Sad.

Oh dear. At least he's at a moment now where he can take at least SOME time for himself in the next day to grieve, even if he'll have to put it on hold shortly thereafter. I do not envy what he's going to have to go through.

Too sad. I was watching a biography of Obama just yesterday, and it was cool to see how close he is to his grandparents- after the initial shock of his parent's marriage (both his mother and father's sides were upset at their union) they came to fall in love with their grandson so very, very much. They practically raised Obama, and they should be very proud of the man he has become.

What sad news for his family.

Countdown to some wacko suggesting a conspiracy to ensure a few last minute sympathy votes for Obama starts.....now.

Alex · 11-03-2008, 02:55 PM

And the countdown ends here.

(Actually, I have no idea how the serious the suggestion in that thread is -- 24th post or so -- I'm not going to explore the site to find out.)

Can you say Barack Fairplay Obama?

Obama's grandmother got to vote for her grandson before she died. That makes me happy.

Quote:

Dunham — whom Obama called "Toot," after the Hawaiian word tutu, or grandparent — turned 86 on Oct. 26. Her birthday occurred just after Obama abruptly changed his campaign plans to make a 22-hour trip to visit Dunham in Honolulu.
Before his visit, Dunham had already voted for her grandson in early absentee voting.
