Obama's grandmother dies of cancer in Hawaii

And you'd be right.

For that intemperate, and unacceptable remark, I apologise. I have just been reminded by an anonymous friend of the example I am supposed to set..and that was unworthy of me..and plain wrong.

I retract it unreservedly.

My friend, you'd have to stumble a lot more to be as unworthy as I have been. At heart you are a good man and normally I keep my mouth shut but I was hoping for better out of you and you proved you are better than some people realize. May the Lord walk with you always.

Damn. And here I had a whole new rash of shit to.........never mind.

I am terribly sorry to have disappointed you..but I am sure you will find other opportunities

:D:D:D

It's easy to lose sight of what's right when you feel besieged on all sides. No worries Gator. It happens to the best of us.

I feel bad for her, she was practically disowned before her death by the grandson she raised and saw grow into a candidate for the most powerful position in the world. Even when she was lying on her deathbed, he made political points out of the situation.

Maybe it was more the MSM than him, but either way the entire situation looked more like a political stunt than a man actually caring for the woman who raised him.

Prayers for her safe trip, even if she was a "typical white person."

Yep. You and blinky just tag-teaming the "bait." Maybe he's your sock... Or maybe you're his... :eek:

Man the lifeboats!

o wait wrong account :p

That goes for me too.

Oh Madelyn's absentee vote will count, which is kind of heartwarming even in the face of how sad it must be for Barack.

which is my point as well. She's not free from all the bigotry and fear she had towards her grandson.

I don't agree with the man, but I'm very sorry for his loss and hope his family can find peace in this difficult time and our prayers are with them.
