Barack Obama has suspended his campaign to rush to Hawaii to be at the bedside of his ailing 86-year-old grandmother. She pretty much raised him. If it is God's will that Obama is to become the next US president, I pray that He preserves Madelyn Dunham at least long enough to see that happen. It would be so terribly sad if she passed away at this moment. If you will, please pray for her health and recovery, no matter how you feel about Obama's candidacy.

Is this really Beliefnet? And, if so, judging from some of your unchristian writings, what is it that you believe in? The mere ignorance and uncalled for vetting of some of these postings is simply unbelievable.
This is sad it makes me wonder and understand the horrors of slavery and how these horrors are passed down from generation to generation.
Only the knowledge of the Word of God, the doing of the Word of God can change a mans heart. You have to want to leave the darkness and enter into the light which is the truth.
Any one who can express such filth is truly a child of Satans, and this is the devils world, we are just journeying through, trying to pass the test to reach our permanent home.
Remember the words of Jesus, "I have not lost any, but one who was predestined".
This filth makes me want to vomit for them.
I am walking in the light and I will continue to pray for the souls of us all.
More on the "wastrel daughter" from Obama's sister in an interview with Salon:
What do you think your mother Ann Dunham's legacy was?
Definitely, without a doubt, her compassion and empathy, her ability to see the humanity of other people, her hopefulness -- she was eternally hopeful. You think about this woman with two failed marriages that she really, really wanted to work, but she still believed in marriage. She witnessed all kinds of poverty, inequality and injustice and oppression, but she still believed in human beings and their potential to do good.
Who was more influential, your mother or your grandmother?
Both. I think they each gave Barack something separate. Our mother was more of a dreamer, but she was also very pragmatic when she needed to be. And our grandmother was very practical, no nonsense, but was also our emotional tether when she needed to be. I mean, she's the reason we could make all of these choices and we could operate bravely in our own lives because we knew she was there.
Jesus raise up this lady up out her sickness keep your hand on her because she is a blessing to you and others.She is dearly loved.
none of this matters cause he's gonna wipe out your pensions and 401ks, not renew bush tax cuts and bang ya on capital gains. noone in their right mind will want to own a small business.
