BARACK OBAMA'S GRANDMOTHER DIES

Obama's 86 year-old grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died this morning of cancer. To think that she made it within 24-hours of seeing the grandson she raised possibly become the first African-American President of the United States. I can't imagine how conflicted Obama himself must feel.

On a completely separate note, I hope that this quiets the ghouls like Rush Limbaugh who raised questions about Obama's emergency visit with Dunham 10 days ago. As Rush put it:

"Who announces days in advance they're rushing to the side of a loved one who is deathly ill, but keeps campaigning in a race that's said to be over, only to go to the loved one's side days later? See, I think this is about something else. You know what's really percolating out there? And I've been laying low on this because it just -- it hasn't met the threshold to pass the smell test on this program. But this birth certificate business, this lawsuit that a guy named Phillip Berg filed in Philadelphia in August for Obama to produce his genuine birth certificate, and he still hasn't replied, he hasn't done so."

There simply is no "bottom" for people like Rush, Hannity, Corsi, and Savage - they are the lowest of the low.
