This is truly such sad news. What a bitter-sweet time for the family. I can only imagine how proud she was of her grandson and what an incredible lady and influence she must have been.

Rest in peace. It's a shame she couldn't hold on 'til the election. Still, I'm sure she died very pleased and proud of Senator Obama.

This woman should be an inspiration to us all, regardless of political affiliation.
RIP.

I'll be optimistic and hope she was in the know recently enough to see him in the debates and to know he was going to win.

it's unbelievable what you can read in some of the comments on Fox News http://elections.foxnews.com/200…

She would have died an incredibly proud grandmother, which says as much for the great job she did as it does for the man she raised.
- whatever, she'd know he'd win..
it's bizarre.. but perhaps, you know.. argh.. i don't know..janne76 - I don’t think it would have really mattered to her – win or lose, she did a great job.MrOneHundred
- whatever, she'd know he'd win..

the timing of the announcement is intentional
- gawd I hope this is a lame attempt at a joke. If not, well then you are an idiot.threadpost
- nope seriously. you think they just had to come forth and tell the world the day before an election? not a chance it was thought throughKwesiJ
- thought through. call me cynical but this is how politics and the media work.KwesiJ
- why even bring this up?hallelujah
- Some people seem to forget it's the race to the post of the most powerful man on the planet. There are no holds barred.rafalski
- barred.SteveJobs
- i brought it up because everyone's all fuddy duddy about itKwesiJ
- what you said has nothing to do with it being a touching eventhallelujah
- you're very smug with your perpetual superior view on "what's really going on"hallelujah
- whether it's true or nothallelujah
- it didn't touch meKwesiJ

go look up an orbituary, or coroner report, see if its fake.. dumbassakoni - please you don't know what i'm talking about if you think i think its fake...dumbassKwesiJ
- kwesiJ, that's really really far fetched..janne76
- no its not think about it. she probably has a slew of private /government doctors who COULD even fake a cororoners report to corroborate itKwesiJ
- timing is everything in politicsKwesiJ
- I know what you mean KwesiJ, but let people who are emotionally attached to their candidate and his family mourn.rafalski

horrible news... perhaps all the talk about his trip to Hawaii last week to cover up possible evidence he was born in Kenya will finally subside...
... some of that 'talk' even had me going for a moment there - the form Dept. Attorney General of Penn. was one of the folks leading that 'talk'...
... pretty weak...
... and really sad for Obama's family given the long campaign and such close timing.
