SAD NEWS: Barack Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died in Honolulu (president, death)

Very, very sad news about Obama's grandmother. Tragic her death and on the eve of Barack's inevitable victory.

Quite a shame and a big blow to Barack, one that surely will temper his victory.

My heart goes out to that family and may she rest in peace.

that is so sad that she won't get to see her grandson become the next president. i'm sure he will have a very emotional speech tomorrow night.

Very sad indeed that she at least didn't live to see this play out.
