I Thought Barack Obama Was Going To Visit His Grandmother?

Obama said three days ago that he was going to suspend his campaign to go and visit his ailing grandmother, but it doesn’t appear he’s actually visited her yet.

Hate to be harsh here, but for a guy who’s lamenting not being there with his mother when she was ill, he appears to be taking his time getting to Hawaii to visit grandma.
He discloses to CBS News he’s wistful he wasn’t able to get to Hawaii in time before his mother died.
So if that’s the case, why isn’t he already in Hawaii?

Here’s the report from CBS:

Sen. Barack Obama told The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith that he doesn’t want to make the same mistake with his grandmother that he made with his dying mother.
In an exclusive interview to be broadcast Thursday morning, the Democratic presidential candidate recalled how didn’t get to his mother before she died.
“Yeah, got there too late,” the senator said in the interview, conducted Wednesday afternoon in Richmond, Va. “You know, I mean, it was sort of like this, in the sense that she had a terminal illness. We knew she wasn’t doing well, but you know, the diagnosis was such that we thought we had a little more time and we didn’t. And so I want to make sure that I don’t make the same mistake twice.”

Is Obama’s grandmother even actually sick? Or is this just an excuse to allow him to duck the media as we near election day? I’d respect the heck out of the guy for going to visit his sick grandmother in the midst of such a high-profile election, but saying he’s going to visit her? And then not, you know, actually going?
That smacks of a political tactic aimed at manipulating the public into feelings of sympathy.

  • RebTex

    It’s a ploy to grab the sympathy vote & let him seem “vulnerable”.
    And a way to shut the door on questions for the woman before the vote.
    If it really was the end of Toots,Michelle & the little obama girls would surely be taken along.
    Surely a father wouldn’t deprive his kids of the last earthly chance to see their Great GrandMother.

    Haphazardlies drove the limo in Hawaii, so naturally he has an “inside track” as to what Obama was thinking on the mainland three days before he got there!

    I know you have trouble remembering what the question was, so I keep reminding you!

    The first line of the post:

    Obama said three days ago that he was going to suspend his campaign to go and visit his ailing grandmother, but it doesn’t appear he’s actually visited her yet.

    Not that he went, but that it took him so damn long to get there!

  • dannyboy

    You think you are doing good work, and for fellow political partisan hacks you are. But are you accomplishing positive results for the good of the party? Not so much!

    How about positive results for the good of humanity? This Vagina McGinstein does nothing but spread lies and discord, feeding the paranoid element that his party is so committed to, setting up all manner of reasons to question the authenticity of Obama’s election. His intentions are evil, selfish, and driven by fear.

  • Hannitized

    BTW… since, by yet another coincidence on top of the remarkable string of near-unbelievable events in your life, you found yourself in the Obama motorcade after receiving numerous ‘emails’ from the Obama campaign, perhaps you might be willing to share one of those emails with us?

    I can do better than that PP, I have photos. I hung out with Robert Gibbs, photo. I dropped him off at the jet, photo. I took a pick of the jet, me near the jet. I’ve got that all and more.

    But would that really convince you? I have to get ready for the Honolulu Theatre of youth silent auction ball….but i will get that info to you tomorrow.

    Gnight.

  • dawneyr

    The grandmother’s reported health aside, I pray for her safety and protection. God forbid the woman who is said to have been in the delivery room at Obama’s birth in Kenya would be “Ron Browned” out of the picture. :(

  • Hannitized

    No remarks about Poofy or Di, PP? Thats a shame.

  • Hannitized

    I want you to take a good long look at this post PP. This is the sort of thing that I have been dealing with since I got here.

    I happen to have had an inside track on this one so I could speak pretty well with authority on this issue. And instead of having my remarks considered, they were derided and everyone on this site, and many frantically chose to believe I was some delusional liar who was unable to see the faulty and partisan arguments from people like Rob and Poofy, and I was pretty much giving you insight on this matter and it was ignored and worse mocked.

    You also didn’t bother to read the comments before you criticized my complaint about the SAB audience, I was also accurate on that as well.

    Hopefully you will start actually listening to me instead of wishing what I was saying is untrue.

  • 2Hotel9

    Why would Barri need a motorcade to visit his grandmother? He is not there to campaign, so all he needed to do was catch a cab big enough for him and the 3 Secret Service agents accompanying him.

    It wasn’t Robert108, it was 2Hotel9, and that is yet another SAB member who isn’t fully up to the challenge.

    In response to dealing with a person who actually has an inside track and was in the motorcade, your response is to completely dismiss it as a Taxi driver and bury your head in the sand.

