  • whiterabbitobj, on 11/03/2008, -25/+1470I had been hoping this would turn into one of those "her strength of will allowed her to hold on just long enough to see her grandson win and then died the next day" stories. I'm truly sorry for Barack, no matter what anyone thinks of the man I hope they agree. I'm glad he took a couple days off to see her when he had the chance.
  • NathanCH, on 11/03/2008, -234/+1488On the eve of her Grandson becoming elected president of the United States.

    Truly tragic.
  • AutoTom, on 11/03/2008, -32/+1096I'm sure she died as the proudest grandmother in the world.
  • Coven, on 11/03/2008, -62/+832You're a pathetic excuse for a human being.
  • ftx437, on 11/03/2008, -72/+809Even though I am against him my prayers go out to his family...
  • badwithcomputer, on 11/03/2008, -17/+741rest in peace.
  • TsirhCitna, on 11/03/2008, -28/+477These comments are disturbing.

    RIP.
  • sidewinderaim9x, on 11/03/2008, -18/+430Why couldn't it have been one more day? =(
  • Insightful, on 11/03/2008, -34/+434Talk about great timing, today RNC hits Obama for visit to sick grandmother.

    You stay classy GOP.

    It is unfortunate that the two women who brought up Obama could not have been there to witness as I can this momentous occasion in American history.

    Condolences to the Obama/Dunham families. May she rest in peace.

  • rossnyc, on 11/03/2008, -39/+405Go ***** yourself.
  • stubarwick, on 11/03/2008, -33/+363RIP Madelyn Dunham... you did a spectacular job helping raise your grandson.
  • robrogan, on 11/03/2008, -7/+307Pretty sure Jan 19th would be inauguration. He just said 'elected' which will be known before then :)
  • inactive, on 11/03/2008, -7/+302Oh thank God, I had almost given up hope on humanity with some of the horrible comments being made here.
  • relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -21/+311Come on, dude...
  • kangy3213, on 11/03/2008, -59/+297My thoughts go out to him, it's definitely a hard thing to go through, especially him, because his grandmother was a huge part of his life.

    Vote Obama/Biden for 08
  • Spuy767, on 11/03/2008, -9/+229Personally, I'd rather her have not died at all.
  • anstice85, on 11/03/2008, -32/+248Excuse me, when did Barack call his grandmother a typical white person in a derogatory fashion? Or are you just foaming at the mouth and spitting out garbage as usual?
  • Hyperion1144, on 11/03/2008, -23/+224Normally, I try to give reasoned, measured, and repectful responses people on Digg.

    For you, I'll make an exception:

    ***** off and die, *****.
  • thedragon4453, on 11/03/2008, -12/+197wow, you are the worst kind of person.
  • inactive, on 11/03/2008, -10/+189You're a despicable human being.
  • Spartz, on 11/03/2008, -13/+185What a shame. I guess it will be a day of immense ups and downs for Obama.
  • Frayed_Knot, on 11/03/2008, -18/+168If McCain's grandmother was still alive, she'd be about 150 years old.
  • Zontar23, on 11/03/2008, -38/+187Very sad. He has my condolences. I expect the twits on the Right-wing blogs will be finding some reason to slam Obama over this tragedy.

  • had3l, on 11/03/2008, -13/+160You might not agree with his ideology, but what did he do for you to hate him?
  • Hangingtree, on 11/04/2008, -15/+158Yup because we dont want anyone who doesnt think the way we do to show any sort of humanity towards our candidate. Right?
  • thatsmyaibo, on 11/03/2008, -5/+144I'm a McCain supporter and I still think you're an *****. I hope she rests in peace.
  • h3llscaper, on 11/03/2008, -3/+130"Meh, His commend was just poorly written and grammatically incorrect, making it difficult to read."

    1. "Meh"
    2. "commend"

    You wanna throw around some more stones in that glass house of yours?
  • anstice85, on 11/03/2008, -6/+133They already are. Go to Free Republic and you'll see people claiming they pulled her off life support right before the election on purpose. ***** morons.
  • anstice85, on 11/03/2008, -8/+133Yes, Obama personally went into her house and pulled the plug. Makes sense. Also, I wouldn't call his chances in doubt at all - he's been leading according to EVERY single poll for weeks.
  • kangy3213, on 11/03/2008, -11/+132ass
  • dirtypenguin, on 11/03/2008, -7/+127I'd like to ride the wave of my fist to your face.
  • SSPink, on 11/03/2008, -7/+124You're a scumbag.
  • Cararan, on 11/03/2008, -10/+125RIP
  • inactive, on 11/03/2008, -27/+140"What I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that though I do not know you and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you."

  • anstice85, on 11/03/2008, -21/+133Nice spot for your political advertisement, *****.
  • kismetropolis, on 11/03/2008, -16/+121How disrespectful.

  • xenoak47, on 11/03/2008, -34/+134From heaven she will be proud of Obama tomorrow as he is elected President of the United States. Rest in Peace, and know that you have done the country a great service in raising our next president.
  • TerrinTokyo, on 11/03/2008, -56/+155oh my gosh, you are some ugly-souled, pathetic people. you have no compassion and no shame: must be right wingers.
    ..................................................
    he was so right to go home. prayers for him and his family...
  • AutoTom, on 11/03/2008, -6/+102this has nothing to do with votes, the man's grandmother died, let's all show some respect.
  • Hangingtree, on 11/04/2008, -9/+103you are correct, I suppose I misread his comment.
  • hadak, on 11/03/2008, -13/+100He's going to be so torn up with mixed feelings come Tuesday.
  • supermanly, on 11/03/2008, -13/+98Are you trying to compete with this comment bustedclown?

  • cersad, on 11/03/2008, -3/+86Obama's grandmother dies and he gets accused of pulling the "pity vote"? For reals?
  • jmk4422, on 11/03/2008, -18/+96Just is not fair.
  • atcrawford, on 11/03/2008, -4/+79The word "hate" doesn't hold as much water as it used to.
  • HappyScrappy, on 11/03/2008, -3/+76Michael Savage already said a couple days back that Obama went to Hawaii so he could smother his grandmother and thus cover up the dirty secrets surrounding his birth certificate.

    What an ass-wipe.
  • Tripw0l, on 11/03/2008, -26/+98She helped bring about the pending paradigm shift of our generation. May she find rest in a more peaceful place.
