Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, dies

A week after her 86th birthday, on the eve of the election, Mrs Madelyn Dunham passes away from cancer. There was no mention of cancer - just a broken hip. He went home because she was gravely ill and couldn't stay just ONE MORE DAY to celebrate her 86th birthday, which he knew would be her last. Add that with his aunt. it seems he really doesn't care about anything but his coronation. I don't know how a man, who says he loves his grandmother and owes everything to her, couldn't spend her last moments with her or at least her last birthday. He wasn't at his mother's bedside when she died either. And then later apologized in his new preface that he wished he would have written more about her. And yet she read and edited it while she was dying.

How hard is this man? He just doesn't give a goddam about anyone but himself. First Amendment. Go deeper and wonder if she couldn't bear to see barry the fraud be elected? No one will ever know. Tim Russert maybe. He didn't mention her in his first stump. He knew 8am and didn't comment on it until 5pm.

From CNN:

"I'm not going to talk about it long because it's hard to talk about."

It's the eve of his coronation. Why waste a precious moment of adoration before he actually has to do something. I bet he follows through on nothing he has said. He has no history of it.

Obama remembered her as "one of those quiet heroes we have across America, who aren't famous ... but each and every day they work hard. They look after their families. They look after their children and their grandchildren."

His and his sister's statement. I wonder who wrote it? When are the funeral arrangements?

In a statement released Monday afternoon, Obama and his sister said that Dunham 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."

Maybe she is getting a sense of long-deserved recognition toward the end of her life."

Why didn't he make sure she got it sooner? That sentence says who barry is. He owes nobody nothing. Not even the woman who changed his diapers when his father abandoned him. And what was the first thing people knew about her? She was a typical white person racist who said things that made him cringe. And then he went on to compare her to Wright. Saying all this knowing she had terminal cancer. How evil is that? I can't judge him. I am done with this. God Bless You, Mrs Dunham. I hope you didn't suffer much.

MCCAIN: "We offer our deepest condolences to Barack Obama and his family as they grieve the loss of their beloved grandmother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them as they remember and celebrate the life of someone who had such a profound impact in their lives."
