Obama's Grandmother Dies
By Shailagh Murray

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A tragic turn of events for Sen. Barack Obama: his ailing grandmother died today.

Here's a statement from Obama and his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng:

"It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer. She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure.

"Our family wants to thank all of those who sent flowers, cards, well-wishes, and prayers during this difficult time. It brought our grandmother and us great comfort. Our grandmother was a private woman, and we will respect her wish for a small private ceremony to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to any worthy organization in search of a cure for cancer."

well if this sounds harsh, think of what i had to do to get through with that garbage.people die, especially old people so it shouldnt come through as a tragedy when someone of her age died. celebrate, i mean we celebrate our birthdays every year in some way, why mourn a life completing its journey.
Plus theres bull shit all around obama and like with this administration we will never know the truth. r politicians different?

life is like that.

[zoz]

She seemed like a nice lady. I wonder if he feels bad for saying he was ashamed of her.

[Smurf-Herder]

I feel bad for Obama. I remember when my grandmother died.

But I just hope he won't try to use her death to get the sympathy vote.

Oh wait, he is right now, in a speech in Charlotte NC.

Can you imagine if McCains grandma died?

Well first of all shes like 350 years old.

McCain would tell everybody he's suspending his campaign for 2 days, but then he would campaign all the way through. Then he would cancel all his debates, and then decide not to cancel. Then he would tell tv hosts he has to cancel because of the funeral, and then he would go on tv with other tv hosts. Then after the funeral he would tell everybody that he dug the grave himself, and that there would have been no funeral without his leadership. Then he would spend the next two weeks talking about how he suspended his campaign for his family and that you should vote for him because he's a "family first" guy.

This seems so familiar, I just can't place it...

Some solemn and dignified reactions from freerepublic.com (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2123979/posts):

* They should do an ice test to see how long she’s been in the freezer.

* Better pull her absentee ‘cuz she was dead on Election Day.

* I think that “event” took place 2 weeks ago. Otherwise it would have made great political news for these last 48 hours to talk about Obama’s grandma and take the focus off of his exposed coal comments.

* Seriously, has anyone actually seen this woman in recent years? If Obama has some of his thugs guarding her (and if there is, indeed, a body) I hope they do an autopsy to make sure Granny’s passing was a natural event.

* So Barry goes and see’s granny. Granny dies day before election. She is probably one know who really knows where he was born. Well as the church lady used to say.”isn’t that special”

* have you people been having problems with computer viruses? This is unbelievable…

* This is what I think happened. He told them to pull the plug on her. Now if you bring up the bankrupting the coal industry, it will seem insensitive and cruel. I am sorry but this man is just plain evil. I know his grandmother raised him, but her success as a parent is questionable. BO’s mother was a moonbat and ol Granny was a leftist hack. That being said, I pray for her soul.

* She was swindled into raising someone else’s child. I do not believe that hussein is half white.

* My thoughts exactly pinkbell. There are probably a million people in the world that died at the same time. All these threads about it here seem a bit much. Call me what you will, but this is about as important as a dump I took a week ago.

* Is he going to tax her now that she’s dead?

* She was also a communist sympathizer along with her husband, a long and proud tradition of socialists. Oh, and good friends with Frank Marshall Davis, a signed up Communist, who they introduced little Barry to. One hell of a woman, yup.

* Murdered? It’s not murder when it’s for the chosen one. The dems will blame it on lack of universal health care and get a double bang for the buck. Obama will forgive her racism and find another family member to use and throw under the bus.

Yeah! If he can mention his own grandmother dying of cancer, why can't I piss all over it?

Total double standard, dude!

[ROdger Right]

well i would piss on his copy of a birth cirtificate or maybe wipe my ass with it because its a complete waste of paper and did damage to the enviornment with as much truth as ted stevens had when he took the stand

[Mr. Blue]

Very sad indeed, my grandfather helped raised me, and losing him was the most difficult thing I had to go through. My condolences to Obama and his family.

[Smurf-Herder]

Gee-wiz.

I guess you guys have never seen the depravity posted on the Daily Kos or Huffington Post against the Republicans, have you.

Is this message board the Daily Kos? or the Huffington Post?

But conservative corporate criminals and their supporters deserve all the vile and vitriole they receive. They are social pariahs. They are anachronisms. They are selfish, self-centered, self-absorbed assholes who only think of themselves and NEVER of the other guy.

If you are christian conservative corporate criminal double that vile and ridicule you so richly deserve.

Have you tried cutting down on the fiber, and maybe throwing in some cheese or other dairy products? I think it would really help your problem.
