I'll bet you 99-1, she lives at least another 5 years. Wanna wager? He went over there to make sure that family letters, photos and documents are covered.

Obama leaves campaign trail to visit ill grandmother - USATODAY.com
After her hospitalization, Dunham last week returned to the Beretania Street apartment where she raised Obama.

Undecideds now you can see they can't even get the basics of their smears right. So telling, so revealing!

I can't believe some of the stuff I read here sometimes.

"If" she was on her death bed, why wait 3-4 days to go see her?

Did you do any basic research before posting
Obama arrives in Hawaii | HonoluluAdvertiser.com | The Honolulu Advertiser
Obama departed the plane and entered his motorcade at a private hangar. The motorcade left the hangar at about 7:30 p.m. and proceeded directly to the Makiki-area apartment complex of his maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham.

The motorcade arrived at his grandmother's apartment complex at about 7:45 p.m. Obama entered the complex for a private visit.

Obama met with his grandmother for about one hour. The Democratic presidential nominee did not make a statement to the news media about the visit or about his plans in Honolulu.

Obama's motorcade left his grandmother's apartment complex at about 8:50 p.m. for a short trip to the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, where the senator is staying. The motorcade arrived at the hotel just after 9 p.m.

That proves nothing. It is today we are speaking of, not last night.

He still had some more Whoop A** to put on McGrumpy before leaving. Notice the surge in the polls before going? Remember where the RCP average was on Sunday compared to today? That is the major Can of Whoop A** he needed to lay on McCringe or is it McBlink? Thus with mission accomplished he took some time off for family.
