides are already speaking of the campaign in the past tense. Morale, even among some of the heartiest and most loyal staffers, has plummeted. And many past and current McCain advisers are warring with each other over who led the candidate astray.

I have seen some of the most VILE comments on this board about Obama. There may be many, valid reasons why you may not to vote for him, and that’s fine. That’s why this is a free country. And I know I won’t be getting through to those that are passionately ignorant about the rumors about him. But for those with concerns, who would like to consider themselves EDUCATED voters, here is the link you can go to proving his birth certificate:
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html
Here’s the kicker. This is a non-partisan website where they critique both sides, and guess what: they are both spreading misleading information. This site is run by the Annenberg Foundation and Leonore Annenberg IS ENDORING MC CAIN (google it)! Got that? And even better, it was the Annenberg Foundation’s Education Challenge board on which Obama worked with Ayers. So I guess the Leonore Annenberg who endorses MC CAIN is “palling around with terrortists” too (and no, I don’t think about this well-reputable foundation for a minute). Give me a break. Learn the truth about these facts and don’t be blindly led by just anything that you read or hear. I sincerely hope that all voters are interested enough to do some investigating of their own.
EDUCATE YOURSELF. Vote based on what you learn to be the truth and what you believe in for God’s sake. It’s what we should all do as great people of this great country.

Why do some of you keep harping on Obama’s birth certificate? John McCain was born in the Pamana Canal–or was he????? I read that his records cannot be found—-so,watch what you are saying about Barak Obama!! McCain/Palin are two liars, not deserving to lead our country! Can’t you people read??? Even now, Palin has been found of abusing her power as Gov. of Alaska, and,charging Alaska travel expenses for her kids! And, look at the clothes you Republicans are paying for! Not just for her, either, I read that they even bought clothes for the father of Palin’s daughter’s baby! Now, that is going a little toooooo far! Palin is way out of her league–can you honestly say she is experienced enough for VP and Pres.,if called upon?? If you believe that, then you need to get your head out of your A–!! And as for McCain–he is too old (I am a 67 yr old white female, recently retired from the Banking Industry after 31 yrs.), had completely ruined his reputation running his dirty campaign–he needs to retire to be in one of their 7 homes!! Read the article on Cindy McCain in Good Housekeeping saying she knows how it feels worrying about gas money, putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their heads!! Her and her 4/6 million dollars she made last year!!! I cannot believe these people!! McCain/Palin are an embarrassment to America–can you imagine either one speaking to a foreign dignatary?? Well, you betcha, Sarah can!! Wink! Wink!

Any coward with a computer can reveal their deepest and most disgusting thoughts on here. Apparently, comment boards are the main place where racist cowards get their jollies. It’s not like they have any friends or enjoy reading or educating themselves or anything, so this is the only place they have.
Welcome to America 2008, cowards. The younger generation won’t put up with your ignorance anymore. The white people who come on here and say such cruel things make me feel ashamed for us all. We have to start standing up and letting you know that it won’t work anymore. If you were truly Christians, you’d agree. I never knew Americans were so coldhearted.
I’m a white southerner and I am completely embarrassed by you all. I’m pleased to say that most of America isn’t as ignorant as these posters.
I have already voted for Obama.
You should vote for him too, unless you enjoy sending billions to Iraq, not having health care, and giving tax breaks to rich people. And from the sounds of you people, I doubt you make more than $250,000 so I’m not sure why you continue to disparage Mr. Obama. It’s mind boggling.

There aren’t that many people left who have not made up their minds, contrary to what you say.

all4truth,
Unfortunately, the people who question Obama’s birth certificate WANT to believe the moronic things Limbaugh is telling them. Even though it’s been debunked over and over, they’ll continue to bring it up. The fact that they continue to bring it up shows you that they have a major issue with Obama. It is race? I honestly think so. Fear mongering and racism are Republican traits. That’s why the GOP is now extremely unpopular. That’s why 51% of Americans are Democrats compared to 38% that are Republicans (a lot of them are voting Obama this go around and hoping that their party changes dramatically someday). I expect the 38% to dwindle even more as America progresses.
I bet If Obama hand delivered his birth certificate to them himself, they’d claim it was fake or find another reason to hate him. It’s pathetic and they are sub par, in my humble opinion.

