could you imagine a 98 yrs old not having her Irish/Italian grandson calling to check in on her..Hey I was at Disney world and I checked in 2 times day. I got home in time that she knew I was there when she passed....my grandma was 98 yrs old, they wanted to deport her in WWII because she was Italian and not naturalized. Out of 8 children 2 sons served during the war, one being my father. WTF cares if he use his campaign plane I don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. They have to find something to complain about
If Obama wasn't going to see his grandma they'd be yelling that he was so cold hearted and ambitious he wouldn't take time from campaigning to visit her.

5. Exactly...his visit would be a boost to her.
why do Repukes begrudge such an act? Why,do the same people that believe every sperm is scared and brain dead people live, belive visiting an alive person is wrong. :wtf:

7. That repuke talking head, Brad Blakeman, tried to equate
Obama taking the campaign plane to be with his grandmother to Palin's $150,000 wardrobe. David Schuester almost laughed him off the air!
