- Snake732, on 12/05/2008, -1/+47This is just tragic timing - a day before one of the biggest elections in our history. She never got to see him elected President...
RIP and thank you for such a wonderful inspiration you have given this country. - zerohelix, on 11/03/2008, -1/+38This is for you grandma!
- ha3er0, on 06/16/2009, -1/+27Very sad - she couldn't see him elected president.
- JavanSClark, on 11/03/2008, -2/+27Just one more day... well, I'm sure Heaven will give her the best seat in the house when her baby boy makes good!
- julian02392, on 11/03/2008, -1/+23R.I.P.
I was hoping this wouldn't happen :(.
My deepest sympathy to Sen. Obama and his family. - pinacoleyada, on 11/03/2008, -1/+20thank you for raising this wonderful future president. RIP
- gonegoogling, on 11/03/2008, -1/+18I was hoping she would see tomorrow night. Tragic.
- Xihix, on 11/03/2008, -1/+18It's a shame she wasn't able to see him achieve something as big as getting into the highest office in the nation. RIP.
- psilly, on 11/03/2008, -1/+15Our thoughts and prayers are with the Obama family.
So very sad. - damntourists, on 11/03/2008, -1/+15very sad... obama will be strong through this and take the election in honor of her.
- inactive, on 11/03/2008, -1/+13This makes me want to cry. Instead, I'll just vote early.
- bondjpf, on 11/03/2008, -1/+10Peace...
- TheSkunkMonkey, on 11/03/2008, -2/+11Cue the loonies claiming "Died last week, held till election eve" in 3.. 2.. 1..
Yes, some ***** are going to stoop that low. - xerodustrial, on 11/03/2008, -1/+10On the day before the election. Wow.
- sockpuppets, on 11/03/2008, -1/+10Profoundly sad, whjat a mix of emotions he must be having right now.
From a purely analytical perspective- not that Obama needs nor wants the sympathy vote but he will see some positive effect at the polls from this. It will also work against McCain for attacking someone who's bereaved. - biggy83, on 11/03/2008, -1/+10God! How can Obama face all of this and yet be so powerful in everything he do and say?
This is real inspiration in good times and bad times.
I live in Dubai and I support Obama; we all here do support him.
RIP Grandma. - Eagle193, on 11/03/2008, -1/+9I guess it was wise of him to suspend his campaign for a little while. requiescat in pace
- ivbaseball06, on 11/03/2008, -2/+10Make Madelyn proud....Vote for her wonderful grandson today or tomorrow!
- skydharma, on 11/03/2008, -1/+9It is a shame the family has to deal with this, particularly when whatever happens tomorrow, happens.
- BinaryDelt, on 11/03/2008, -1/+9Thank you, Madelyn, for helping to raise such a fine young man in Barack Obama. If he is to be your legacy, you should be quite proud. The inspiration of Barack is a testament to your teachings. May you rest in peace.
- mavarin, on 11/03/2008, -1/+8At least he got to see her recently. And she had to know that he is on the cusp of winning. But I agree, it's very sad that she could not hang on another day.
- Lucas123, on 11/03/2008, -1/+8That's sad, but she must have been flying high knowing her grandson was about to become president, and a potentially great one at that.
- Tripw0l, on 11/03/2008, -0/+7She helped bring about the pending paradigm shift of our generation. May she find rest in a more peaceful place.
- voyetra8, on 11/03/2008, -0/+7We did it grandma! We did it.
- largelion, on 11/03/2008, -1/+8It's sad that she didn't live long enough to get to see her grandson became the next president
- rawheadrex, on 11/03/2008, -0/+7Wow. The day before the election. May she rest in peace, knowing that she's leaving the USA in the hands of a VERY able man she helped raise. So sad.
And I hope the souls of all the ***** who doubted Obama's Hawaii visit rot in their own smelly hell.
http://mediamatters.org/items/200810230020 - spookyttws, on 11/03/2008, -0/+7She died the proudest grandmother ever.
- themouth, on 11/03/2008, -0/+6I think this will make tomorrow a very bittersweet day for Senator Obama. Whether you're voting for him or not you have to wish him condolences on the death of the woman who helped to raise him.