I am saddened by some of the comments written here by people who are hateful . Mr. Obama is a good man and so is Biden,they have family illnesses and deaths to deal with just like you and I and they are not letting their positions in the world cloud their judgment so far as to not think of family first. I for one find it refreshing and it gives me hope that the American people who have a heart for others besides themselves and their money market fund or whatever may be making some headway in getting America back to the basics that make us a good country. CARING ABOUT OTHERS IS A GOOD THING! Wake up people ,Obama is the real deal,the others have sold us down the river,he is our paddle to get out and if we stand behind him and not greed ,America will again have a good reputation. Remember it took 8 years to unravel a lot of good and he will need our support to fix the broken systems of greed that is breaking our back. Please do not be crumby old crabs and let us all unite to keep America together and build each other up.There is enough Sun for everyone,so can we share?

THANK YOU AMBER FOR THE NICE COMMENT YOU GAVE ME. let me explain some things here,even if obama is elected,the troops will have to stay in iraq untill that country can handle its own security,and thats what our troops are doing is training the iraqi’s in police and security operations,unfortunatly they may have to stay there most all of a first presidential term. the same will happen in afganistan,but most of the troops in iraq will go toafganistan to help secure that country. thats the way the cookies will fall on the next president,whoever it it.

Barack Obama is to be admired for going to visit his ailing grandmother. He is a man of great compassion and understanding. He is not impulsive as his opponent Senator Mccain who suspends a campaign to run to Washington to deal with an ailing economy. Then John Mccain offers nothing in Washington to help mend the economy. And by the way, John McCain accuses Barack Obama of wanting to spread the wealth around. Well John Mccain just did that by taking campaign mpney and spreading this wealth on his running mate Sarah Palin to the tune of 150,000$ . Now thats what we call frugality!

You are also stupid: Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. Have you figured out what that means? Well, Hawaii is one of our 50 states, making Obama a citizen.

I have never seen such a bunch of pathetic Obama-haters in my life. So many of you are so un-informed and ill-informed – you spout your paranoid, hysterical progoganda without showing any intellectual depth whatsoever. For instance, all this garbage about Obama throwing his grandmother under the bus. When he gave that speech, I completely understood what he was saying. I come from a solid, white, middle-class background. My grandmother was one of the kindest, most wonderful women in the world who at the age of 80 was taking a bus to go to areas of the city where we live to help the less fortunate. But I also know she had a very un-enlightened view of minorities. I fully believe if she was alive in this day and age, she would be much more enlightened.

Those who say the Obama birth certificate has been vetted don’t understand what the problem is.
The “Certificate of Live Birth” on the Obama site is NOT a birth certificate. He could have been born in Kenya, been flown to Hawaii a few days later and then filed in Hawaii for the “Certificate of Live Birth” and also had the notice of birth listed in the Hawaiian newspaper. All they need to do is show proof that the birth occurred in Hawaii via an actual birth certificate and/or Hawaii hospital records. There can be only one reason why they have not done so. This could be big…the October surprise.

Posted by: greg | October 25, 2008, 2:29 am 2:29 am

In addition, why is the other grandmother and his half brother claiming Obama was born in Kenya…mother was not allowed to fly back to Hawaii due to airline policies regarding expected birth…

Posted by: greg | October 25, 2008, 2:38 am 2:38 am

It is possible that Obama conspired his way to the precipice of the world’s biggest job, involving a vast network of people and government agencies over decades of lies. Anything’s possible. But step back and look at the overwhelming evidence to the contrary and your sense of what’s reasonable has to take over.”
In fact, the conspiracy would need to be even deeper than our colleagues realized. In late July, a researcher looking to dig up dirt on Obama instead found a birth announcement that had been published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Sunday, Aug. 13, 1961:
Obama’s birth announcement
The announcement was posted by a pro-Hillary Clinton blogger who grudgingly concluded that Obama “likely” was born Aug. 4, 1961 in Honolulu.
Of course, it’s distantly possible that Obama’s grandparents may have planted the announcement just in case their grandson needed to prove his U.S. citizenship in order to run for president someday. We suggest that those who choose to go down that path should first equip themselves with a high-quality tinfoil hat. The evidence is clear: Barack Obama was born in the U.S.A.

