The less he is seen, the better he does. No chance of meeting another Joe the Plumber when you’re sitting on a lawn chair sipping a Mai Tai.

I guess that means that the Messianic event in Miami for tomorrow is cancelled? I was thinking of going down there with my “Obama Nope” signs.

I’ve put up about 200 around town, and some wacko really got aggressive with me today, almost got into a fist fight on US 1.

Ok, who hasn't used this excuse to get out of work?
This will effect the polls.

Scary thought, and I wonder if he is cold enough to make it happen. I say yes.

It is sad when someone looses a grandparent especially since she raised him...if we are talking about the white grandmother.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Democrat Barack Obama is canceling nearly all his campaign events Thursday and Friday to fly to Hawaii to visit his suddenly ill 86-year-old grandmother.
Campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters Monday that Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, who helped raise him, was released from the hospital late last week. But he says her health has deteriorated to the point where her situation is very serious.
Gibbs said Obama would return to the campaign trail on Saturday, though he was unsure where.
Obama events originally planned for Madison, Wis., and Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday will be replaced with one in Indianapolis before he makes the long flight to Hawaii.

I wonder who is paying for the trip—the Campaign, ACORN, or B.O. himself? Is there a difference?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was using it to try to get sympathy votes. He’s that dirty.
