And close to death, she got released from the hospital and went home like a typical uninsured person.
OTOH, maybe 0bama arranged for home care so Grandma wouldn’t let slip anything “sensitive” to hospital personnel. He can certainly afford to set up hospital-quality care for her in her home. So she could be dying, but in a controlled environment.

If she was that seriously ill...he should be on a plane as we speak and not waiting 96 hours to leave after a bunch of rallies.

Not only that, but as I understand it he is suppose to resume his campaign rally schedule less than 48 hours later.

I hate to be cynical but could it be that BHO’s internals are showing that he’s in decline in the polls and this would shut up the other side since his grandmother is in “decline”? Just a thought. Since I have watched dems for years, nothing they would do would surprise me. The McCain campaign has to keep on doing what they are doing! I am afraid John McCain will go all wobbly on us!

Last time I heard Barama speak of Granny he was calling her a racist.

There will be a very special place in h@ll for people who treat their grandparents like that.

I agree. It is disgraceful if he did indeed treat them like that.

Apparently when Obama was in Hawaii, or is it Hawai’i, he visited his granmother for 1 hour only. One would think he would have spent at least an hour and 15 minutes with someone who raised him.

We are getting some interesting rumors that while Hillary is “campaigning” for Obama, her people have been steadily working for McCain.

Sorry, I think it’s an “emergency” trip for his ailing birth certificate fight. Grannie has little to do with it.

He’s going just to stand on the oxygen hose.

Here’s a possibility: Obama got the fix in when he took that week off & went to Hawaii. This showdown will require his attention to make sure it goes off without a hitch.

How noble. That old racist white woman kept him down all those years and he still has the grace to go see her.

Why? He dissed her in public just a few months ago, when her health wasn't much better.

If memory serves me, you and I tangled earlier this year. You want another piece of me? That what this is about?

If she is so sick, how does he know she’ll hang in there until after Thursday? Sounds suspicious to me.

I agree. This is about his birth certificate. Why aren’t Michelle and the girls going?

I don’t remember so it must not have been that good. Obviously it still bothers you. When discussing conservative matters, I may be passionate especially when talking to liberals like yourself. I am not mad one bit.

Very True. If she was “gravely ill” and “near death”, why would Hussein wait 96 hours to leave. Especially for an 86 year old. People that old will can pass so quickly. So waiting 96 hours really does not make any sense. Why did he not leave last week when she was in the hospital?

Also, McCain has all the “MO” in the campaign now (all polls and state polls are tightenting up and he is beginning to lead in some of them). To leave the campaign now for a few days would be damaging. This is especially true for someone like Hussein who is a narcissist.

Timing is everything. This is happening when a an emergency filing is made to the Hawaii Supreme Court. If he has to appear in court as a result of this trial, then we will know it had nothing to do with his sick grandmother.

BHO goes on vacation to Hawaii, 8/7/08. Between then and 8/12/08, a SSS spokesman declares that BHO registered for the Sel. Svc. with an effective date of 9/04/80. Coincidence?....and what's with this effective date BS?

BTW, he was supposed to register in early Aug. 1980...by law.

My money is on a little strong arming about to go on in Hawaii.....and yeah, I am a cynic.

” funny how its the same time Andy Martin is about to drop the bomb on his eligibility in HAWAII. “

Interesting choice of words; I was just wondering if he was going to get Ayers to blow up the record-keeping facility.