- DBreeze, on 11/03/2008, -2/+8i wonder how fox, drudge, and the gop will give a negative spin to this tragic event
- cheesegypsy, on 11/03/2008, -0/+6Wow, that is such a shame. That makes me incredibly sad that she will be unable to see her grandson become president tomorrow. A bittersweet celebration it will be.
- DeadFox1, on 11/03/2008, -0/+6She already knew Barry will be our next pres. Godspeed!
- Vincredible, on 11/03/2008, -1/+6I actually got a little teary when I saw this. How cruel that she couldn't live just one more day to see her grandson make history. I hope there's an afterlife, and that she's there to witness tomorrow's historic event and feel the pride that she deserves. Rest in peace.
- PaulCurrier, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Prayers for Maya, Barack and their family - from all over the World! Thank you Mom!!!
- LouiseCalabro, on 11/03/2008, -1/+6May she witness her grandson's historic election from above!
R.I.P. Madelyn Dunham and deepest sympathy to Barack Obama and his family. America loves them dearly. - whuddadumbsn, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5No matter what your political views, we can all keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.
- d2002, on 11/03/2008, -1/+6A video tribute to her from ABC news:

Thanks for giving us a wonderful candidate. - angrykeyboarder, on 11/03/2008, -1/+6This is so sad. And the timing was almost as bad as if it were tomorrow. But of course we don't have control over these things.
My heart goes out to the Obama and Dunham families.
You have my deepest sympathies. - xekko, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5She never got to see her grandson become president-elect.
So sad. - erichw1504, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5R.I.P. Madelyn Dunham 1922 - 2008
- deontee, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Tomorrow's for you, Grandma Toot. You inspired me as well.
- Totz83, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Our thoughts are with you Mr. President
- dn11, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Rush Limbaugh (10/23/08):
"By the way, I'd like to be a little bit more inquisitive than the average reporter out there and observe that we've been hearing and reading for at least three days now that Obama's grandmother is deathly ill and that he's going to rush to her side in Hawaii....you take three days to get over there, if he's left yet, and this birth certificate business, I'm just wondering if something's up. I have no clue, and folks, I'm telling you, this has not reached the threshold until now, and it's popping up all over the place. There are a lot of people now that are starting to speculate and be curious about this....These are just natural questions. I think any inquisitive reporter -- I know the risk I'm running here by raising all this. But I wouldn't be me if I didn't do that"
You're right Rush, you wouldn't be you if you weren't a complete a-hole douchebag.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_102308 ... - BlaqReaper, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5My sympathies for Obama and his family.
On a side note: I thought it was retarded that some of the Republicans were saying that Obama's grandmother wasn't sick and that he went just to change his birth certificate. Now they are saying he pulled plug on her because she knew he wasn't born in America? It's amazingly stupid how much anger/hatred these guys have. - Teeninchee, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4When you walk through times of sorrow,
And alone you face tomorrow
God is there.
When your joy is with tears enshrouded
And the sky above is just clouded
God is there.
Your strength and help He will remain
Through all the loss and all the pain
In the sunshine and yes, the rain
God IS there.
Beloved Senator and family, we who have grown to love you grieve with you. Our family continues to pray for youMay you continue to rely on the Him to see you through. . - voyetra8, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4The Freepers were claiming last week that he used the "trip to visit his ill grandmother" as a cover for an attempt to rectify his "false birth certificate" in Hawaii.
Disgusting. - letshare, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4So sorry to hear this sad news. Seems like she held on for the final stretch of his campaign. Peace to the entire Obama family.
- Katy7540, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4Thank you Toot for helping to shape this wonderful man's life. Rest in peace and in God's good graces.
- BlackQueen40, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4It breaks my heart she didn't live to see the outcome of the election. It's going to be a bittersweet time for Obama and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with him. And, if anyone is interested, just go over to Free Republic.com and see what those vile people are saying about her death. Those people are sick.
- KTeegarden, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4And the RNC just yesterday had the audacity to question his use of the campaign jet for his trip to Hawaii. This is so sad and should encourage us all even more to help get the vote out tomorrow.
- istorm, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4Your Grandma is so proud of you. She'll be watching over you tomorrow evening to celebrate with you...
May she rest in peace knowing all the good things you do and the hope you bring. -
