Latest spin from Vander Wuss --  "The n*gger had the old lady whacked for the sympathy vote."

Sorry all...but given the cowardly tripe he is spewing elsewhere...you know he'd go there.

I can honestly say I am saddened by this.  She won't have a chance to see her grandson become President.  I mean, sure, I believe in an afterlife and what have you, but... just sad is all.

That's a shame.  It's a good thing he took the two days to go out and see her.

sad. 

does this mean she is going to miss out on the sacrificing of the bull in celebration of Obama's victory, or was she from Obama's mother side of the family?

Anyway, this is terrible news. Sad

that was the Kenya side. This grandmother was from the Kansas side. And so what if she did plan on sacrificing a bull? I sure don't care what somebody in another state - let alone on another continent - is doing with their livestock.

It is sad. It would have been extraordinary and almost certainly unprecedented for a President to take office with a living grandparent, although it will happen some day.

I am very sorry to hear of Obama's loss Sad She seemed like a kind but gutsy woman and she did herself proud in helping to raise him.
