Pay up sunshine. By the way learn to spell. I know exactly where to spend that $1.98, that you earn as a burger flipper.
Your story about Obama's trip to Hawaii to visit his Grandmother is inaccurate in one detail. You say '...the woman who raised him after his mother died...' Barack was a grown man when his mother died. His grandmother and grandfather helped raise him throughout childhood, as the story says later.
In his first book, Obama talks about this time: When he was a child the family decided Barack should live with his white grandparents and go to school in Hawaii so he would grow up American. His Mother was married to her second husband, sister Maya's father, and living in Indonesia at the time.
Ok, Suspiscious (sic),
I'll take the bet. But you'll have to tell me what's the scam. That he has a grandmother that raised him. That she lives in Hawaii,. That she's sick. Or that he's actually visiting her. Or that he cares at all for her, and he's only traveling to see her for some kind of sympathy vote? My guess is that's its so easy to determine if she is truly ill, that it would be a huge risk to try and 'scam' voters by faking the purpose of the visit.
Please donate the weeks salary to a local charity, preferably a hospice.

This is no time for cynical or insensitive remarks. The man's grandmother is failing. He is good man, and my heart goes out to him.
People never cease to amaze me. His grandmother may die soon. He wants to see her before that happens! All of us that care for our own families can understand that, how does this play into politics? Pathetic! If you had any sole you would offer prayers instead of criticisms.
Why is everyone so stupid? Everyone knows that Obama (soetoro) went to Hawaii to find a birth certificate that doesn't exist, he was called into court there (Hawaii) and they are trying to hide it. He is being questioned as to the validity of his citizenship. He is not a natural-born American citizen, so he cannot run for President of the United States. Just google Berg vs. Obama. There are hundreds of cases being filed against him for this reason. The october surprise is that he will be taken off the ticket and McCain will get it by default. Game over. Then the race wars start and soon after, we will be attacked by some country who thinks we are weak...get your guns, ammo, food and water and look into setting up some kind of shelter for nuclear, biological and/or chemical defenses. Good luck!
'People never cease to amaze me. His grandmother may die soon'
She has been sick for ages, now Obama is milking it for sympathy.

The case for McCain is straightforward. The financial crisis has made us forget, or just blindly deny, how dangerous the world out there is. We have a generations-long struggle with Islamic jihadism. An apocalyptic soon-to-be-nuclear Iran. A nuclear-armed Pakistan in danger of fragmentation. A rising Russia pushing the limits of revanchism. Plus the sure-to-come Falklands-like surprise popping out of nowhere.
Who do you want answering that phone at 3 a.m.? A man who’s been cramming on these issues for the past year, who’s never had to make an executive decision affecting so much as a city, let alone the world? A foreign policy novice instinctively inclined to the flabbiest, most vaporous multilateralism (e.g., the Berlin Wall came down because of “a world that stands as one”), and who refers to the most deliberate act of war since Pearl Harbor as “the tragedy of 9/11,” a term more appropriate for a bus accident?
Or do you want a man who is the most prepared, most knowledgeable, most serious foreign policy thinker in the United States Senate? A man who not only has the best instincts but has the honor and the courage to, yes, put country first, as when he carried the lonely fight for the surge that turned Iraq from catastrophic defeat into achievable strategic victory?
There’s just no comparison. Obama’s own running mate warned this week that Obama’s youth and inexperience will invite a crisis — indeed a crisis “generated” precisely to test him. Can you be serious about national security and vote on Nov. 4 to invite that test? -Charles Krauthammer
'My guess is that's its so easy to determine if she is truly ill, that it would be a huge risk to try and 'scam' voters by faking the purpose of the visit.'
Why be shy about scamming the voters now? His entire campaign has been a scam. What else can you call a freshman senator who has surrounded himself with radicals all his life running for president after 143 days in the senate and being propped up by George Soros and foreign money?
It has been one scam after another.
the Republicans are spreading their hateful remarks, just the thing that fits with McCain/Palin. They are getting desperate and don't know what else to do but fling the crap! It says a lot for the followers of these candidates.
I hope she recovers (as I wish no one ill will). I also hope that if Obama is elected no one in his family gets sick during an international crisis. While Barak may believe the American electorate understands his absence, I doubt Putin or Ahmadinejad would. When McCain suspended his campaign it was for the country, not his own self interest.
I think this story has caught the rabid right off guard. It doesn't fit with the persona they have spent so much propaganda on creating for Obama.
Let's see terrorists and radicals would not love their grandma's right? They are such despicable people that they are inhuman. That is the spin that Rush and other such are trying to make of Obama. That he is despicable.
SO, they must discredit this story as just a tactic or else voters may learn the real truth. Obama is a guy who loves his family and has values that very closely reflect that of most of us.
Suspicious(sp)
I hope someone who raised you is gravely ill somewhere and someone questions you motive for doing something kind for them.
I cannot see how visiting a relative is, somehow, nefarious in any way.
Ok, before Obama made his campaign announcement to visit his grandmother, how many readers here actually have heard Obama mention about his grandmother (not the typical-white-person spill but) being gravely ill and about to pass away? When was there ever a time before he took off that he has shown concern about his grandmother being in the hospital? How many here even knew she was in the hospital before this? I am suspicious myself. This is a guy who has a half brother living in pure poverty on pennies a day and not a word of concern from him, Barack Obama.

