It blunts attacks from McCain in the coming days, shows Obama to be the genuine person he actually is - rather than the scary mystery man of the robo-calls, highlights his white working class roots, and is all about family. Not that any of that matters. I hope she recovers. From a purely crass political point of view – (my thoughts and prayers are with the family) – Obama’s trip home works in his favor.

I am a playwright & professor of theater. The most emotionally laden soliloquies of all colege theater students in New York cITY ARE SENSITIVE COMPASSIONATE gRANDMA ONES! They never fail to bring tears to the eyes of all. In the words of the musical "70 Girls 70" -----------'go visit your Grandmother.' When will this youth-obsessed, superficial-motored culture re-recognize wisdom comes with age; information comes from Internet? Grandmas are integral. I am a playwright & professor of theater.

Just personal opinion here, but this just indicates to me that there's one thing he puts before his public service, and that's caring for his family. This seems to indicate a genuine capacity to love from him. It has a very human aspect to it. I see this as a very good thing. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well.
