Obama suspends campaign to visit sick grandmother in Hawaii

[hakudoshisama]

damn bitch you look like a fucking man.

[aortaik]

that cool watch?v=R02tbrZSO3I

[ninja3502002]

yeah that is not breaking news for the campaign trail !!!! its worthless material. Obama needs to stop this type of scheme to get the seat aka presidential seat...

bad drive by media; bad drive by media; your stations shall faltered for delivering us horrible stories. Journalist has no value because you fail to dig deeper in this scene.

[GVbroker2]

Pretty convenient for him that she dies before she can be interviewed in a weak moment and divulge something inconvenient - like a truth! Were any of his Chicago friends with him while he cleaned up the apartment?

[LordKaisen]

@GVbroker2 ...

[ryansistah74]

@GVbroker2 what a sick-ass retarded shitbird you are. Get some help fucktard.

[GVbroker2]

How convenient for her to die before he was elected. The Hawaiian news reported that he spent almost every moment in her apartment; not at her bedside. Cleaning up?

[InternetOccultist]

ROFL! at 0:23 she almost said "her ticker"

[makeyyyy7890]

fuck obama grandmother, i'm glad she dead

[blt40]

what a dike.

[xxiLxkSxx]

LEARN how to spell DYKE

first fucking idiot.

[goodpoor1234]

What about Jesse Jackson Jr..is he white?Asshole!Let me give you some idea who the hell is Rahm Emanuel before you fuck yourself! "Emanuel held a seat on the quasi-governmental Freddie Mac board, which paid him $231,655 in directors fees in 2001 and $31,060 in 2000. During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandal involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities.

Continued (below)

[goodpoor1234]

USA Today reported in late January 2007 that Emanuel failed to disclose that he was an officer of a family charity, a violation of law requiring members of Congress to report non-profit leadership roles. The charity does not ask for outside donations and is funded by Emanuel and his family." SO WHAT FUCKING CHANGE YOU'RE EXPECTING FROM OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION???

[goodpoor1234]

Another four years will be wasted! He already chosen unqualified black people for his cabinet!!!Damn!!

[EuthanizeReligion]

The only person he has chosen in his cabinet Rahm Emanuel and he is not black.

What the fuck are you stupid?

[USB1050]

Rahm Emanuel is white lol

[goodpoor1234]

Hey Echdrum...you did not get what I said. you stupid asshole!

[givebirthathome]

Rachel Maddow is so smart, I wish they wouldn't waste her on dumb stories like this. And then they pad them! If they were explaining something complex, I'd like to hear it a few different ways from a few different people, but how many ways do you have to hear, "going home to visit his sick grandmother" to understand it?

Let's have real investigation on stories that need investigation, not sham questioning on stories that need no further comment.

[konyen123]

I decided to vote for Obama today, Nov 4, 2008because without his health care plan, I will die. John McCain's plan would only cover 20% of my cost as I have type 1 diabetes and require a lot of supplies and medical care. I would not recommend that any person dealing with a serious illness support John McCain's health care plan. It's the worst I've ever seen.

[historian32]

I also have Diabetes, but have a job where I can purchase medical insurance which makes supplies and medicine affordable. Why would voting for Obama save your life? Your prof says you're 28 years old, do you work?

[viewvacious]

Now that she has passed away, how do you feel, you Godless son of a bitches? That includes YOU, Rush Limbaugh. You preach from the "family values" pulpit but show that you are soulless, sociopathic assholes with no conscience whatsoever. Enjoy your lives now, all of you hypocritical right wing trash, because by your own beliefs you will ALL burn in hell.

[nshokanan]

u are goin to hell bitch.watch wat u say to people stupid.ur mom would be very sorry to u.

[junior91878]

I wonder if Obama took her to his church?

[SWAT518]

lol, his voice keeps cracking

RIP

[jaim12005]

She pasted on today and I hope the GOP supporters and the McCain camp is respectful of his great loss!

[Lumbre1969]

Get the truth about this story. He went to Hawaii to clean out his Grandmother's attic.

[ejayarts]

fuck dude.atleast have some respect for obamas granma

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

NEW FLASH: Michelle Maddow flys to Brazil to have penis protesis secured to her pelvis.

[pajamagirl123]

i think u mean rachel dumbass

[junior91878]

You are wrong. She was born with a dick, everybody knows that.

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

Oh thats right I think it was Olbermann with the strap-on, he likes to sit and spin. I hope hes alright after having those gerbels removed from his ass.

[rarbit]

Hmmm... Why are you fixated on those things? Kinda makes you suspect.