    If you are able to do this on issues that are so clear, imagine how badly you are screwing up issues and topics that are generally more complex to easily decide.

    You guys truly are pathetic and you have no idea, or you simply don’t care and you get your satisfaction from your juvenile arguments and partisanship.

  • Hannitized

    It never was about timing, it was about saying he was going to go, and not going.

    Obama said three days ago that he was going to suspend his campaign to go and visit his ailing grandmother, but it doesn’t appear he’s actually visited her yet.

    And…

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Well, it does seem weird that the whole family didn’t go. Also, I don’t get why he wouldn’t stay another day or two until her b’day, at least. Heck, I’d have some respect for him if he stayed 4 or 5 days.

    I think the 72 hour delay and the short visit means that either Obama’s internal polls are tighter than those published, or he doesn’t trust in whatever slim lead he might have.
    The quest for power always trumps the personal, anyway!

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    I think it is a shame they way the SAB audience is criticizing Obama for visiting his grandmother.

    No, dwarf, I think the criticism revolved around his NOT visiting his grannie for three days after he said how important it was to him and how quickly he bailed after he got there.

    You toddle back to the kiddie pool, now! You have such a hard time figuring out grown up words and your rubber duckie must be getting lonely!

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Guess r108 was right about you being a Honolulu taxi driver!

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    As I have aptly demonstrated, that was not the point.

    As you have not demonstrated at all, that was my point all along! He gets a phone call on Sunday that his beloved granny is dying, he announces to the world on Monday that he doesn’t want to be too late as was the case with his mother, and then he waits until Thursday to go.

    I asked you if that time line was correct, (I know that it is, I just like to watch you squirm when confronted with facts!) you keep avoiding the question and its implications.

    Go back to the FIRST LINE of Rob’s post. It’s the SAME question, dullard troll! That’s not moving the goal posts, troll, that’s arguing the facts…the ones you’d rather not deal with.

    I just realized, I’m not sure why I didn’t see it before, but your pathetic attempts to avoid the central argument while simultaneously making the post all about you, are just haphazard tries for you to make sense.

    In the context Rob used it, it related to the fact that he had not gone to visit her.

    He had not gone to visit her…yet. Goes to timing, which you, being deficient in the understanding of words department, said it wasn’t.

    4. from the preceding time; as previously; still: He came here on a vacation 20 years ago, and he is here yet.

    Poof, you are in over your head again.

    What are you babbling about Han-job? Obama said it was important to him to visit his dying grannie and then sat on his hands and attended campaign events for three days before going.
    The point, dullard troll, was not that he went, but that he delayed going after telling the world how critical it was for him to get there before it was too late.

    I have the truth,

    If that’s true, then you simply don’t know what to do with it! Go back to the Kiddie pool. You’re in over your head here!

  • Hannitized

    I think the criticism revolved around his NOT visiting his grannie for three days after he said how important it was to him and how quickly he bailed after he got there.

    Not quite Poofy, I you read the words (you know, the black letters that are arranged together in a certain order meant construct a meaning) you can clearly see that Rob’s criticism is of Obama NOT visiting his grandmother, at all.

    I’d respect the heck out of the guy for going to visit his sick grandmother in the midst of such a high-profile election, but saying he’s going to visit her? And then not, you know, actually going? - Rob Port

    As I said, they have been planning his arrival since Tuesday, I know, because I was part of the campaign staff helping out with the motorcade. I was engaged early on to help out.

    Obama wanted his grandmother to meet the key people helping him, such as his chief campaign strategist, Robert Gibbs and others who are helping make this possible for the American people. It takes time to plan events like this.

    This is just another example of Rob getting things completely wrong and mouthing off about it. I happen to have the inside track on this one.

  • robert108

    Guess r108 was right about you being a Honolulu taxi driver!

    With all due respect, that wasn’t me; I don’t think he’s old enough to be a taxi driver.

  • Hannitized

    Rob is so full of shit. The Obama campaign has been sending me emails to help out with the motorcade since Tuesday. So the plans were well in effect before his arrival yesterday.

    Rob is a partisan hack and a lying piece of trash.

  • Hannitized

    The point, dullard troll, was not that he went, but that he delayed going after telling the world how critical it was for him to get there before it was too late.

    As I have aptly demonstrated, that was not the point. It certainly wasn’t the point I was arguing.

    Poofy comes in and thinks he can change the argument by making things up and lying. Sorry Poofy, but you are just a sad and pathetic Rob apologist.

    I argue my own points, which you cannot comprehend because

    You may argue your own points, but you can’t change MY argument simply because you wish to move the goal posts.

