I am not so sure they were that close. But it makes me wonder why the heck Obama didnt spend more than an hour with her and where were the wife and kids!

That's what I am wondering.

Really none of our business.
Family relations are not always what people looking from the outside think they should be.

I dislike Obama’s socialist policies, not the amount of time that he or his family spent with a dying relative.

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.

He visited her for more than just one hour.