Why do you even waste your time writing these hateful things? You should spend that time with YOUR families. Get over yourselves and just admit that you are racists. And that you’re jealous that this man is intelligent, strong, thoughtful and educated enough to be a candidate for president. That’s something you could never do. And on top of it he’s black!

This campaign has been a long one. I never knew such bigotry and hatred existed based upon skin color. To think that the simple-minded, ignorant, uneducated racists think they are better than ANYONE simply because they are white is laughable. Then again, maybe you just can’t stand the fact that Obama overcame all kinds of adversity, without blaming anyone, to be a success. People like those who have written vile comments know that Obama is better than you. Not because of what he has accomplished but because he is a decent person who would never think of saying any of the things you have about him and his family. The root of all of your anger and hatred is the fact that you really do not have a very high opinion of yourselves. Therapy is usually available with most healthcare plans.

If you want Obama to show his birth certificate I want McCain to show his original birth certificate also. Was McCain not born in the Panama Canal Zone? Suspect to me! Unamerican at the least.
”””””””””””””””
That has long ago been done. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone on a military base, and that qualifies him as a natural born citizen. Certainly not unamerican, his father was protecting the land that you now live in, so actually it was very American. So don’t be suspicious of McCain’s birth certificate, save all those suspicions for your man OBAMA.

Why has Obama’s other grandmother stated Obama was born in Kenya? Apparently, Obama’s mother was not allowed to fly back to Hawaii due to the potential of giving birth on the airplane, thus, she flew back to Hawaii a few days after birth. She then filed for the “Certificate of Live Birth” in Hawaii and had an announcement placed in the local newspaper. This is proper and customary in Hawaii at that time. Thus, the “Certificate of Live Birth” is real, but it may also be true that he was born in Kenya. In this case, according to the U.S. law, Obama’s mother would have to have been a U.S. citizen for 5 years after age 14 for Obama to be considered a natural born citizen. Unfortunately, she gave birth when she was 18, which was only 4 years, not the required 5 years. Thus, technically, Obama would not not be natural born U.S. citizen. If elected, and the lawsuit continues, I suspect the Congress will change the law regarding the 5 year requirement retroactively.

Actually, I will vote for Obama. However, this a consitutional legal issue that can be easily settled, but for some reason Obama and DNC have not provided the evidence that Obama was actually born in Hawaii. Why not? Regarding the Newsweek article
http://www.newsweek.com/id/154599/
listed above, the entire argument is about the posted “Certificate of Live Birth” as to whether or not it was fraud. What I am saying is that is not the real issue. I believe that the “Certificate of Live Birth” is not a fraud, but Obama could still have been born in Kenya. Note, when Newsweek requested the long form which lists the doctor, hospital, etc, etc, the State of Hawaii did not respond.
Regarding McCain birth, Congress dealt with that issue a long time ago.

I guess McCain’s scurilous accusations against Barack while he is away visiting his ailing grandmother goes back to the old saying “While the cat is away the rodents will play”. I would appreciate it if someone on this blog could explain to me what has happened to the values of the grand old republican party such as truthfulness, morality, fairness, small government, which were once the backbone of a proud republican party. Today the republican party is none of that. All I hear form John McCain is Joe the Plumber, Sarah the simpleton, Ashley the self mutilator. One day John is for something, the next day he is against that very same something, and most likely tomorrow, depending on the audience, he will change his mind again. I find I can’t believe a single thing he says, he is ruining the party!

