Campaign Family Values

Yesterday before taking the plane out of Honolulu to make it to Reno for a rally, Obama spent even more time with his ailing grandmother, who turns 86 tomorrow.

He spent almost an entire two hours with his "dying" grandmother before heading out for a walk, and later on he went to the airport to board his private plane.

Beverly Nelson and Norma Parado were on their way back from lunch when they saw the crowd outside Dunham's apartment, parked, pulled out lawn chairs and joined in.

"I'm so glad he's here doing this," said Nelson, who spends part of the year in Hawai'i, the rest on the Mainland. "What he's doing at a time like this, he's showing such strength of character. He's paused his campaigning for family. That's the kind of person you want leading our country."


Just where Michelle and the girls are is a mystery.

Goodness! This is what passes for "character?"
