If he is so emotional about it why did he not take his wife and children to Hawaii with him before she passed. He could afford it and he knew she was in bad shape. Something is just sooooo off about him and his family and when coupled with his choice of friends......he can't be trusted!

wow are you serious?? He did it so he can be alone with her. He did it to say goodbye. I don't see anything wrong with that

My grandmother died four years ago. I was very close to her and she was ill for quite a while before she passed.
Several months before she died I brought my child- her great grand child to visit her. It was before she declined too much so it wasn't upsetting for my child to see her.
About two weeks before she died I visited alone- it was a chance for me to say goodbye to her and sit by her bed and give her my full attention. I didn't bring my husband or anyone with me- and I traveled across the country.
And I traveled to see her again three days before she died. Alone again. Not because I couldn't afford to bring my family, but because it would have been upsetting for my child to see her that way- and again, I wanted to focus all of my energy and attention on this woman who loved me unconditionally and who I loved tremendously.
I understand exactly what Obama did and why he did it. He and his family are in my prayers tonight.

I am the grandmother of a beloved bi racial grandson who I love more than my own life. I know the special strengths he has and the special challenges he faces. I know how proud I am to see each of his achievements. So I can have at least a glimpse into his grandmother's heart and have some understanding of the pride in the person he has become and the joy at watching so much of the world embrace that person she must have felt. I wish so much that she could have hung in for at least a couple more days. But I believe that she will have a front row seat to see his election tomorrow and I hope he will be able to feel her love around him then.
How can anyone have anything but sympathy for Obama tonight...
He must be torn with emotions...
Here he is on the eve of becoming President - which should be a joyous event, and at this exact time the woman who raised him as her own son, who was the only mother he knew, passes away..
I hope after tomorrow he goes into seclusion for a few days, attends her funeral and spends time with family while he grieves...