    I commented on the stupidity of Robs post, and you are here trying to defend him like the sorry lap dog you are.

    The fact of the matter is that you are a delusional half-wit who thinks a whole lot more of himself than he should.

    So, you were in the motorcade. BFD. Is this your way of apologizing to Obama because he couldn’t get good help?

    Yeah, I am part of the campaign team locally and I helped the national campaign members, including the senior political strategist while they were here.

    There was only a few of us helping, I was the only one helping on Friday.

    You can dismiss my relationships if that is what you need to feel good about yourself and to disregard my arguments, but you merely make yourself look like a complete idiot.

    You do it well Poofy because truly, that is what you are.

    I am personal friends with Obama’s sister. You just don’t know what you are talking about.

  • Hannitized

    That explains the three day wait before he left! It also explains why his visit was so short.

    The fact that you ignore sacrifice for selfishness is not our problem, it’s yours. I have already explained that the family of Obama understands the commitment and sacrifice it takes to win this election for the American people. You don’t subject yourself to these sort of attacks because you like it.

    The Obama family are selfless people who are committed to helping others. Just as a soldier sacrifices to serve his country, so should our politicians.

    They understand the American public does not want him to miss any opportunity to win this election for us.

    You are simply spinning because that is all you have. I have the truth, and you are not adult enough to handle it. You prove this with your childish responses.

    Guess r108 was right about you being a Honolulu taxi driver!

    Yeah, OK, Poofy, what ever you say.

    Have the Obamas adopted a special-needs daughter as the McCains have done?

    And, as an aside, how clever of you, H, to attempt to equate some mythical ‘sacrifice’ of the Obama family with the actual sacrifice of John McCain and his family.

    I think it is a shame they way the SAB audience is criticizing Obama for visiting his grandmother.

    None of you have any insight as to what you are talking about. You go about making your wild speculations at the expense of Obama and his character. Fine. Obama understands that he will take the criticism for your lack of understanding. He is willing to take that abuse for all of us who want to see him win.

    But make no mistake about it. Obama’s family understands that Barack that it is more important to him to be there fore the people of the United States than it is for him to be at the side of his grandmother while she is in the hospital. And let me remind you that none of you know her status.

    You ascribe his behavior to his desire for power, but none of you know or realize how much this family is committed to helping our country and are completely unselfish.

    His sister has two Masters degrees and is one of the most intelligent and caring persons that i know. She is a school teacher for the Keiki here in Hawaii, when she could be make so much more having selfish interests.

    And Liqwid, you think I am bewildered but I have a lot more insight to this than you think or know.

    Well, it does seem weird that the whole family didn’t go. Also, I don’t get why he wouldn’t stay another day or two until her b’day, at least. Heck, I’d have some respect for him if he stayed 4 or 5 days. His base of people are going to vote for him, I doubt he will change anyone’s mind this late date. To me, it would mean more if he put her first.

  • Hannitized

    PP,

    Nowhere did Rob – or anyone else whose posts are on this thread – criticize Senator Obama for visitng his grandmother.

    That is either an uninformed opinion or a deliberate attempt to bury the reality.

    Both Poofy and Di have criticized Obama for the timing of going to visit his grandmother. That certainly qualifies as the type of criticisms I have complained about.

    And while Poofy is silly enough to believe he and Rob were making the same argument, they were clearly not.

    Rob criticized Obama for not going, and Poofy and Di criticized him for waiting too long.

    This of course puts aside the fact that my comment was a general statement meant to cover the entire process of planning and leaving to visit Toot.

    Both have been criticized it and I believe you know this. If you didn’t, you certainly do now.

    You should not be condemning me, you should be condemning your SAB friends.

    He was planning to go. It’s a matter of living up to your obligations and taking care of business. A responsible person can do both.

    The issue here is how ill was Toot? I don’t think she was that ill where visiting her could not wait for the Secret Service to plan his arrival and for Barack to finish his plans and obligations.

    My criticism of Rob and the others here on this site I think are valid. Did you see the vapid responses by some?

    I am glad to see you are not part of that crowd PP.

  • Hannitized

    What do you want Joel? A pic of me in a large data center? A pic of me holding todays newspaper?

    Why don’t you just admit you were wrong, and then apologize to me for questioning my honor and integrity. It’s the least you could do.

  • Hannitized

    The point, dullard troll, was not that he went, but that he delayed going after telling the world how critical it was for him to get there before it was too late.

    You keep repeating that line in hopes that will change the argument Rob made, but it’s just not so.

