“not very compassionate of you. It’s one thing to bash Obama, but when his relative is gravely ill, that’s another matter.”

His (”typical white person”) grandma means nothing to him. He abandoned her long ago for political purposes. Even if she is ill, if he’s going to see her it’s only for appearances. This from another thread:

“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.

Obama did not pay any attention to his grandmother until I showed up in Honolulu. Suddenly she is the center of his attention. She is so central to his campaign that he has suspended it! But when Obama was here last summer he only visited his grandmother for an hour. One hour! Now he suspends his campaign for her?”

Sorry you bought in to Obama’s scam.

She is close to death? Then why was he not on a plane last night? Is he trying to be like Jesus and Lazarus? When he gets there will his grandmother miraculasy recover?

I heard on tv Obama’s coming to Indianapolis after his granny visit. He’s in Fla today getting early voting illegal aliens to the polls.

Obama made more cell calls and emails to Rail Odinga in Kenya than what he’s done for his grandmother. An hour and a fruitbasket? He’s stingey too. Liberals want everyone else to sacrifice for the greater good but don’t touch their piece of the pie.

“”Along with his mother and his grandfather, she raised him in Hawaii from the time he was born until the moment he left for college.”

Say what? What about all those years he spent with his step father in Indonesia?

This story just keeps changing doesn’t it?

Will the real Barak Obama please stand up!

SO he didn’t think that doing his job and dealing with the financial crisis was important enough to “suspend his campaign”, and chastised McCain for doing so, but he DOES think that visiting his sick Grandmother is a good reason to “suspend his campaign”.

I agree with you, but we are dealing with the dhims that have an absolute lust for absolute power over those that will never submit to their demands.

Extremity in the defense of liberty is no vice.

“”You have to work really hard to violate Gov. Palin’s standards on negative campaigning,” Obama said.”

Pretty harsh slam to make while crying about cheap shots. Good grief.

“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.”

Ever hear Joe Biden trying to gather sympathy for his poor dead wife, who he claimed was “killed by a drunk driver>” Total BS. Saying she negligently pulled out in front of a truck wouldn’t have been quite as much of a tear jerker. These are socialists, my friend and they will use ANTHING. The ends justify the means.

What if your wife/husband and child were killed. No matter the circumstances it would not be ok with you for someone else to talk this way about them and to be this disrespectful of a life changing and tragic loss to your family. Please temper your hate.
