KitchenAid, maker of dishwashers and other home appliances, has a big social media mess to clean up.
During Wednesday night's presidential debate, Barack Obama credited his tenacious grandmother who helped raise him and passed away three days before he was elected president.

Here's the tweet for those who don't know about it:

"Obamas gma even knew it was going 2 b bad! 'She died 3 days b4 he became president'."

They should apologize, that was a really low blow. And the person who sent it should probably get fired. I think Obama is a terrible president, but companies should not use his grandmother's death to bash him.

IMO, it's free game. Obama's using her death to promote his agenda.

Did you make the same kind of callous and stupid statement when Romney told about his father leaving a rose on his mother's pillow every morning until the day he died?

I think it is terrible for any one to say that. I do hope that person is fired. What are these people thinking when they put this stuff out there?
