This is an AP story so it can't be excerpted here. Basically it sounds like Obama is pulling a "Survivor" ploy here to gain sympathy. She may indeed be gravely ill but why on earth would he want something like that in the media?

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Was that a prediction or a threat by Obama?

[wally-balls]

Keep your “sympathy votes” hopes alive.

[Vaquero]

Barry? gonna drive the bus over her again?

[Thane_Banquo]

Good. Then she won’t be alive to see you lose.

[RockinRight]

Aah, the “my grandmas dying so I need a sympathy vote” ploy.

Grandma got hurt when you threw her under the bus, Barry.

[timsbella]

And where are his wife and kids when this important woman in his life is failing in health?

[Tax-chick]

I’ll bet there really are people who will decide to vote for Obama if his “typical white racist” grandmother dies before November 4. Insane.

[pfflier]

Considering the story has changed from broken hip to cancer in three days, I’m sure the BS factor is 100%.

[Harry Wurzbach]

I’m reminded of Gore exploiting his sister’s memory for political gain. And, of course, this seems to be a subtle knock at McCain’s age.

All in all, rather disgusting.

[digger48]

As in every other Election cycle the Democrats are in a frantic search for a corpse to stand on.

[skimbell]

Something's not right here. The other day she was in for a broken hip and sent home. obozo waits for four days to head out and now everything is urgent?

If she's as bad as they're saying, obozo might be there to wring an early vote out of her.

[counterpunch]

If 0bama’s grandmother is really in her final days, then why didn’t he take his wife and kids to see her?

[Prole]

I dunno.

Remeber the scene in "Gladiator" where the villain smothers the elder leader with a pillow until he suffocates and dies?

[bimboeruption]

To get your grandson elected!

I wouldn’t put it past Barry to talk granny into euthanasia so her death and funeral would take place before the election garnering the sympathy vote for him.

[timsbella]

They might find out she’s white.

[beagleone]

Don’t worry Barry, with a little luck, she’ll pull through. Now if she were a born-alive aborted baby under your watch, that’s another story.

[babydubya1981]

Good thing she held on until he finished his campaigning , press conferences, interviews, and Ellen dancing for 4 days.

That said, Get Well Grandma Toot.

[ncfool]

Barack Hussein brings his personal Doctor to examine Grandma Jack Kevorkian better know as Dr. Death say’s Granny is going to be at Peace soon

[lacrew]

Lets go out there and...win one for the Gipper!!!