Sorry, but this coincides with key dates in a lawsuit there. He as much as acknowledged the charges by failing to appear. Since he has never submitted an actual birth certificate & there is strong evidence he was actually born in Kenya & never went through the stages of becoming a citizen (not eligible to be POTUS in either case), there is credible reason to suspect another agenda; that she is among the last around to know the truth. With her out of the way, the Court loses a key witness. Since links are not allowed here, look up keywords at obamacrimes,Philip J. Berg,pajamasmedia, israelnationalnews, contrariancommentary.wordpress, Plaintiff ANDY MARTIN, youtube; watch?v=gA6_k3NtXZs among MANY other well documented locations. Follow the money trail... factchecker is a creature of Annenberg, conflict of interest with Ayers/Obama & not reliable. Who will watch the 'watchers'?
'.....Barack Obama's refusal to release and make public the following:
* A certified, authenticated birth certificate
* College transcripts from Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard
* Senior thesis written at Columbia
* Writings from Harvard
* Full medical records
Obama Born In Kenya? His Grandmother Says Yes.
'Someone is lying. According to Obama's Kenyan (paternal)
grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Barack
Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as the Democratic
candidate for president claims. His grandmother bragged that her
grandson is about to be President of the United States and is so proud
because she was present DURING HIS BIRTH IN KENYA, in the delivery
room. -This, according to several news sites and Pennsylvania
attorney Philip J. Berg (see video) who is, surprisingly, a life
long democrat himself. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of
Pennsylvania, and he has an impressive background in his activities as
a democrat, but his support for the party seemingly stops when it
comes to his trust in Barack Hussein Obama. '
It is unfortunate how many people absolutely refuse to believe anything positive about Obama. This man could fix the economy, provide every American citizen with healthcare and end the war in Iraq and people would still question his motives. He has answered the questions about his past several times and yet the questions remain. Are you waiting for a different answer? What does the man have to do? Better yet, admit that there is nothing he can do to gain your trust because you will never see him as anything more than a skin color...
Questions about Obama's citizenship? You guys are so pathetic.
Obama's mother was a US citizen. Guess what? That makes Obama a US citizen automatically, regardless of where he was born.
Is this his racist grandmother he talked about earlier in his campaign when the Rev. Wright videos were found?
I live in Hawaii. In fact I live less than 20 minutes from where his grandmother lives. And yes, he did land here to visit his ailing grandmother, yes our local satanic liberal elitist media was there with cameras, yes she is ill and yes this man loves his grandmother. If John McCains mother was ill and he had to go and see her before a turn for the worst (god forbid no one with half a heart wants this for ANYONE), us on the left side wouldn't be sitting here blasting out GARBAGE like this because we respect both candidates DUTY to focus on family in dire times. Heck, we even hope that they have that in the mettle of their character because we all value our ties with family and it's sphere of influence in who we become as adults.
In Hawaii, family (also known as ohana) is truly sacred in it's own very unique way. We are all family here, and that's the mentality we have despite all glaring differences of race, sex, education and political affiliation. This was also a part of this man's upbringing while in Hawaii. It never leaves you because it's such a strong positive aspect of living here even after you move somewhere else. I know this, I've moved all over the country and it stuck with me and others who transplanted as well.
Back off and take your tin foil hats off. Show some respect for an elderly person who is ill... one day it will be you too. You guys are getting uglier in your attitudes by the minute.