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

Comrade,

You are truly a fine citizen. The party demands our devotion and support to achieve Premier Obama's final solution. Your dedication is comendable and this communication will be duly noted in your file.

So what is the latest information on Barack's grandmother. Surely he didn't leave her if she was dying. Too bad his girls couldn't go see their grandma in the event she dies.

[Maxmasch]

So what news do we have about Barack's grandmother? Surely he didn't leave her there in her dying days. Too bad his wife and children couldn't have gone to see their grandma too.

[songoku350]

If he had any to begin with

[songoku350]

Obama is being a man and caring for his grandmother.

Mccain sees leaving his disfigured wife for a rich beauty queen as being a man i guess.

Maybe when the commies broke his back, fucked his ass and made him humble they took his manhood away also.

[trandietnguy]

songoku: They sure did take his manhood away. When I was in Hanoi earlier this year, a former jailer at the Hanoi Hilton (Hoa Lo prison) told me McCain caved in pretty early, asking for mercy and disclosed all that he knew about his naval duties and knowledge. McCain signed several papers comdemming the US, some of which the Vietnamese never before published in order to keep on using them as leverage over McCain as long as he lives.

[ProudtobeaCanuck]

I wish her the best. For those who say why not take her to the hospital? First, maybe she wants to be in her home and they do take hospital equipment ex, hospital beds to people's houses you know. Second, why she doesn't have her own home? Well its her apartment so she does have her own home. And who say she would even want his money some people like to be independent you know. I know my mother doesn't expect me to buy her a house, doesn't mean I won't but its not a requirment. So just chill.

[freechoice1011]

Well said Proudtobeatcanuck. Keep in mind too that real estate in Hawaii is very expensive and most people live in apartments or rent houses. Very few own property there. Also the apartment that his grandmother lived in is for sr. citizens. Oh and finaly in most cases people are sent home or to a hospice when then they are terminal.

[latincupidd]

Thanks for the info to bad she didn't make it to see him become President either way am sure she is happy. Congrats on electing a smart man for the job you guys made the right choice.

[ProudtobeaCanuck]

oops sorry was signed into my brother's account but thanks for the comment.

[Trueting]

she raised him from he was 10yrs, not infancy. Just so u know.

[nongthip]

I hope his Grandmother lives to see him sworn in as President.

[kenanman001]

A person don't have to go to the hospital to died. Let this man spend some tme with his grandmother before she pass. You guys are some asshole. You would want the same respect if it was your family member and this goes for the media also.

[KrisMayeaux]

If she's taken a turn for the worse, and is gravely ill, why isn't she in a HOSPITAL????

This is really puzzling; and she lives in an apartment? Wouldn't you think she would have her own home with a full-time servant, considering Obama is a millionaire?

[wiferachel]

I can see it now grandma says is that you b.o.? You filthy racist didn't i raise u better than that? How am i going to heaven? Did you bring your children to that racist church. Is that hateful wife making you do things that you don't want to do?

[aquatania]

Where is your proof? funny how when you are asked simple questions like that you don't seem to have any answers.

[aquatania]

Update goodpoor1234 will be joined on the island by DesertSage01, and TakeThatHill. Dress is formal featuring Cindy McCain's $300,000 gown last worn at the Republican national convention. Concierge service will be provided by Joe the Plumber (who needs to work an extra job in anticipation of an unlikely McCain win)

[goodpoor1234]

About "Certificate Live Birth" of Obama (O'Bomber)

• Where is the embossed seal and the registrars signature?

• Comparing it to other Hawaii birth certificates, the color shade is different.

• Isnt the date stamp bleeding through the back of the document June 2007? (Odd since it was supposedly released in June 2008.)

• Theres no crease from being folded and mailed.

• Its clearly Photoshopped and a wholesale fraud.

[aquatania]

Dear McCain supporters: Do not bother goodpoor1234 as they are making a trip down the river denial and have made a side trip to the island of outright lies & innuendo. There is a fashion show on the island featuring Sarah Palins (& families) $150,000 fall wardrobe purchased courtesy of the US tax payer.

[goodpoor1234]

To all McCain supporter, please dont bother Obama right now, he's busy in taking care of his Birth Certificate, once he got his original fake birth certificate, he will be back right away. Is that clear?

[Echdrum]

Hey 'goodpoor1234', Looks like you were correct about that trip to Hawaii- Obama's grandmother wasn't gravely ill!

