R.I.P. - Barack's Grandma Has Passed
Our heart goes out to Barack Obama and his family.
Madelyn Dunham, Barack Obama's beloved maternal grandmother has died.
She was 86-years old.
Barack and his sister released the following statement about the passing of their Toot:
"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."
The Kansan helped raise Barack from the age of 10 while his mother was working in Indonesia.
We're so glad that the Presidential hopeful took some time off the campaign trail recently to spend time with her.
We're so sad that she died just a day short of Election Day.
R.I.P. Madelyn Dunham.
Ricky Gervais Coming Back to U.K. TV!!!!
heartbreaking she didn't get to see her grandson make American history.
Win or Lose, i wish she could have been there for Him
Poor guy; I can only imagine the range of profound emotions he must be struggling with now; anticipation and jitters over the election compounded with the grief and sorrow of her death(she who raised him like a mother). I do not support him politically, but as a human being I feel sad for him during this time just the same.Talk about bad timing too…poor guy.
R.I.P.
Re: danadiva1 – Or more likely, she will taunt him from the depths of Hell. Muslim Hell. No virgins and it's really, really hot. You know… Hell. When Obamamama loses let's all go around saying his granny must have intervened from Muslim Hell…
Re: Billy Mays Here For Oxy Clean – who the hell cares??
Re: MatsMoe – Do you care??
Re: Billy Mays Here For Oxy Clean – Actually she died of ovarian cancer.
Re: charmoll – Obama has rleased his birth records, he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, which I'm not sure if you know, is part of the United States, making him a US Citizen. McCain on the other hand was born in Panama, which is not part of the United States. They are both US Citizens, but if there is anyone who's not born in the US, it's McCain.
Re: obamanot – For someone who supports McCain/Palin, why do you have a gay pride flag? Palin is VERY VERY anti-gay rights. She belongs to a church that believes they can convert homosexuals to become straight.
At least she died proud of her grandson….R.I.P. she will be smiling from Heaven tomorrow that's for sure!!
i doubt he even cares. he doesnt care that his aunt is being deported or that he has relatives living in tents in africa..sorry i have little sympathy. he is the anti-christ!!!
Re: StoneM – Yes…from Muslim Hell…because there is a separate Hell for everyone and apparently although she's not Muslim, and Obama's not Muslim that's where you claim she'll be…right.
Re: Anon123 – See, you are misinformed. Palin is against GAY MARRIAGE. However, she is for domestic partner rights. Besides, not all gays are democrats. Plus, there are a lot of gays who are against gay marriage, also. One of McCain's right hand men is a homosexual.
:( thats so sad
Hope he is okay
Obama 08
Poor Obama, I wish him the best tommorow- He deserves it!
as thought, a bunch of heartless shitfucks posting cruel untrue things for whatever reason. GROW THE FUCK UP. this is a tragic event whether you are voting Obama or not.
Oh, that's so sad! She won't get to see him thrown out office when they prove the fraud was born in Kenya.
Re: lonerlovesme – the homosexuals should care. most of them are obviously being misled by thinking that just because obama is a lily livered liberal that he supports them and their right to marry.
.
sorry, that's a big fat negative.
Re: t-dak – Can someone Explain him being the "Anti-Christ"??
i heard that before from a lot of people
Oh wow!! She was soo close… She's no longer in pain anymore and Barack has a true Angel looking after him now.
God bless her & God bless you Barry!!
Love Angelle
Re: poopstain – You're a real ass, you know that? Even if you don't support someone, you still show respect to the deceased.
Rest in Peace.
awww rip grandma
O poor Barack! Didnt he lose his mom to cancer as well? obama has few living relatives that were actually part of his childhood. This is how I know he'll make a good president…he went thru tough times but still made it to Harvard law. What an everyday hero!
Re: poopstain – what an incredibly asshole-ish thing to say. i hope your entire family gets hit by a bus on the way to the polls tomorrow, you hate-mongering ass fuck.
isn't she just a "typical white woman"? he probably doesn't care too much
Re: fanaticalkira –
You're not being rude; you're just being an asswipe
Re: poopstain –
your screen name is correct - you are a poop stain!
Only one stinkin' day before…son of a bitch!
R.I.P.
My prayers go out to his family
On the next note…
What the hell is some of you guys's problems
If you it was your effin grandma who just died
you wouldn't want people trying to make it seem like
you didn't care about them when you do
That just shows your character because if you can
sit up here and write that awful comment
you have no life and should rot in hell (maybe thats a little harsh but you get the point)
whether you are a MC Cain lover or an Obama lover it
shouldnt matter because someones life is gone
If you have any part of your heart that is warm you would at least acknowledge the loss
May she rest in peace…
Re: The Warden –
You're a fucking prick.
That's so sad. He even said that he didn't think she was gonna make it til tomorrow.
I'm glad he took the time off of the campaign to spend time with her. He's got his priorities straight.
awhh R.i.p she didnt get to see the results of the election
Re: Cherry Bomb –
You are a waste of space as a human being. That was rude and uncalled for.
That's very sad. I was hoping she'd be able to make it through Election Day to see how Senator Obama's story played out.
Re: lonerlovesme –
Does he?

He hasn't proven it so far…..

