If your mother was gravely sick in the hospital, would you stick her in an airplane for a 10 hour trip? I don't think so.

He definitely thinks he has the election won already. Also, by going on a long trip to Hawaii to see his mother, his advisers have probably told him he will pick up some votes from the elderly mothers in the USA.

Do not under-estimate Obama. He makes Slick Willie Clinton look like a political dummy.

But everyone get out and vote for McCain. Every vote counts. My sister is so mad at anyone that does not vote. She did not vote at her last local election because she was sick and it was raining that day, and one of the ballot questions that she wanted to see pass, lost by ONE vote.

She has a broken hip.... lying in bed flying for ten hours (five hours to Stanford) in a quite posh jet, with a nurse and doctor on hand, would be better care than she would receive in a traditional hospital.


If I had his kind of money, I would make sure she received the best, no offense to Hawaii's physician pool, medical care money could buy.
