So when does Obama start bringing the woman who raised him on the campaign trail?

[Thrill]

His Grandmother. I think he has been saving it for the GE? I think its the knock out blow that really wins this for Obama

[Barack_America]

1. She's not in great health.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see much of her. Especially on the campaign trail.

[blonndee]

2. He has said that she is unable to travel.

She must not be in good health. :(

[Bicoastal]

3. I'm not in favor of shoving the elderly and infirm in front of the cameras and pundits.

My own Grandmother couldn't do it, and I'm much younger than he is.

[vaberella]

4. Yeah, it's pretty common knowledge she can't travel. Very poor health unfortunately.

No doubt however that she's extremely proud of her grandson.

5. Yeah, she's not supposed to travel...

...she's in Hawaii, and she won't be coming on the campagin trail.

6. Please take 30 seconds to educate yourself before asking something like this.

C'mon, now. :eyes:

[Mrs. Overall]

7. Your post strikes me as less than sincere....

[Thrill]

13. No. I'm sincere. I think it would possibly help with the senior white women

Show people who are a big part of his life.

[LittleBlue]

8. His grandmother must be over 80

She is in no condition to campaign.

[JoFerret]

9. I know she is dead

but I wish he paid more attention to his mother than the father who left. She strikes me as quite remarkable.

18. You have no idea what you're saying anymore, do you?

Obama honors his mother every time he gives his stump speech. When are you going to drop the hate? Isn't it tiring?

[JoFerret]

20. My observations about Obama

are not hate.

So I do not intend to drop them.

[blogslut]

21. You see what you want to see

And you hear what you want to hear.

[JoFerret]

24. I read

what he has written too. I do not know him but I do know what he has chosen to share with the world.

[EFerrari]

10. She doesn't travel. n/t

[genna]

11. Should we trot out a sick elderly woman for political gain? I would not.

The older man Grandma got, the more frail she became. I wouldn't do that to her God bless her memory AND I don't expect Obama to pull her out either.

If YOUR UNDERLYING POINT FOR THE GRANDMOTHER is a way for him to get to his white roots, maybe there are relatives who are not sick who can step forward.

[JerseygirlCT]

12. Apparently she's not well enough to travel from HI

But I wouldn't mind seeing some more of those commercials with his daughters and the one about his mom.

[Scooter24]

14. She is too fragile to travel but it would be awesome to have a pre-recorded message

taped to show at the convention. :)

[Connie_Corleone]

15. His grandmother is ill.

[The River]

16. Insensitive Ass

his Mom is deceased and his
Grandmother is to ill to travel.

Welcome to my ignore list...at least until
you get tombstoned after the 11th.

[Thrill]

17. Oh shut the hell up

Insensitive? Give me a break

[blondeatlast]

19. She's too ill to travel, asshole. I'll be happy to dance on YOUR granite,

however.

[ContinentalOp]

22. She's too much of a loose canon.

It's always "whitey this" and "whitey that" when she speaks in public.

[grassfed]

23. funny

[TheDonkey]

25. I believe she is probably in very bad health

whether mentally, physically or both it is unfortunate.
