I think this is really why 0 is going to Hawaii:

Chicago crusader Andy Martin is on the verge of taking down the Obama campaign(HONOLULU, HI)(October 20, 2008) You have to turn to Hollywood and "High Noon" to find more drama than the confrontation building in Hawai'i. The good sheriff stands alone against the Obama Gang. Eliot Ness and the Untouchables? The Long Ranger? Pick your own hero. Martin vs. Obama explodes into a Hollywood classic.

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?
Hawaii Five-O-bama.
Book em Dano
Didn’t his grandmother say that she was present at his birth in Kenya? I hope that nothing happens to her...
I hope she’s ok and prayers for her, but, if she’s in fact ‘gravely ill’, why didn’t he leave yesterday or the day before?? In addition to what others have said, perhaps a sympathy ploy, and, I’ve also been thinking that he needs some time to practice for his 1/2hr 0bama noinfommercial next week.