Why had it been 19 months since he visited his grandmother?

Posted by: Lee | October 25, 2008, 9:48 pm 9:48 pm

Hmmm, let’s see:
1. He went because he really loves her and he’s worried.
2. He had to go back to Hawaii to address the birth certificate issue (though I can’t see why he’d have to go in person).
3. It’s OK for him to suspend HIS campaign, but when McCain did so he was ‘erratic’.
4. He’s plum tired and needs a rest and he needed to visit his grandma anyway.
5. He’d look like a villain if she died and he didn’t go (though, I can’t help but to notice that he didn’t go immediately).
All in all, pretty much of a non-story from what I can tell. But in a time when people are whining about Palin’s dresses and flying her kids I guess it merits at least a little scrutiny.

Reading this blog actually makes me ashamed I live in this supposedly free country. A man visits his ailing relative, and all of the hate comes out. Amazing. It is a simple solution to all of this, on Nov 4th when you vote, vote for the candidate of your choice. That is your choice, but to spew all of this is sick. I read the very distrubing comment concerning his wife. What is so amazing is all of you claim to be so educated, and american. If you fill that Senator McCain is your choice, then that is how you should vote. If you fill that Senator Obama is your choice that is how you should vote. If you fill that a canidate does not satisfy you, then fine, that is your opinion that you are intitaled to have. But to make all the racist comments that I read is totally not necessary. The election gives everyone the right to vote for the canidate of their choice. People get a grip on yourself, this type of behavior is the type of things that are dividing our country. We are all americans, no matter what the religious, or ethnic backgroung consists of. No one group is any more entitled than the other.
My prayers go out to Senator Obama at a time that everyone should view as a private matter. Lord help those that seem not to be able to help therselves.

Quick question: How much is Sen. Obama spending to fly to HI and back in his customized Boeing 757? Will he repay the DNC or the campaign for his personal usage of the aircraft?
Answer: Brad Blakeman, who was in charge of scheduling for President Bush, says a Boeing 757 costs about $20,000 an hour for fuel, crew, and maintenance. Since a trip to Hawaii entails 10 hours of flying time from Chicago, the total cost for each round-trip comes to about $400,000.
Obama used the Boeing 757 for trips to Hawaii over the summer for a vacation and again last week to see his failing grandmother. Admirable though that visit was, “By Obama using a private jet to go on a purely personal visit to see his grandma, he’s wasting not only energy, but he’s using the money that his supporters have given him for campaign purposes,” Blakeman says. “It’s a purely personal visit paid for with campaign funds.”

I cannot believe the things I read here from supposedly literate people who in 2008 are still so full of hate and prejudice. It sickens my soul. It fouls the air. For some, no matter what the Senator Obama says or does, it is not good enough because those ‘some’ just cannot stomach the fact that a black man is near the end of his well fought race to the White House. Will there be an exodus of those ‘some’ back to Europe from whence they came, or Australia? I heard life in New Zealand is pretty cool. You could all run off to those places where the white South Africans ran after apartheid was disarmed.

He had an agenda of cover up and he wants to keep sure she is silent with all the pain Med’s she is on, as he has much to hide. We will all know what he is really like before too long.

It heartens me that people are still writing in to complain about the hate and ignorance rampant in these blogs. I know that intelligent conservatives are wondering what sort of Satanic group they have empowered. This is definately not a Christian crowd – most are likely skinheads, disenfranchised, lonely people – and a few mean, old great-grandmothers.
It is sad, but the hard right, fight-fight-fight, pick on every little thing hoping to find some reason to pull down Obama – they don’t seem to get it until they have a brain tumor – like Lee Atwater and Bob Novack, who is writing the most reasonable conservative assessments at the present time.

To the many folks who commented with such passionate fear, hate, and anger on Obama’s visit to her :
If or when you find yourself far away from a dying loved one, I hope that you are able to visit him/her one last time before s/he dies without strangers spewing hate on you.
