Sympathy? Excuse me while I vomit.

Hate is ugly. I'd steer clear of mirrors if I were you.

This is very sad news, indeed, and I send my most loving thoughts to the entire Obama family. I wish she could have been alive to see her grandson elected to the office of President of the United States, and I hope that the Obama family can be at peace with her death, and continue on with the strenght that they inherit from her. If I believed in "God" , I would end with "God Bless You" to the Obama family, but as I do not, please know that am sad for your sorrow and grieving, and that as an American citizen, I will support you and your beautiful family in every way that I can. I feel extremely grateful to you for taking on the difficult job of POTUS.

An enormous weight has been lifted from her. Hopefully she was ready to meet her maker.

I feel sorry for the Obama family and their loss. It is tragic that she couldn't have witnessed Barack's proudest moment.

I guess the poster whose status is "Barry: How's Grandma?" or something to that effect, has his or her answer now.

That is so sad. If he wins tomorrow (which seems to be), it would have been such a victory for her since she raised him. Also, his win will be shadowed by losing his grandmother on such an important day for him and his family.