(notice the date)- YOU GENIUS!!!! keep spreading your STUPIDITY amongst the world moron! :)

[goodpoor1234]

Hey Echdrum...you did not get what I said. you stupid asshole!

[Swordsquire]

Some politicians are human. I'm just waiting for McCain and Palin to really pull out the low-blows. I'm not so worried about his absence, there's Joe Biden who can take up the slack. In the meantime, my sympathies to the Obama family.

[carmarxii]

OUR PRAYERS FOR HER !

Abraham Lincoln said:

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich"

"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong"

"You can't lift the wage earner by pulling the wage payer down"

"You cannot further the brotherhood of many by inciting class hatred"

"You cannot build character and courage by taking away mens initiative and independence"

Barack Obama doesnt get it. 'Joe the plumber' and many of us do!

[Politeama]

I totally agree with you. Obama is not good for our country. There is more than enough elements, this man is not pro-America. You don't need to be bright to see through his lies, he wants the power & with a Senate & a Congress on his side he'll be unstoppable. He is endorsed by Hamass, Farrakahn, Chavez, Castro, Rev. Right. Obama will destroy our democracy and ruin the country. McCAIN will do everything to improve our economy, he has proven his loyalty to USA and we will be protected with him.

[freechoice1011]

hes not even a licensed plumber and owes the IRS. To have someone of that stature be the poster child for a political campaign seems scarey.

[aquatania]

Dear Thle009

How dare you say: "This Fraud care more about winning than what might be the last minutes by his Grandma bedside"

as you did in your earlier post. If you don't want people to think you are cruel and thoughtless maybe you should think about having some semblance of respect for a man who has the decency to care about those he loves more than this election. That is called character something you know nothing about.

[DesertSage01]

aquatania, Stop spouting Bullcrap and get your own ideas. I don't know you and you don't know me, but I can tell by how you structure a sentence that you are not a Veteran of 2 wars as you claim and who cares what race you are. This election is not about race it's about Welfare for the Many at the cost of the countries economy or Free and fair Capitalism which is what this country is founded on.

[aquatania]

TNJane & Thle009 you are examples of the worst that America has to offer. Leave it to a hillbilly mentality like yours to try and throw conspiracy theorist suspicion on the man when he is going to see a dying woman that played the most important role in his life. I am white man, and I just want you to know that I am also a US Veteran of 2 wars (if it matters to anyone)and I think the lack of honor & integrity being shown by you & many GOP constituents in this race, is sickening & Un-American

[Skepdisc]

I wonder if McBush would risk possible election for the sake of his family.

[muzziaxa1]

OBAMA '08...your CUNT is retarded

[lthom33]

Sen. Obama is doing the right thing, and most importantly he doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's often spoke lovingly towards his grandmother & wants to say good-bye to her, an opportunity he missed with his own mother. I think this shows what a family man he is & how he understand how important it is for Americans to have time off from work to visit sick loved ones without being fired! Or, the opportunity to have healthcare to pay for their loved ones hospitalization. Obama/Biden '08

[obamaobortion]

Google this: "Obama: Most Secretive Democratic Presidential Candidate Ever"

[CoreyCoolins]

that man is so great:]

[opencrimson]

Of course its correct for Obama to do this! As usual the media need something to blow up out of proportion...He is still running for president and should be voted for his perspective and sound policies. The Republican party - Bush and his cronies have mismanaged every single thing they have ever done.

[aquatania]

Dear Thle009: You are a cold, heartless, racist, and dangerous individual. To attack a man who is on his way to a dying 85 year old woman (who is white by the way) is just sick. This type of comment just proves that John McCain & Sarah Palin have appealed to lowest form of scum in our society, and hopefully the sane people will send you back to Jerry Springer come November 4th. Hey John & Sarah are these your real Americans?

[Thle009]

Dear Aquatania: Obviously you don't know my skin color, but somehow I have trouble finding which part of my observation was being racist. For ones to use racist accusation to silent their opponent, prove there is no case. Sane people would recognize when Mr. Obama continue to campaign for days and then call for a TV press on his Grandma before going to her would show his real priority. "It's all about his campaign" Google Obama's half brother George and find out how much help he got.

[olive231]

IMHO, the fact that he is putting family first right now says a lot about his character.

In regards to CO2 - they all travel, fund raise and emit - sure it's not great - but what's your point ?

[aquatania]

TNJane is an example of the worst that America has to offer. Leave it to a back woods racist hillbilly like that to try and throw suspician on the man when he is going to see a dying woman that played the most important role in his life. I am white man, and I just want you to know that I am also a US Veteran of 2 wars (if it matters to anyone)and I think the lack of honor & integrity being shown by John McCain, TNJane and the rest of his his constituents in this race, is sickening & Un-American.

