A TV station in Hawaii is reporting that Barack Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Dunham may be suffering a recurrence of cancer, in addition to her broken hip:
HONOLULU — Sen. Barack Obama’s grandmother, Honolulu resident Madelyn Dunham, has had a recurrence of cancer besides suffering from a broken hip, a source said. […]
Obama will be in Honolulu alone, and for less than 24 hours.
He is expected to spend all of that time with his grandmother and sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, who has been caring for Dunham.
Dunham also suffers from osteoporosis and has had a corneal transplant.
I’m sure all our thoughts and well wishes are with the Obama family right now.
Update [2008-10-22 10:32:31 by Steven D]: Scumbag Wingnut takes credit for Obama going to see his ill grandmother. There should be a special place reserved in hell for this man.
I hope she gets to see her grandson elected as President. If the universe has a heart, she will.
It doesn’t sound promising. I hope that she can peacefully hang on until the election.
Hang on Grandma. A sweet day is coming.
Look at this face-the resemblance
I followed your link to the scumbag and read a page of innuendo and not a single fact. He now promises to release part 1 of a 3 part “investigation” on Oct. 27th.
Presumably the real meat is being reserved for parts 2 and 3 after the election? – I think not. There is no real meat – just the innuendo.
Some people can’t even be bothered making the slightest of charades to hide their racism.
So this scumbag makes a big deal about Obama’s kids not visiting their great-grandmother? Does he know how far it is from Chicago to Hawaii? How much airplane tickets cost? I saw my great-grandmother rarely when I was a kid. We lived on the North side of Chicago. She lived on the South side of Chicago. I suppose this asshole would cite that as evidence of a dysfunctional family.
This winger is just wacko.
But when he went to visit his grandmother a few months ago, he went alone. Has anyone ever heard of a family where the great-granddaughters do not visit their great-grandmother?
I’m not quite sure where the guy gets the idea that the kids have been sheltered from their grandmother and they never see her.
From the article that Steven linked.
Facts, the have such a liberal bias.
Andy Martin and Larry Johnson must be soulmates.
….are of my Dad. Because Mom’s camera shy, doesn’t like how she looks in most pictures.
Quoting Obama’s grandma, “I didn’t think it was a decent picture they would want to use, be apparently they used it any way.” from this news blurb about a campaign ad that features Mrs. Dunham. (minute 1:15)