You saved me typing time….Thanks

He should visit his brother in Kenya before he goes. Spread some wealth around. His illegal aunt needs a ticket back home too.
Why was his mother in Indonesia? They have working girls in the states.
NO she WILL see him win even still, I'm so soooooooo sure of it you can ALL mock me, and I WON"T even care if he looses that's how sure i am that this man's got what it takes, but pep's please watch over him, i'm not seeing good things happening to him in the future, call me a crazy but i don't hieghtened security!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's NOT black or white, it's NOT a man or a woman, it's called change, and being a good person, this makes NO diff if anything it will MAKE his glory much much sweeter when he WINS tom!!!!!!
stay strong.
Re: SaraMendo – Someone puting their feelings on McCain is no different than you stating that you think Obama will win.
she's probably been dead for 5 days and they're using it now to pull on the heartstrings of the idiots who haven't picked a candidate yet and will make an emotional choice, instead of an educated one.
Very sad news, now they'll have another reason to mourn…
It's so heart breaking. Too bad she didn't live long enough to see her grandson elected president.
OHIO FOR OBAMA!!
Re: hollyholly8 – Nobody's said anything yet.
AWWEEE!!! poor obama. im soo sorry 4 u obama my prayers and wishes go out to u n ur fam for ur lose.
xx
xox-hawwwt.pink.bby.xox
that's so unfair… She didn't get to see him win
Aww, that's awful timing. R.I.P.
Re: Cherry Bomb – yeah, right, like you read anything but Foxnews.com. The Obama family are in my thoughts, and I hope he makes her very proud tomorrow…
Bitter-Sweet… more sweet than bitter though… she will be overseeing the entire WORLD celebrate Barack's victory… now that's what I call a "front row seat"! You did a MAGNIFICENT job, dear Madelyn!
I think he poisoned her!
Some of you fuckers are going to rot in hell… no respect what so ever of the dead, a woman you don't know that did nothing to any of you. Despite my politics I would give my condolensces to any political figure / ANYONE in general that has lost a loved one. WHen it comes to death, if you can't say something nice then move on, this woman does not deserve some of the hate left on here in regards to herself or her grandson. Save the spite and bitterness for an Obama post or something… what the fuck has happened to this country?!
What a bitter-sweet time for Obama…fortunately he still has one strong woman by his side, and that's Michelle!
Rest In Peace Madelyn Dunham.
I'm so sorry for the Obama family
for their loss.
Grandma's spirit will carry her beloved grandson to victory. Thank you Madelyn for all your sacrifices. Bless your life and love, look what you has produced—the 44th President of USA, Barack Obama! Please protect him from nutjob right-wing fundamentalists.
um… im sorry for his loss. but…what what his mom doing working in indonesia while he was growing up… is it because he really wasn't born in the US?!
Re: Ardenne – Nice….loser
RIP Grandma.
And on a more positive note…one less vote for Barack HUSSEIN Obama!
Are there any less OLD pics from Obama with the grandmother? I have an IDEA he didn't visit her for YEARS before the recent visit.
Rest in Peace, Toot!!! I'm sure she will be blessing her grandson from heaven!!!
Re: devil_dawg_wife – I am an OBAMA supporter and if Mccain grandmother died I would give my condolences and end it there. Death has nothing to do with politics I would be kind as possible and not say " i hope you lose" LIKE ALL YOU MCCAIN SUPPORTERS ARE DOING NOW, that is DISGUSTING!
rest in peace granny Madelyn Dunham
Re: Billy Mays Here For Oxy Clean – OBAMA said he doesnt support Gay Marrige but he does support CIVIL Unions. that way the GAY community can have equal rights to wills, medical decisions, visitations, ect ect.
Re: poopstain – please show some respect…..because those comments were unnecessary….
Re: StoneM – ignorance…..
Watching him this morning… Obama doesn't really seem saddened about the passing of his grandmother! I guess his rule out-weighs the importance of family. If his family doesn't matter to him, do you really think you do??? Although she is just a "typical white woman", may she rest in peace! GOD BLESS AMERICA - NOT GOD DAMN AMERICA! MCCAIN/PALIN 2008
So very sad…but Go Obama win for all of us…we need you!!!!
I wonder if Obama despises her race too…I will say that she is definately in a better place!
She couldn't bear to live anymore if Obama was elected. She should have just gone to Africa w/ Akon.
Re: CarolineL – Sooooooo tactless! Wrong time,wrong place for your thoughtless comment.
Much love & RIP Ms Dunham
Re: The Warden – You are sad ……… so sad……….
Re: poopstain – Your'e so right ……. you ARE confused!
Re: valpal88 – Much,much love & respect to you.
Re: pagehall – Re: t-dak – Re: topper – Educate yourselves you collection of idiots. Start by reading Etherreal's post
What a bunch of saddos ,you are truly hateful. I pity you and anyone unfortunate to have you in their life.
Very Sad, but wasn't that perfect timing? Did he have the choice to pull the plug or something?
Haters for once act with a little bit of dignity and respect just remember we are all human, (although the stuff some of y'all write - I sometimes wonder), we all have family and we all mourn their passing.
Love and condolences to the Obama family.

Re: STFU BITCH! – I've just been bigging you up on another post and then I saw this!! Cancel my previous compliment …..
Bye BIGOT………..
Aww that is soo sad..

My prayers are with him and his family
OBAMA 08
Re: suck my teat – See there you go again whats up with you ? Why why why are you dissing SaraMondo? Why would that irritate you more than the BIGOTS ? I dont get you please explain????
Awww, so sad Even though she isn't with us on Election Day, she must've been very proud to see her grandson go so far in this presidential race! RIP! Best of luck, Obama!!!