[Thle009]

I know this is a sensitive subject, but who do you think Obama is? Did he want to resurrect the dead, is that why he is rushing after days of learning his grandma condition? Only the stupid would take this as caring. He cares more for his race to the white house than the last minutes or not by her bedside. That's his real concern. If he doesn't care for the campaign then why continue to fund raising, fly around the country and generate CO2. Every already he's gonna win right? Fact check Jack.

[lvlyldy19]

You're the STUPID one!

I just couldn't resist stooping to your level.

Why the hell would he suspend his campaign? He still wants to win but family trumps all. He is NOT like McCain who left his crippled wife and their 3 kids for the 'cunt who piles on the makeup like a trollop' ( his words not mine) because she had connections and money that would help his political career.

Obama is going to be with his Grandmother who is on her death bed asshole. Have a little empathy goddammit!

[Thle009]

I hope that Mr. Obama make it to his Grandma. He wouldn't want to make the same mistake he did on his own mother (his own word.) But wouldn't it make sense to drop everything and goes to her. Unless winning was more important. Why combine him to McCain if he is that much more class? My trouble is this guy continue to preach to us Americans just don't do the same. Just like when he said that we don't learn others language when travel yet he couldn't speak a word in his father's native, etc..

[olive231]

When I rushed to my grandma's bedside when she was dying, it was not to resurrect the dead. It was to be able to be with her in her last moments. I think he is caring, and I don't appreciate you calling that stupid. Your comment makes no sense - by taking a break to go to Hawaii he is harming his campaign, not helping it. That does not mean he does not CARE for it. Of course he does - he wouldn't be winning if he didn't.

[jhuandylau]

This is nonsense. Maybe you haven't had a close relative die but death is final. Maybe you wouldn't have done the same, but I think most would agree that spending more time with someone you love and care about before they pass on trumps the usual trivialities that occupy our lives.

[Thle009]

Thanks for confirming my point. This Fraud care more about winning than what might be the last minutes by his Grandma bedside. He waited for days after the news of her illness to call for a press release on why it is important to show that you care for your love one. Google his half brother who is dirt poor back home and see how much help he gotten from Mr. Obama who live in a $1.6 mil mansion all this time and preaching to Americans on how they need to give to stranger when He didn't to his own

[MountOlivet]

Obama suspending his campaign to visit his ill grandmother shows where his values are. I have alot of respect for Obama being able to put his campaign aside to go visit his grandmother since it is so close to election day.

[bbbbmer]

God be with you Mr. Obama - I know what it is to be with a severely ailing loved one... twice... and I am so in awe of your ability to deal with this amid giving so much to our nation... We will pray for you, and hope for comfort for your family...

[DesertSage01]

bbbbmer, I will agree that none of us should wish ill on anyone, and as a christian my prayers would also be with the sick and dying that they be in God's hands, but what does that have to do with your next comment of thanking Obama for all he has done for this nation? "What has he done for us?" Name one thing that is not a Democratic talking point but a real example of his service?

[bbbbmer]

He has been HIMSELF - which is more than McCain has been... McCain AND Palin have been studies in arrogance, hypocrisy, and the ridiculousness of the Republican party -- which, at every step, has been trumped, and GLORIOUSLY and with GREAT aplomb, by Obama and his team... I don't care if he hasn't McCain's lengthy history of doing the friggin' wrong thing -- Obama is AUTHENTIC, and God knows we need that NOW!!!

[DesertSage01]

bbbbmer, You didn't answer the question! You said we needed to thank Obama for all he has done for this nation. I sympally asked what has he done? Name one thing? Instead you attack me, McCain and Palin. Why can a Democrat never just answer the question at hand. Instead they always go to name calling and fear mongering diatribe? I weep for the children.

[bbbbmer]

I take it you are one of those 'low informed' voters -- now just go back to the hole from which you emerged and ooze your bile toward someone else -- I'm not interested, honey...

[DesertSage01]

bbbbmer, Sorry wrong again, in fact I am very informed as I study politics, History and Political Science as a profession and I am not the one that cannot answer the questions asked of me with thought out intelligent answeres of my own instead of what the t.v. or newspapers try to indoctrinate into me. Try it sometime, study for yourself instead of being a sheep.

[maurydez]

He did a lot for the poor people. He was the attorney behind who threatened to sue the banks if they didn't lower the stands to qualify for a home. Now every idiot can qualify for a home. What a man!! I wonder where his half-brother is since he is so concerned about family..

