If Obama had one ounce of class in him he would not have announced to the world two days ago that he was going to see his ailing grandmother at the end of week. Obama is a smart man. He knew the dog lapping press would slurp it up. Now on national TV he's squeezing every last drip of publicity he can get out of his grandmother's illness. He is a truly despicable man. A person with any dignity would have made no mention of going to see her and arranged to see her below the radar, perhaps telling the press he was taking day off the trail to hold a strategy meeting. Or at least not milking it for all it was worth for three or four days. I think this tells us a whole lot about Mr. Obama and I sure hope it backfires on him but good.
show me where Obama announced ANYTHING? his campaign advised the press that Obama would be leaving the stump to fly to visit his grandmother who was ill.
I know how Obama feels with his mother. My mother went to the hospital for what we assumed was retention of water following chemo. I didn't go visit her because I had the first day of school and thought I could go later in the week...she died the next day unexpectedly. I didn't even get to tell her I loved her one last time. It's a regret that has haunted me for 21 years. I now say "I love you" at the end of every conversation with family members, regardless of how many times I speak to them throughout the day.
I appreciate how honest Obama is about his personal pain and lose.
you repubs only prove how classless and disgusting you are by attacking Obama in this manner.
