Toot had some other problems which were getting worse so Barry had to hurry home without the rest of his family to help Granny get over her desire to clear her conscience about Barry's Indonesian and Kenyan citizenship.

Barack Obama is home today in Hawaii with his ailing grandmother rather than on the campaign trail because he fears she won't make it to Election Day.
Obama, who polls show is the front-runner in the election to become the leader of the free world, is likely doing chores right now for the woman he affectionately calls Toot.
"I want to give her a kiss and a hug," the Democratic presidential candidate told Robin Roberts in an exclusive interview for "Good Morning America" before heading for Hawaii to see his 85-year-old grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, the woman who largely raised him.
"And then we're going to find out what chores I can do, because I'm sure there's been some stuff that's been left undone," he said.
The Illinois senator took the unprecedented step of quitting the presidential campaign with less than two weeks to go so he could hurry home to the apartment he grew up in and see Dunhill. He rejoins the campaign Saturday.
Toot, which is short for "tutu," the Hawaiian word for grandparent, has been sick for a while and recently fell and broke her hip.
"Without going through the details too much, she's gravely ill," Obama told Roberts in an interview that aired today on "GMA."
Besides the hip, Obama said, "She had some other problems that were getting worse. You know, we weren't sure, and I'm still not sure, whether she makes it to Election Day.

Toot had some other problems which were getting worse so Barry had to hurry home without the rest of his family to help Granny get over her desire to clear her conscience about Barry's Indonesian and Kenyan citizenship.
He wants to make sure granny doesn’t sing like a canary.
“One of the things I want to make sure of is that I had a chance to sit down with her and talk to her,” Obama told Roberts. “She’s still alert and she’s still got all her faculties. And I want to make sure that I don’t miss that opportunity right now.”
Yeah, we know what he needs to talk to her about.....and it ain’t her dying.
Lets hope Toot doesn’t utter racial stereotypes that make him cringe during his visit.
What’s that quote? “Booze and marijuana helped some. Toot, too — if I had the money.”
If 0bama’s grandmother is really in her final days, then why didn’t he take his wife and kids with him to see her one last time?
“Let me fluff your pillow, dear Toot.”
Oh geez. It is just simply amazing how the media allows this charlatan lead them by the nose. The bullshit and sappiness is just incredibly over the top but they all eat it up.
The title should be corrected to read
“Obama campaign continues with visit to ‘toot’”
Obama attempts to shore up position with women and the elderly. Key vote groups seen moving away from Obama
I think the 0bama campaign recognized the political opportunity from Biden’s mother’s death and began fantasizing about how great it would be if it happened to 0bama’s grandmother too.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cocaine, in slang usage
“see Dunhill”? Who’s Dunhill?
I thought "Toot" was the nickname Larry gave to Barry....
Why am I suddenly reminded of the scene in "Gladiator" where the villain pushes a pillow over the elder leader's face until he suffocates and dies?
Why do I think Obama would do that?
Because Obama is evil as hell, that's why.
...interesting timing for all this to happen.
“One of the things I want to make sure of is that I had a chance to sit down with her and talk to her,” Obama told Roberts. “She’s still alert and she’s still got all her faculties. And I want to make sure that I don’t miss that opportunity right now.”
Didn’t he just see her a couple months ago on his vacation in Hawaii? What has changed in three months? Of course he did not take his wife and kids to see her last time, or this time as well. The kids don’t need to say goodbye to their great grandmother, nor does his wife evidently. Soemthing stinks here to high heaven, but the media will not question the Messiah.

