Obama’s grandmother passed away today. It’s a damn shame she didn’t live to see her grandson be elected president of the United States* — but I have a feeling her confidence in him was strong enough that she didn’t need to be here on election day. I’m also one of those secret liberal God-believers you keep reading about, so I like to think that Barack will have an angel on his shoulder tomorrow.
I’m glad he left the campaign trail to see her one last time. Condolences to her family.
