For God’s sake, people! Show some class!

I don’t care what you think of HIM, but that is beyond LOW to attach political meaning to his grandmother’s death!

How DARE you!

(And you can check the day I joined FR. I’ve been here a while. After this, I’m not sure I WANT to be associated with some of you!)

“Wow, only 11 posts before someone implied she was murdered”

It was a crass commit but I don’t think murder was suggested, I took it as removal of life support, a common occurrence.

May God rest her soul. Sympathy to her family.

Partisan politics aside, that was tough, not knowing if her grandson had made it to the top job in the country.

It would be ridiculous if anyone were to cast a sympathy vote for Obama because of this. My theory is that for every sympathy vote, there will be another voter who compensates by NOT casting a sympathy vote. (Actually, it would have made more sense for someone to vote for BO to give the old lady one last thrill. Too late now.)

What is interesting here, is will Obama be immediately flying back to be with the family and make arrangements?

I’m sorry to hear of this. I don’t like to see older people pass away even if it is a part of life.

It’s also very sad that her last glimpse of her grandson may have been of him flipping off John McCain, like he did Hillary Clinton earlier this year.

Very sad news. I’m sorry she couldn’t live long enough to see his presidential race through to the end. Rest in peace, Mrs. Dunham. Prayers for Obama and his family.

It’s hard to believe they actually timed her death for the night before the election.

How would they do that?

RIP with prayers and condolences to the Obama family. I lost my 101 year old grandmother within the last two weeks and we’ve all had a hard time dealing with it.

“It is thought that they have never met Grandma. Which is very strange”

Very sad also, I was 13 when my grandmother passed and I treasure my last memories of her. Seems like this family has some strange customs though.
