Republicans dishonor Barack Obama's dying grandmother

If it wasn't so pitiful, it would be funny. On the day before the election, the California Republican Party has filed a complaint against Barack Obama and his campaign:

Obama for America violated federal law by converting its campaign funds to Senator Obama's personal use. Senator Obama recently traveled to Hawaii to visit his sick grandmother...Therefore, the Obama Campaign violated the FEC's ban on "personal use" of campaign funds when it paid over $100,000 for the Campaign's charter to fly to Hawaii without obtaining reimbursement from Senator Obama.

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."

@hint0122 They all lie to us. ALL

[hint0122]

[MrJohnnyrace]

@hint0122 Like most polititions do.

[hint0122]

last time i checked, the democrats had control of congress for the last 2 years of bushs term, meaning they had the power to stop anything they wanted. Go ahead and throw around terms like racist. It just means you have no real argument.

[hint0122]

jeez, maybe you try to be civil/

[hint0122]

they won by blinding people with hype.

@hint0122 Since Obama took office, he has had to deal with the major fuck ups the republicans left behind. People like you have never given him a chance because you are racists, plain and simple. The slander has been constant. What people like you don't, and will never, understand is that you truly look like parasites the US could do without. Obama has conducted himself in a dignified, hard working manner. Republicans are the disease. You are obsolete, ugly, and an embarassment to humanity.
