Obama didn't take Michelle to Hawaii with him to see his dying-or-gravely-ill-or-maybe-not-so-much grandmother? Kell soopreez. Michelle doesn't like white people, and I'm sure she'd prefer not to remember that her husband is half white.

Michelle might also attract more media attention to the visit, and I think the real purpose of Obama's visit is to try to "obtain" a birth certificate.

So let’s get this straight: we are going to see more than $4 trillion in new spending, have a big tax increase, and defund our military — while certain to face international challenges where “it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” And this is what Democrats are saying?

If the McCain camp were not so busy at the dirty laundry festival, they might make use of all this in one last punchy ad.
