It says she is back at home, not at a hospice. How do you know she was released to hospice care?

You can have hospice care at your home. Most people want to go at their home and not in a hospital. I don't want to judge what is going on, but it could be that she's about to die.

Hillary obviously couldn’t win now. It’s too late and the Obamabots won’t leave the side of the messiah. However Hillary is an astute politician and could be looking 4 years down the road.

Anyone can file any lawsuit in any court, and we should not assume anything just because the court cannot instantly throw out the crapola because the plaintiff lacks standing or because the suit is otherwise defective.

There’s no hurry.

It took Jesus four days to get to Lazarus.

Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama is canceling nearly all his campaign events Thursday and Friday to fly to Hawaii to visit his suddenly ill 85-year-old grandmother, his spokesman said. Robert Gibbs told reporters Monday that Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, who helped raise him, was released from the hospital late last week. But he said her health had deteriorated "to the point where her situation is very serious."

So how do you come to that conclusion? Do you think it is just a coincidence that Martin has been there investigating and now releasing his findings? We seem to have moved to a situation where her situation is very serious to on her death bed under hospices care, yet Obama plans to be back by Saturday.

It seemed likely that she was close to death, as Gibbs said that “everyone understands the decision that Sen. Obama is making.”

Good Lord. Gibbs better hope she does not die Tuesday or Wednesday. How will Gibbs explain that delay?

Just so happens to coincide with Andy Martin’s little exploratory trip, eh?

Sometimes a sick grandmother is just a sick grandmother.

Just sayin’.

Granted.

However, when you are as plastic and transparent as Nobama is, everything is subject to speculation. It is unfortunate, but this IS "The One" we are talking about and NOTHING is off limits when it comes to his grab at power. Not even an ailing grandmother.

From this AP article.........

Citing the family's desire for privacy, Gibbs would not discuss the nature of Dunham's illness. It seemed likely that she was close to death, as Gibbs said that "everyone understands the decision that Sen. Obama is making."

I know that I used to work with a guy whose grandmother was sick and died several times, because he wanted a day off.

Excellent photoshop!

That was such a beautifully done movie, incidentally, including the acting by the tragic manchurian candidate (whose name escapes me) Angela Lansbury, and Frank Sinatra.
