I break with the thread, and respectfully approve of the guy doing something human, taking time for his ailing grandmother. My deepest repects to him for considering her need for his consolation at this time. Having grand children of a mixed race, I know it isn’t easy for either of us, and I hope the two of them can have some quiet time, as he will need to embrace the pain that is shortly to befall him.
What we don't find admirable is his not going to see his dying Mother. In fact I find it incomprehensible. So now he says he will correct that mistake. Well, the reports say his Grandma is gravely ill and Barack is dancing on TV.
Explain that to me.
My problem with Obama on this issue is that he has waited days to go and be with his ailing grandmother. Thats not right!
I’m wondering why his white grandmother’s daughter-in-law, Michele, isn’t visiting with him? and what about her two admittedly adorable great grandchildren? If her health is grave, as reports say, why aren’t they at Obama’s side visiting too?
