Obama's Grandmother Dies Hours Before Election by RICHIEBOI1(m): 11:30pm On Nov 03, 2008
Barack Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died following a bout with cancer, Obama and his sister said today. She was 86. Obama, who spoke about his grandmother often on the stump, left the campaign trail for two days in late October to visit Dunham in Hawaii.

She has just given up everything for barack.
I believe her death is a sacrifice made to the final emancipation of black race.
Its a pity she died hours before the making of the history but
her death is part of the price the whites will pay for trading us as commodities.

My thought and prayers to Sen. Obama's family. If only she could have lived one more day to see the result of her labour. Rest in peace Mrs Dunham!

Well, the death of Grandma is a ransom to Obama's life.

All who stand to execute Him will fall for his sake.

No man can battle the lord.

Mama, fight for your son.

Adieu.