Thank you Obama. I guess America likes your penis, that is why America is going to fkd by you for another 4 years..

[freechoice1011]

Im not a democrat nor a republican so im not able to address your allegation about dems not answring questions. I wld like to say that from what i can see dancing aroung answers to questiones is a political requirement not a party requirement. There is enough dancing on either side when people dont want to answer a question. Nonetheless i believe that Obama has given people hope. He has given hope to people regardless of race color or creed. His rallys are inspiring and powerful. Obama/Biden 08

[TNJane]

Hey Rachel, What do you think about the trial he is having there this week about Hawaii releasing his OFFICIAL birth certificate? If he needed to get to his Grandmother, why is he waiting all week?

[megagrey]

Please, if the bucket of ass that is the flak bout Obama's birth certificate had ANY substance, the McSame/Failin camp would already be all over it. They were desperate enough to stoop to drudging up Ayers and probably Wright, there's no doubt they'd go here too if they thought it would fly at all.

Bottom line, Obama's not the one born outside the U.S., John McCain is.

[easymike]

Hey TNJane!How about presenting a little evidence as in supportable facts?

BTW the birth certificate ruse has been debunked so many times that only the terminally dim repeat it.

[x11115]

that has yet to be proven.

[souljaEXVOTO]

... says tennessee... LOL!!! go to a town with libraries and a couple of black people will ya?

[lobojo]

OMG Tennesee Jane! your shady birth certificate wish is almost as weak as Sarah Palin's intellect. HAH! I can't wait til the stupid people are finally outnumbered by the cool heads and real Americans for reading books, for curiosity and innovation that helped this country spur the industrial revolution and the medical breakthroughs, and the space exploration etc. that made us great. As opposed to the incurious dipshits like Bush and the douchetards who voted for him TWICE! god read a little!~

[PompCircumstance]

Hmmm Tennessee, Oklahoma, butt f*ck Arkansas... ... i can't imagine how the smart country became the short bus country. why do these people at these rallies call people who read, and absorb information and lessons from history... elite?

OK at this most critical juncture give me now the top distinguished Harvard Constitutional Law Professor. Give us creamiest of the elite crop cuz we're gonna need it when the next great depression and WWIII hits from neocon policy over 8 long miserable years.

[Francebrasil]

TNJane,

Idiotic comments of this nature are sinking the McCain ticket.. Keep on writing....

[Thle009]

TNJane: It's a lost cause, I tried to make the same case when the guy spent days campaigning after learning of his Grandma's condition and then goes to a TV press to tell us that if we can't care for our family how would we care for the world. Yet people should google his brother, George who live in a mud house back home while he's in his mansion demanding Americans to make sacrifices and to give more to strangers. That call integrity alright :)

[trandietnguy]

Thle009: Sen. Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, is the woman who helped to raise him and with whom he's had a close relationship since his childhood. George Obama is one of his several half siblings that the Senator only met in 2006. You cannot compare the two. Btw, people should also want to Google the name of Kathleen Portalski, Cindy McCain's half-sister whom Mrs. McCain has chosen to totally ignore even her existence (Cindy McCain falsely claims she's an only child).

[trandietnguy]

Thle009 (continued): While Cindy McCain has millions, Kathleen Portalski, the half sister that she totally ignores, lived a modest life and her son Nicholas is an unemployed firefighter. I'd say Mrs. McCain is in a better position to help her half-sister and nephew than Sen. Obama and his half siblings. At least Sen. Obama recognizes the existence of his half siblings.

[Thle009]

I certainly don't know Mrs. McCain fall out with her sister. Meaning, why not only Mrs. McCain but her father who had the money would not spare her sister a dime. It's ordinary family problem. I built my case on the fact that this person who is waving his finger on every one, all preachy telling we got to care and give, and intended to use the state power to take away some people money to give to others yet won't give himself. Unless it's tax payer money to fund his interest.

[Thle009]

Cont. Check out Tony Rezko and other famous community project awarded with tax payer money and fought for by Obama that got condemmed. And follow the money trail that funneled into Mr. Obama's campaign from those project managers. Looks how close we are to the election yet he continued to collect "middle class" money and spent like to a drunken sailor. If he so sure that this is what America wanted, then take off to his Grandma when he heard the news. But as an Elitist he tell us whats best.

[ngarey]

hmm can't wait to see the wingnuts spin this...

[Rosannasfriend]

look above, someone already spun it. :)

[Landrew120880]

Obama is a classy individual.
