Fox News Alert on Hannity and Colmes

Barack Obama leaving campaign trail for a few days to visit sick grandmother in Hawaii. She has just been released from the hospital. Barack Obama and his grandmother have been close through the years.

I had the very same thought when I heard the announcement at the start of H&C.... Andy must be too close to something and Bambi had to have an excuse to hightail it to Hawaii and intervene.

[The Doctor]

I disagree. The timing is just too perfect. So far the Obama campaign hasn’t done anything that hasn’t been calculated and orchestrated.

Nutneg: This is about as consequential as the sun rising in the east or rain being wet. The Messiah sees a tidal wave of poop heading his way (ACORN, API, Phil Berg); all of this “chest puffing” the Dems are doing is a cover IMO. He’s trying to run out the clock, let’s pray he cannot.

Either that, or he knows about something that is gonna happen on election day.

His pleas for people to vote early, and having his Dem cronies set up special polling places, for his groupies, near his rallies in Nc have me wondering what they’re up to.

Michelle is too busy ordering up hundred dollar lobsters from room service at some fancy New York hotel.

If his Grandmother is sick, I wish her well BUT...I am a little skeptical because the Hawaiian Supreme Court was asked to issue emergency writ opening secret Obama birth files by Contrarian Commentary ^ | ANDY MARTIN see this post:

Sounds suspicious to me. I think he’s really nervous about something coming out soon that will really give him problems. That’s what I suspected earlier today (before this) when he was out pushing his supporters to vote early. He actually gave them some reasons for doing so, such as, your car may break down on election day. You might not be feeling well. The weather might be bad, etc, etc. Anyone else heard him saying these things at a campaign rally earlier today?

You know,today I heard him pushing early voting and I was thinking he want people to vote early before any dirt comes out.

I hope there are some Republican nurses on duty.

I think Fox has been afraid to touch this— it will be certain to draw accusations of partisanship. Now, if the Hawaii SC votes in favor of Andy Martin’s request, that is news. I believe a reasonable case can be made that the filing of suits isn’t news. There isn’t any smoking gun yet, other than the forensic analyses of the COLB.

[petercooper]

I’m sick of this early voting crap. It’s not as if many of his supporters are busy working and can’t get to the polls on Election day.

Prayers for Grammy if this story is true (but I suspect it’s not)

I disagree. The timing is just too perfect. So far the Obama campaign hasn’t done anything that hasn’t been calculated and orchestrated.

Powell's announcement comes yesterday and now today he's going to visit his sick typical white grandmother.

[van_erwin]

I’m sorry, but these are some of the most un-Christian comments I’ve ever read on Free Republic, and I’ve been here for over seven years.

There is a time for this kind of thing, and this is not it.

[gunnyg]

Yeah, uh-huh!

[floriduh voter]

I’m not buying the sick grandmother deal. This is fishy and happens right as his poll numbers start to trend downward. If she croaks, now that’s another can o’ worms.

[SaintDismas]

He knows Mac is hurting him in the polls, and just wants him to shut up. He doesn’t give a damn about his grandma.

[ETL]

You know, today I heard him pushing early voting and I was thinking he wanted people to vote early before any dirt comes out.

Exactly. That's what I was thinking.

[bray]

What if he’s going there to meet w/people on the Rezko investigation?? Can’t really meet in Chicago. With all the sleaze around this guy Something smells.

Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops

[RichInOC]

Mmmmm...no, I’m not going to say any of the things I’m thinking. I’m thinking them, but I’m not going to say them.

My prayers and best wishes for the lady.
