Woman Dies After Serving Obama by ikee(m): 4:01am On Jul 07, 2012
A restaurant owner who served US President Barack Obama breakfast on a campaign stop has died hours later.

Josephine Harris, 70, who owned Ann's Place in Akron, Ohio, was taken to hospital after complaining of fatigue and a tingling feeling.

She went into cardiac arrest en route and was pronounced dead shortly after 11:00 EST (15:00 GMT).

Mr Obama arrived the restaurant at about 08:30, ordering two eggs "over easy", bacon and wheat toast.

The Summit County medical examiner's office said Josephine Harris had died of natural causes and there would be no autopsy.

In a statement, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Mr Obama called her daughter from Air Force One to express "his sorrow and his condolences".

"He was honoured to meet [Ms Harris] this morning and passed on his feeling that the whole family is in his thoughts and prayers," Mr Carney said.

The Akron Beacon Journal reported that Ms Harris had hugged Mr Obama when she met him at the restaurant.

"I'm sure this was her highlight," Frankie Adkins, her sister, told the Journal. "She loved Obama."

Obama is Illuminatus and many ppl are so blind to see it even in the present of overwhelming evidence. The greatest con the Devil will ever pull is to make you believe he doesn't exist!

meeting and getting to hug the President of USA = fatigue or reduced performance, Tingling sensation or numbness of the fingers, hands, toes and lips and finally collapse, the lady prolly died of hyperventilation.

The stress of making her outlet look good and security arrangement for the visiting president might have contributed to her sudden......
Imagin your governor is coming to eat in your Buka when there are other Bukas around, you fill overwhelmed and honoured not to think of Obama. My thinking.

Re: Woman Dies After Serving Obama by buzugee(m): 9:13am On Jul 07, 2012
simple enough case. she has partially occluded coronary arteries that dont carry enough blood and hence oxygen to her heart. she sees obama. she is very excited and this triggers tachycardia. the tachycardia demands that she needs more oxygen and blood flow than usual to her heart. however the coronary arteries are partially occluded and cannot let enough through fast enough. her heart collapses. BANG. HELLO GOD.

Re: Woman Dies After Serving Obama by moderatorr: 9:23am On Jul 07, 2012
she was killed.
Obama may have been the target, but she refused.
To cover the evidence 'there would be no autopsy!'
how can a doctor just conclude by mere looking at a dead woman.
They killed her!
God help Obama. He will rule US the second time. And retire in sound mind.
Long live the king.
