She is probably suffering from “thrown-under-da-bus-itis.”

I really really really want his grandmother to be o.k.

That way I won’t feel guilty celebrating his defeat on Nov 4.

Typical white person ping!

*gasp* Obama's grandmother is *BONG!*

What did he say?
He said Obama's grandmother is flying a kite.
No, I said Obama's grandmother is *BONG!*!

(I bet both Brooks and Wilder are supporting Obama. *sigh*)

I had heard that his grandmother was “gravely ill”. If so, why is he waiting 3 days before going to see her?

[N. Theknow]

0bama's grandmo^ther and 0bama's Certificate of Live Bir^th.

If 0bama was trying to play Little League baseball he wouldn't make it to the first game.

Osteoporosis????? Thst is NOT a deadly disease. Means you ahve very frail bones... I wonder if she broke something, that can be rough... I am two stages behind that, Osteopenia. Shattered an elbow because of it.... but this in and of itself is NOT a deadly disease, certainly would NOT be emergent, life threatening, or something you would die of. Either its some other medical condition or Barry has other reasons for going to Hawaii.

Was that video supposed to be of today’s visit?

Watching it was like watching a campaign video.

[doug from upland]

Did they show her holding his fake birth certificate?

All the video told me was Grandmother has osteoporosis.Yet the reporter and friend are talking about her in the past tense.

I will add my prayers for Grandma.

High Noon in Hawaii: Barack Obama and Andy Martin collide in the Aloha State
Chicago crusader Andy Martin stands on the verge of “taking down” the Obama campaign. Martin says Obama is using his grandmother as a pretext, and that Obama really fears the secret truths about him that are about to be disclosed.

(What’s up with that? Obama IS in Hawaii afterall)

[Democrat for Bush]

Not to be cynical as I wish the woman well, but I get a strong feeling that Obama is dragging his grandma out from under the bus to use her as a prop for his campaign. Please follow my thinking. Obama announces on Tuesday that he is suspending his campaign to attend to his sick grandma but continues campaign appearances Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. He then flies to Hawaii on Friday to see his sick grandma but is scheduled back on the campaign trail on Saturday. Some suspension of his campaign, don't you think?

Simultaneously with the announcement of the sick grandma, here in Florida and who knows where else, new Obama TV commercials start running on Tuesday featuring the Dunham family with old pictures of his grandma patriotically working in an aircraft factory. Could Obama’s running to grandma's side, not immediately mind you, but after three days of campaigning and running grandma's photo on TV, be a less than one day side trip to help his campaign?

How much TV coverage of this trip do you think will be done by the main stream media? Wall to wall coverage would be my guess. Am I being too cynical or am I spot on in my analysis? What do you think? Is the Hawaii trip, three days after the announcement, a photo op in support of the new commercials or out of genuine concern for the poor woman with tire tracks all over her body?

Why aren’t Michelle and the children going along to visit the “gravely ill” grandmother???

[janereinheimer]

But then, October 21 is the 30-day time period for which Berg’s petition to disqualify Obama rolls. Maybe he went to Honolulu to hide out and Michelle will bring the kids over later in the week and they can hide out together over in the island paradise of Kanai.

So, if today is the deadline for Berg’s petition and the judge rules against Obama, it might take a couple of days for the paperwork to catch up. So two days from now, Obama might be an unqualified candidate.

Then what? Would the dems be stuck with Biden and move Hillary into the #2 spot? Or does Hillary claim the #1 spot because she was the #2 vote-getter?

Good grief! The dems can make a mess out of the simplest things.

As you well know breaking a hip at that age usually does not have a good prognosis medium or long term.

I wish the lady well and will say a prayer for her.

[Uncle Hal]

This cannot be a coincidence that Obama is going to see his sick (white) grandmother 10 days before the election. Look for a photo of him embracing her. She may be ill but the timing is very suspicious.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Prayers for Madelyn Dunham. May she recover and live many more productive years.

I still wonder about the timing of Barry's arrival in Hawaii. Why didn't he curtail his politicking the moment he heard she'd broken her hip? Why politic for a couple more days and then go see her on the weekend?

Somethings up. I contend he's going to admit he's not a US Citizen and pull out of the race, giving McCain the landslide. He didn't answer Berg's lawsuit and did admit he got it. No word that he asked for an extension. So he has no rebuttal and is in effect admitting to not being a Natural Born Citizen.

But I wonder how his narcissistic personality can handle the new set of circumstances. Something's up. We'll have to wait to find out what it is.
