Obama's grandmother died Monday Nov. 3rd 08' One day before the election

Re: Obama's grandmother just died.

Damn. That sucks. I know they were hoping she'd make it through election day. Too bad she couldn't stick around long enough to see her grandson elected president. That's unfortunate.

Nothing on News server for a link, but CNN with Wolf Blitzer is talking about it.

I'm glad he took the time to go see her recently I'm sure he will always remember that time with her.And yeah too bad she didn't live a couple more days to see him elected.

RALEIGH, NC -- Barack Obama said Monday that his grandmother has died.
Obama released the following statement with half-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."

She deals with the racist bullshit that her daughter got hooking up with a black guy in kansas, and then dies beofre she can say " fuck you racist bastards, my daughter's son is now president".
 
I really hate to hear that. Given everything holds up and he does win tomorrow, it will be a very very bittersweet day for him. RIP

Agreed. Even if he wins big (and I am sure he will) he's not gonna be as happy about it as he could be. RIP to a very courageous woman.
 
I can hear the RNC already with the TV off.

Can you really trust a guy who's grandmother just died to lead the country in a time of crisis? :rolleyes:
