Madelyn Dunham, grandmother of Illinios Senator Barack Obama, has pretty much raised him. This 86 year old women has, Mr. Obama has cancelled all his campaigns and rushed to Hawaii to be at her grandmother’s side.  Obama last visited Hawaii in August, when he spent a week on vacation after clinching the Democratic presidential nomination. Obama events originally planned for Madison, Wis., and Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday will be replaced with one in Indianapolis before he makes the long flight to Hawaii.

 

Robert Gibbs told reporters Monday that Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, who helped raise him, was released from the hospital late last week. But he said her health had deteriorated “to the point where her situation is very serious.”

In a campaign ad this year, Obama described his Dunham as the daughter of a Midwest oil company clerk who “taught me values straight from the Kansas heartland” — things like “accountability and self-reliance. Love of country. Working hard without making excuses. Treating your neighbor as you’d like to be treated.” She’s also the “white grandmother” he referred to in a speech on race.

 

The latest daily tracking poll of registered voters by Gallup showed Obama expanding his lead to 11 points nationwide. The daily Rasmussen survey, however, had McCain narrowing the race to four points, trailing Obama by 50 percent to 46 percent of voters nationwide.

 

So lets all pray that He preserves Madelyn Dunham at least long enough to see her wonderful grandson become the US president. Whether or not she will see him elected President, she surely receives much happiness knowing that he has grown up to be a man in whom many good people are able to have much confidence.
