The same grandmother he visited on his vacation with campaign staff and NO KIDS or Michelle.

There was a photo posted on another thread tonight that appeared to show Obama with his older daughter, holding a fruit basket while waiting for a hospital elevator.

"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."

Maobama has used his "typical white person" grandmother as a stage prop more than the styrofoam columns. Your grandmothers and mine are/were not stage props. He is one of the most contrived candidates I've seen in my life, on a par with the clintons. You should see his ads running in the D.C./Northern Virginia area, you'd thing he was a white person with dark skin from watching those. I share Len....Alphabet's cynicism on this guys as I think do many others. Not trying to bitc# slap you friend, just trying to point out what some of us believe are essential truths about the creepy maobama.

Maybe he’s going to give his grandmother one last upbraiding for being too prejudiced.

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?

I am sure he could care less. His grandmother means more to him than some election.

Of course he cares. Why else didn't he visit her when she was in the hospital? Why did he only see her for 45 minutes in all of 20 months? Why is he waiting until Thursday? Why is his wife going to be bashing McCain and Palin in OH, instead of going with him to be at his side and possibly see her Grandmother in law for the last time? Wait, she didn't see her in August, so why bother now.

See, he realllly doesn't hate whitey that much. He even visited his sick and dying white grandmother. Awwwwww.....

Next up he promises fluffy kittens and cuddly puppies to all the children who nag their parents to vote for him.

If you haven't noticed, people are not exactly sympathetic to Obama over this...the grandmother yes.

This is the grandmother that he called a "typical white person", distance himself from for political purposes and it is rumored that he and his wife have kept her from seeing her grandchildren all these years....now that is disgusting.

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

How do you know she is “gravely ill”? All we have on that is from the Obama campaign. And you believe anything the Obama campaign says?

By the way, television reports say that she is close to death.

And we all know how truthful the TV reports have been during the campaigns. (And if she does die, RIP. Biden's MIL died too recently. God works in mysterious ways.)

He was in Hawaii this year. I am sure he visited her then. How do we know one way or the other?

“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.”

That was my first thought, as well. If she is so “close to death,” why doesn’t he rush there now? It’s like he’s saying: “Hold on, Grams, I’ll come by later this week afte I hustle some more votes.”

It doesn’t quite pass the smell test.

“His grandmother means more to him than some election.”

He has hever shown any such sentiment. If Grams meant more to him than the election he’d be in Hawaii right now, not waiting until the end of the week, after hustling votes amd attending rallies, to finally go.

All we know is that he didn’t care that she might be attacked by a thug demanding money because the thug happened to be black and that he called her names and treated her terrible. She was the provider for the family and he had no respect for her. There will be a very special place in h@ll for people who treat their grandparents like that.
