I just saw this in the main hall of my college, they had CNN on. My sympathies go out to him, especially at the inconvenient timing of it happening.
Very sad news I'm sure she would have been so proud to see him elected tomorrow. Again, my thoughts are with him and his family.
Yeah that's very sad to hear but it's reality. It's too bad she couldn't have held out a couple more days.
That is sad. However, she lived a good long life and I am confident she knew her grandson would be the next President of the United States. I'm glad Barack got to go visit her one last time.
It must be a very tough day for Obama. She was the one who raised him. Tomorrow could be a very bittersweet day for him
omg, but this could also be an omen :[ Maybe she wasn't supposed to see the day he loses, right before her coincidental death so she had to die early to make things less tragic! :[ but that's being WAY pessimistic.. :/
I remember reading about her in one of his autobiographical works, and I thought she was the most wonderful person ever. Very sad to hear of her death.
fyi although she died b4 the election she filled out an absentee vote and they counted it on election day or so i have heard from many people
