Today Obama along with his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng announced the passing of the grandmother Madelyn Dunham loving known as "Toot". Obama last seen her on Oct 24, making a break from his campaign to be with her during her final days. My sympathy goes out to Obama and family over the loss of their matriarch.
May the ancestors welcome her spirit home.
Many right wingers were attacking Obama for leaving the campaign trail and afterwards calling his visit a sham. McCain has sent a message of sympathy from himself and Cindy.
It would have been nice for his grandmother to live to see her grandson take on the highest office in the nation. I'm pretty sure her spirit will be watching and will be proud as all ancestors will.
