If he were going to Des Moines, and it was announced on Sunday, wouldn’t he pick a LOCATION, rather than leaving it up in the air like this? It takes more than a couple of hours to secure a site, and set up. It doesn’t appear that he ever really intended on making this trip. The Des Moines announcement and article look like they are cover.

If his grandma is truly sick, prayers for her.

“Obama is scheduled to headline a late-afternoon public rally in the Des Moines area, campaign aides said Saturday, although the exact time and location were not yet confirmed.” More at site.

Obama is a sheister. 'Hey Michelle (reggie-love-spends-more-time-with-barack Obama), I'm going to see my dying Grandmother. No you don't need to come, Reggie will be there and please don't answer any questions about Mike Signator. And the girls need to focus on school. I wasn't at my mother's death bed, and my family doesn't need to be at my Grandmother's deathbed, even though I have access to a Lear jet which will get me to HI in less than 9 hours.

Nonstop Chicago to Honolulu: if you left at 7 am from Chicago O Hare, would get you in Honolulu at noon. It appears to be only a five hour flight, but then you have to take in the time zones! There's a 4 hour difference between Chicago and Hawaii, so it'll be noon in Honolulu, but feel like 4 in Chicago.

All in all, it's less than a 9 hour flight, non stop. P.S. - if Obama's campaign is worried that most aren't buying his lame excuse, the family will join him in order to make the trip more believable.