He’s there to whisper”you typical white people have had your turn. Now it’s over. Me and Michelle, we got PLANS! Bwaaahhaaaahhhhaaaahhhaaaa.!!”
Toot’s birthday is Sunday...you’d think he’d wait and visit her then...of course legal offices are likely closed on the weekend, eh?
Palin needs to say something that is very truthful, yet very provacative about Obama or Biden today. Something that cannot be legitimately denied by either, but has not been said before. There should be plenty of material.
....Obama attempts to shore up position with women and the elderly......
That may be, but I would suggest he has seen writing on the wall and has fled the scene to contemplate the problem. It helps to get in out of the thunder and rain when trying to make important decisions.
He has made a strategic retreat to plot how to counter attack.
And he said he’s going to do some chores have have been neglected.
Did it ever occur to this lowlife to hire a full time caregiver for his grannie. She devoted her life to him and he has no care at all for her well being.
What a disgrace.
Yeah, right. This is the grandmother who raised him after his mother dumped him off on her parents, yet Obama could only find one hour to see her when he was on vacation in Hawaii in August. Suspect there is some sort of tension between Obama and his grandmother.
The MSM reminds me of those medieval minstrals who followed the king around, singing apocryphal and exaggerated stories about the "great deeds" of the king.
“evil as hell”
Say it again! `Unwanted’ grandma, saying embarrassing things, suffering—I’m surprised she survived the Dark Lord’s visit.
” Obama, .... is likely doing chores right now for the woman he affectionately calls Toot.”
Obama is doing chores for Granny at the Hyatt Regency ?
His grandmother has been in ill health since at least March and Obama has been making her do her own chores ?
He couldn’t pay for some help ?
” Obama has also said publicly that he regrets not returning to his mother’s bedside before she died of cancer,
as he overestimated how much time she had to live, and he doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice.”
The AmSpec blog on Wed called BS on Obama’s patently false excuse.
Using his sister Maya’s version of events.
His mother was hospitalized at the premier cancer hospital in the US- Sloan-Kettering in NYC.
That should have been Obama’s first clue.
Obama was in Chicago-never visited.
Mother sent back to Hawaii-sans Barry.
She deteriorates in November , is brought to the hospital , put on a morphine drip.
That should have been Barry’s second clue.
His sister realizes how dire the situation , mother barely able to speak , slipping into coma.
Sister immediately flys to Hawaii from NYC.
Mom is in a coma ( Barry’s third clue ) for four days and passes away.
Only then did Barry come to Hawaii.
Having forced myself to read his books-he had a very strained and abnormal relationship with his mother.
He didn’t want to visit.
His grandma looks terribly sweet. If I had a grandma, I would stay by her side in her last days. There is nothing more precious than a grandma who helped to raise you. I am saying a prayer for her recovery.

A big Toot and a ‘righteous wind at your back’ go together.
How about calling Joe the Plumber?
On a serious note, does 0 really think we buy into this lie? He wouldn't know how to turn on a cordless drill.
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
“a prayer for her recovery”
Prayer’s prolly a good idea, TBV, since I was mistaken: she “survived”.
Re-reading the article, he’s still there. So like the movie charactor `Curly’ (Jack Palance) being asked: “Killed anyone today?” and he replies. “No.”
“But the day ain’t over yet.”
Here, Toot, I brought you a doggie bag from the Waldorf—
Lobster and caviar. Yum yum.
Any chores I can do? Here let me fluff up your pillow....
"And then we're going to find out what chores I can do, because I'm sure there's been some stuff that's been left undone."In my opinion, that "we" Obama uses is the "imperial we". Obama's gonna do what it takes to become Emperor of The World.
He owes it to the abandoned child he was, again and again. Abandoned by Dad, by Mom, by step-Dad, by Mom (again), and then by the whole white race. It's all part of the Great Fix that a child once dreamed and never gave up.
Now, in this moment which we are now in, at his gandma's deathbed, it is now at this time ... he's needs to make that final great sacrifice. An offering of the heart.
When was the last time anyone has seen this woman? Are there any home health nurses going in and out?
$20 bucks Obama is weeping over Granny casket before the election and I am an evil person (flame away), but I don’t think she is even here.
And it’s pathetic that this man is such a con artist that I would not put it past him to stage this.
That may be part of it....
My opinion is that the pictures of his mother (alleged) may have prompted him to return to Hawaii to make sure all previously hidden info is kept hidden.
I do care about the eligibility question. I could care less about his paternity..be it Obama Sr. or Davis. The pictures making the rounds on the internat are of no importance to me either.
The only importance they have in terms of the here and now is how Obama has handled it.
If Obama is the biological son of Davis and he knew this he has spun quite a yarn in his book. His choices would have been tell the truth or say nothing at all.
If he has spun a yarn, what does that say about his character?
“He wouldn’t know how to turn on a cordless drill.”
Most likely he’d try to figure out how to plug it in.
He takes over a week to go to the bedside of his ailing granny? Not sure how to read that one.
She hasn’t yet recovered from being thrown under the bus.
This guy knows how to tie his shoes. That's it.
Her last words will be, "God, I can't believe the country is probably going to elect this Marxist idiot..."
bump
Yeah . . . I just hope she does not eat anything he prepares for her.
Chores? Doesn’t wealthy grandson O send some cash to help her hire help while she is recovering??
I think I have figured it out.
Obama has gone to get a signed affidavit from Grandma that she was there when he was born in HI. They will use this to counter the tape Berg has of the Kenyan Grandma saying he was born over there.
No campaign appearences in Hawaii?
But it’s funny, I got my answers deleted on another forum, for implying that Obams could possibly, be looking for info and making damn sure that Gramma don’t talk...after all, I am sure that he had to keep the ‘black’ men away from her, she is after all, a ‘typical white woman’...such adoration, from her little bammalamma
Yeah , I really believe that sheite ABC. Damn, these people are sickening.
