"He will have a role as one of my advisers," Obama said on NBC's "Today" a day after earning the endorsement of Powell, who is also a retired four-star general and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.A Bush Administration official as an advisor to 0bama?
Is this development more likely to hurt him because it takes him away from campaigning, or more likely to help him because of a sympathy vote?
Um, not very compassionate of you. It’s one thing to bash Obama, but when his relative is gravely ill, that’s another matter. This site is better than that.
Ever had a parent or grandparent seriously ill ? Do you really think you’d be thinking about how their illness would be good for your career ? This is one area - illness of an opposing candidate’s relative, that should be offlimits.
Couple of paragraphs from an Andy Martin email I received this AM:
Before my team left for Hawai’i I predicted we would bring down Obama. By sheer coincidence, one TV network was interested in my mission and has been tagging along with a camera crew.
Monday (today) we petitioned the Hawai’i Supreme Court to order Obama’s secret birth records released.
How did Obama respond? He suddenly discovered that his grandmother, who had supposedly been released from her hospital a week ago, when he showed no interest in her, needed his immediate attention. Cool, calm, collected Obama suddenly suspended his campaign and headed for Hawai’i.
High Noon.
EMERGENCY PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The question of the authenticity and public availability of the birth certificate of Senator Barack Obama (hereinafter “Obama”) has become a source of increasing embarrassment for Hawai’i Government.
Although Obama has purportedly posted a copy of his birth certificate on his own web site, and others claim to have posted other versions, Obama refuses to allow public access to the official records of the State of Hawaii.
Petitioner is an author and columnist who came to Hawai’i to do research on Obama’s years in Hawai’i. After arriving in Honolulu, Petitioner decided he needed a copy of the original birth certificate, as well as any official files relating to the issuance of said certificate.
The Executive Branch Department of Health has repeatedly and egregiously mischaracterized the Hawai’i statute governing access to birth certificates, and did so again on October 17th in a statement to the Honolulu Advertiser.
Petitioner applies to this Court for an appropriate writ, and offers two separate avenues of potential relief for the Court to consider.
I thought his small town values mother, who was raised in Kansas and as a single mother on food stamps often struggled to make ends meet, was the one who raised him.
No-one and i mean no one leaves a presidential race with 2 wks to go, i dont care how sick she is, theres more to this, funny how its the same time Andy Martin is about to drop the bomb on his eligibility in HAWAII.
Everything happens for a reason. At this late date don't be naive. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2110955/posts
His mother lived in Indonesia while he was raised by his grandparents in Hawaii at the age of ten.
By the way, television reports say that she is close to death.
The lack of compassion here on this matter is very, very, sad. Again, this is one issue that should be off-limits.
Television reports say she’s close to death. So you’re saying the grandmother is plotting her death just to help his career ? That is insane.
Exactly what I was thinking. Gosh, I hate being so cynical.
I think people like Obama would use anyone to advance their vision of reigning over the impoverished masses. Everyone is a tool to socialist, elitist, narcissistic, and probably genocidal, sociopaths like him.
Gov. Lingle and Gov. Palin are very close and talk with each other often.
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF HAWAI’I SUPREME COURT DOCKET NUMBER: 29414 ANDY MARTIN, Petitioner, HON. LINDA LINGLE, in her official capacity as Governor; DR. CHIYOME FUKINO, in her official capacity as Director of the Department of Health, HON. BERT AYABE, in his official capacity as Circuit Judge, Respondents.

He’s pointing out Obama’s faults, not his grandmother’s. Fair game.
Well he isn’t in any big rush to get there. He throws this news out on a Monday night about a late Thursday trip?
Garbage story.
If she was that seriously ill...he should be on a plane as we speak and not waiting 96 hours to leave after a bunch of rallies.
Obama cannot be allowed to win. One of weaknesses of the campaign against him so far has been that too many things have been “off limits”. Obama is the worst candidate for the Presidency this country has ever seen. He needs to be hit very hard, continually, on every front.
Reports are that she is very close to death, yet he can’t get there to see her until later in the week. As I understand it, he has only seen her once in the last 20 months, and you want to talk to me about my lack of compassion?
