Obama Takes Two Days Off to See Grandmother
Candidate Will Travel to Hawaii; Campaign Says She Has Been Ill
Because his grandmother Madelyn Dunham, 86, has taken ill, Barack Obama is canceling events scheduled for Thursday in Madison, Wis., and Des Moines, Iowa, and flying to Hawaii, his campaign announced this evening.
On a flight from Orlando to West Palm Beach, Fla., tonight, senior campaign adviser Robert Gibbs told reporters that the health of the Illinois senator's grandmother, who helped raise him, had taken a turn for the worse, necessitating Obama leaving the campaign trail for two days.
Gibbs said Obama would return from Hawaii late Friday evening or early Saturday morning.
"Sen. Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has always been one of the most important people in his life, along with his mother and grandfather," Gibbs said, reading a statement. "She raised him in Hawaii from the time he was born until the moment he left for college. As he said at the Democratic convention, she poured everything she had into him.

Don't know if this means anything, and Andy Martin sounds like he's not all there perhaps but this is part of the scuttlebutt from another blog. Take it FWIW.

Actually, there is another very good reason Obama is rushing to Hawaii. Andy Martin of Contrarian Commentary is there scouring the island for the truth about Obama and is suing the state of Hawaii to release the original documents showing Obama’s birth certificate and/or adoption and/or citizenship status, immediately.
