WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's grandmother died of cancer, he said in a statement on Monday, a little more than a week after he interrupted the White House campaign to say goodbye to her in Hawaii.

Sorry, but I can’t forgive Obama for calling this woman a “typical white person”. He has no grace, no generosity. Just a deep seated loathing of his mom’s dna.

The consummate politician, isn’t he?

RIP.

I still don't know why Obama didn't take his wife and daughters to see her one last time two weeks ago.

Actually I can understand the children I very much doubt at that age if my parents would have allowed me to visit a sick elderly relative.

My maternal grandmother lived with us when I was 10 and during her last few weeks I was not really allowed to go to her room in fact I can hardly remember seeing her after she was bed ridden.

I was not allowed to go to her funeral or my paternal grandfather’s the following year, my parents considered I was too young and not have been able to handle it.

I was 7 when my greatgrandmother died in 1973 and not only did I not see her in her final illness, I didn’t attend the funeral. My parents sent me to school as usual.

I just got home and I didn’t see any other posts about this other than this one.

Well, technically, he only spent an hour in Hawaii with her.

He spent 4 days beforehand TELLING the world that he was going to HI to be with her, 3 days in Hawaii TALKING about being with her, and 3 more days AFTER the trip telling the world that he had suspended his campaign to be with his dying grandmother in Hawaii......
