Barack Makes Grandma Proud

Even though she hadn't yet heard the news that Barack Obama won 13 states in yesterday's primary, his 86-year-old grandmother -- Sarah Hussein Obama -- appeared to be thrilled at her home in Kogelo, Kenya on Tuesday.

31. Maybe the chicken is their god. It does more than the fake god anyway. I mean it can feed a family and provide comfort (if you stuff a pillow with its feathers).

Barak is black.

35. 1. Obama did win more delegates yesterday than Hilary. "Obama appears to have won around 840 delegates in yesterday’s contests, while Clinton earned about 830," which is according to NBC News.
2. This is the most insulting racist item I have ever seen on any mainstream website.

42. I am really disheartened by last nights primary....

As a democrat, I am happy to see all of the people coming out to polls, the interest is great for our party on a whole...however with two candidates with such similar views, I'm afraid that people are heading to the polls and placing their votes for the wrong reasons.

My statement is not a "race/gender" statement, I'm referring to the Hillary Haters, Oprah lovers and young uneducated voters- voters that haven't really felt the effect of having an inexperienced leader at the helm, people that are voting because they saw Obama on you tube.....not to say they have been unaffected by the Bush administration....but, they haven't been hit as hard as their parents, grandparents. I think Obama is a great motivational speaker, he can really make the crowd envision hope and promise- but can he deliver???? If I were hiring a CEO, would I want the young innovative guy that "thinks" he can change the world, or would I want the older, more experienced, knowledgeable person that has PROVEN results for our children in the lead spot? These primaries weren't to see who we want between the TWO democratic candidates, this race is about who we think can bring the White house back to the Democratic Party- and I do not think that Obama can do that, and I think he's hurting this party by creating such a strong divide.....and more importantly I'm not sure the young voters "understand" the ramifications of their votes yesterday.....

43. Am I the only person this picture freaks out! Obama is not a true American. He scares me to death. Muslim education for several years, does not know the issues, I could go on and on. Please don't let him win the nomination. The man is smoke and mirrors and a good talker with no substance and no real experience. Half of his family are loyal to others parts of the world. Do we really want to risk having a President who could destroy us?

44. No, 10 Tiffany, I suggest you learn to read.....the article says "chicken" not children.

And TMZ makes fun of every one not just blacks, so saying they need to learn racial sensitivity is also stupid.

Whites, blacks, big stars, old people are all fair game for TMZ. Don't try to creat controversy where there is none.

I am also annoyed about Oprah. Who is she trying to kid she didn't vote for Obama because he is black. Her sister needed her support, women have been second class citizens for years, as far as I am concerned she abandoned her sisters.

45. I am so dissapointed in TMZ, I thought you guys were more than this...perhaps I was fooling myself. I am disgusted and hurt by your racist picture and caption, signing off for good.
