TrophyHusband 0 #1 November 3, 2008 this strikes me as very sad. i'm by no means a fan of obama, but if he wins, the best day of his life (i'm guessing) will be tempered by this. its also sad that she died the day before, instead of the day after her grandson was (possibly) elected president.

christelsabine 1 #2 November 3, 2008 What an unfortunate timing ... http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/world/barack-obamas-grandma-dies/2008/11/04/1225560779248.html dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #3 November 3, 2008 Very sad. I lost my grandmother in 2006 and it hurt a lot. I definitely feel for him. My grandma pushed me and pushed me to get an education, funding part of it herself. And she did get to see me finish up my bachelor degree before she died. On the plus side, Obama's grandmother did get to see him become a US Senator and the Democratic nominee for President, but I do wish she'd gotten the chance to see him win this election tomorrow.

TrophyHusband 0 #7 November 3, 2008 that shit is creepy and uncalled for. reguardless of whether or not a person agrees with his politics, i would hope that people could look past all that and have a little empathy for tragic timing of this.

I'd like to see because frankly I felt that Reagan's week-long mourning extravaganza on Fox, CNN, etc was *just a bit* exaggerated. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headoverheels 291 #10 November 4, 2008 QuoteThe same crap that came from the left when Reagan died. I doubt that the same happened when Reagan's grandmother died. Of course, only John McCain is old enough to remember that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reagan timed his own death to give himself an advantage in the election? Which year was it, 1980, or 1984?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

LongWayToFall 0 #12 November 4, 2008 That is a bummer for him, but don't you think that for her, she left seeing him at his strongest? I mean, if he loses, she would have been bummed, wins, she would be happy. But right now he is fighting, sorta like a warrior killed in combat rather than in old age, is remembered only for being at his strongest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which year was it, 1980, or 1984? *** No, I was referring to the nasty comments made by people. It comes from both sides. I could not believe some of the stuff people on hear spewed when Reagan passed.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed.