    Again, i remind you;

    I’d respect the heck out of the guy for going to visit his sick grandmother in the midst of such a high-profile election, but saying he’s going to visit her? And then not, you know, actually going? – Rob Port

    So Rob’s point is that he didn’t believe Obama was actually going. But the Campaign contacted me on Tuesday, asking for my assistance. They were planning all along for him to arrive on Thursday and leave Friday.

    Obama did as he said, Rob should then respect the heck out of him, correct?

    But you, you don’t like the fact that Rob painted himself in that corner, so you move the goal posts. You are pathetically transparent Poofy.

    I still question your honor and integrity. You’re a deceitful con artist…post as many pictures as you want…it just gives more insight and clues….but, be careful

  • pparets

    Hannitized… The photos you provided are certainly compelling evidence which no reasonable person could deny.
    Thank you.

    However, when you make statement like this…

    I think it is a shame they way the SAB audience is criticizing Obama for visiting his grandmother.

    … you are painting with a very broad and sloppy brush. Nowhere did Rob – or anyone else whose posts are on this thread – criticize Senator Obama for visitng his grandmother.

    What has been discussed are the parameters, details and deliberate political sideshow attending what should be a personal family matter. People are entitled to ask tough questions accurately, and you are entitled to answer them accurately.

  • Hannitized

    Thans Zsa Zsa. But I have a feeling if we weren’t so wrapped up in politics and if we worked together, we might just get along fine.

    This blog can bring out the worst in people.

    My dog passed in Sept., Hemangiosarcoma….(cancer). He was brilliant, you would probably think he was smarter then me. :)

    Here’s one of the E-mails:

    Psycho

  • Hannitized

    It’s called psychosis; an abnormal condition of the mind involving a “loss of contact with reality”.

    Not really Joel, it’s called denial on your behalf. And it astounds me why it is so hard to believe. But, what ever.

    Here’s a pic of Robert Gibbs and I at the jet.

    Here is one of the Obama jet, the local press could not even get this far. They blocked them at the main entrance of the private runway area. So you have to have connections just to get this far.

    And here is one of me taking one of myself near the jet. i had to back up as to get the logo in the frame.

    Here is a pic with me an Maya (Obama’s sister) after one of the rally’s.

    Here is a pic of Chelsea Clinton and I at a little martini bar in downtown honolulu.

    and..

    The emails can be faked…so what is the point?

    The bottom line is you can keep pretending that I am making up my life, and everytime you do I get curious and then I realize I understand something you don’t PP.

    I am a believer in the fact that anything is possible in life, and I surround myself with those type of people with the same belief system. Because anything in life is possible and you only need to believe in yourself and stop the self limiting talk. You must tell yourlsef that you can not do anything you want in life, because if you aren’t realizing your hopes and desires, you are not believing it is possible and you certainly aren’t going to take steps to make it possible.

    I could go on for days with pics of me in the studio of the radio show I was a part of, my office in SF overlooking the bay bridge in the financial district. Pics of me surfing in Hawaii and 15ft surf in northern cal. And prove everything I said. But will it make you truly believe? I wonder.

    It’s called psychosis; an abnormal condition of the mind involving a “loss of contact with reality”.

    People experiencing psychosis have delusional beliefs.

  • Hannitized

    Joel,

    The fact that you are in such denial to the obvious goes to show how you think in general, and about politics and politicians as well.

    What more do you want man? I can post a picture from my child-hood to adult-hood supporting everything I have said.

    Why is it so hard to believe anyway? What is the big deal?

  • http://www.willisms.com/ Zsa Zsa

    HA!… Too bad you don’t have a brain to match your studliness! IF that is you you are pretty cute.

  • Hannitized

    Why don’t we make a picture together? How about I make one holding a sign up that says you lack the character to admit you were wrong? You can tell me to hold a wooden spoon or a turkey sandwich or something?

    The possibilities are endless.

    The difference between men;

    Hannitized… The photos you provided are certainly compelling evidence which no reasonable person could deny.
    Thank you. – PParets

    compared to;

    I don’t believe the punk…those could be anybody’s pictures. You can view and download entire albums [of other people] on Flickr or Webshots etc. He’s a liar.

    He’s trying “way ” to hard to convince prople…. I still think he’s a psycho… his B.S. smells rotten….don’t be fooled folks. – joel

    PP was right. No reasonable person would deny the pics. So what does that make you Joel? Bitter, in denial, unreasonable, or all of the above?

    Cute doggy!

  • Hannitized

    Poofy,

    Did you even see the word “yet” at the end of the sentence?

    I did, and the second sentence I provided proves that the use of it was in context of the fact that he hasn’t gone to visit her, and that Rob questioned if he would visit her at all.

    Do you have any idea what the word “yet” might have to do with timing????

