Obama's Grandmother Has Died

it makes me wonder why the heck Obama didnt spend more than an hour with her and where were the wife and kids!

Obama spent an hour with her when he arrived in Hawaii at night but then returned to spend the next day with her.

Perhaps they didn't want to expose the kids to someone dying of cancer. Maybe the grandmother didn't want them to see her like that. Some people urge their kids to say goodbye to dying or dead relatives. Others don't think this is a good thing.

“this guy used his family in whatever way was convenient to get him elected. He certainly repeatedly used his white grandmother in ads.”

Well no doubt he did use his family.
But he went to see her last week and she really was dying. To many people were saying inappropriate things about his visit.
It can make our side look like wackos. Ads I have said before, we are better than their side.

The time would have been better spent if the “CoalGate” interview had been discovered instead..

Today’s saint of the day is St. Martin de Porres. He was (I’m almost certain) the very first bi-racial saint. Maybe he can help with her soul.

That hits home for me. My grandmother always adds in her daily prayers that she wants to witness particular milestones in the lives of her grandchildren - years ago, she prayed for the strength to be able to witness my marriage to my highschool sweetheart (and we engineered the day to accomodate her in every way). She is now 95 and really deteriorating in body, but still determined to hold her (third) great-grandchild, expected this spring.

I don't care how you slice it, Obama could be president-elect tomorrow evening, and it is sad that his grandmother will not be alive - by a little over a day - to witness it. I'm not so heartless as to deny that.

I am sorry to hear this news, and the Obama family has my condolences.

I express my own sorrow, and condolences at this woman's passing.

However liberal she may, or may not have been, she was private, and she performed her parental role twice...once for her own, and then for her grandchild when her own daughter was either incapable or unwilling to do so. She clearly loved her grandson and gave him all the opportunity she could.

She cannot be blamed or slighted for this. May she rest in peace and may God in Heaven rest her soul.

Now, what Obama has done with that upbringing and opportunity himself, in wandering in the drug culture, in becoming an abject marxist, and in rubbing shoulders with and hobkbobbing radical and terroristic relationships to a political career is another matter entirely.

Could you please save the political stuff for another thread? Have some respect for those that have passed on, PLEASE.

Condolences to the family.