    In the context Rob used it, it related to the fact that he had not gone to visit her. Rob made no argument about it taking too long. Rob’s argument was that he wasn’t sure was actually going or not.

    Sheesh! I knew you had trouble with four letter words. This is the first three letter word that seems eternally beyond your comprehension!

    Poof, you are in over your head again.

  • Hannitized

    …post as many pictures as you want…it just gives more insight and clues….

    What do you think that thing is that was blurred out in the pic with the rad CheaterFive hat?

    What insight does that give you?

  • Lestat

    Hey Rob,

    Obama is doing exactly what he said he would do. Not suspending his campaign, because the campaign is far more than just the candidate, but going to Hawaii on Thursday and Friday to visit his gramdmother. He has done that.

    So my question to you is:

    Are you a fucking liar for saying you wouldn’t attack him for visiting his grandmother?

    or

    Are you just too stupid to know his stated plans?

    or

    Do you just get your talking points from the Republican Party?

    There are no other options.

    My guess is that you are all three, a stupid liar who just follows the talking points.

  • sparkie

    you guys are ones to talk about ducking the media. they are so biased what does it matter?

    right?

  • Hannitized

    I’d respect the heck out of the guy for going to visit his sick grandmother in the midst of such a high-profile election, but saying he’s going to visit her? And then not, you know, actually going?

    That smacks of a political tactic aimed at manipulating the public into feelings of sympathy.

    He’s coming alright. I know this because I am part of the organized support for the motorcade.

    Just another cheap shot by a political hack who lacks human decency. You are part of the reason why so may move away from your party Rob.

    You think you are doing good work, and for fellow political partisan hacks you are. But are you accomplishing positive results for the good of the party? Not so much!

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    I heard on the radio a few minutes ago that she might not live until her birthday on Sunday, which, if she is in such bad shape, makes it all the more baffling that Obama would hang out for three days talking about how important it was for him to go and not go!

  • Lestat

    Dude, his plans have not been secret. He has followed them. You are just too stupid, lazy and partisan to look them up.

    He has done what he said he would do at the time he said he would do it.

    You said you respected him for visiting his ailing grandmother and you wouldn’t attack him.

    FUCKING LIAR!!!

  • RebTex

    I dunno.
    I feel that if a man’s Honour is questioned & he pony’s up with proof, give him his due.
    It is completely plausable that he is exactly what he says he is.
    You don’t ever know just who might be typing back & forth with you on these blogs.
    And I understand the system that the obama campaign uses to man their events.
    Many are inside faithful & many others are volunteer supporters.

  • RebTex

    Maybe he feels as strongly about his politics as you feel about yours?

  • patriot

    And is anyone going to ask why the great- granddaughters aren’t going to see their very sick great grandmother?

    Wonder if the media will question why Michelle and the girls aren’t going? Or why -when in Hawaii for one week- the devoted grandson spent only one hour – sans family – with the ailing grandmother?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/entry/white_folks_greed_runs_a_world_in_ Joel

    What kind of a moron would post so much personal information [including photos] on a blog? Shouldn’t one worry about personal security in these “uncertain” and tumultuous times?

  • Hannitized

    He had not gone to visit her…yet. Goes to timing, which you, being deficient in the understanding of words department, said it wasn’t.

    I am not going to keep going in circles with you Poof. The only issue Rob had was that he wasn’t sure if Obama was going or not. That is why he used the word, yet, in case he actually did visit her.

    He didn’t use the word yet to mean he was criticizing how long it took him to visit her. That is just your mind playing tricks on you….and me….and everyone else who is stuck reading your spin.

  • Hannitized

    It never was about timing, it was about saying he was going to go, and not going.

    Obama said three days ago that he was going to suspend his campaign to go and visit his ailing grandmother, but it doesn’t appear he’s actually visited her yet.

    And…

    I’d respect the heck out of the guy for going to visit his sick grandmother in the midst of such a high-profile election, but saying he’s going to visit her? And then not, you know, actually going?

    That smacks of a political tactic aimed at manipulating the public into feelings of sympathy.

    I know reading comprehension isn’t one of your very limited strong suits, not sure that you have any really. But certainly you screwed this one up.

    You certainly do have a face for radio! Heh.

    I have a face for radio…

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Sorry, r108! It’s hard to keep track of all the derision directed at this one. He deserves so much of it!

  • http://sayanythingblog.com robport

    Today is Thursday, genius. And where was Obama?

    At a rally. In Virginia. 5,665 miles from Hawaii.

    By the way, check out the step-by-step directions in that Google Map. “Kayak across the Pacific.”

    That’s hilarious.
