Grandson Barack in Hawaii
No campaigning today for Barack Obama. He's taking time to be with his family -- literally. Obama flew to Hawaii to spend time with his grandmother, who's gravely ill.Before he left, he told Robin Roberts of ABC's "Good Morning America" that he was leaving the campaign trail because he fears his 85-year-old grandmother won't live past Election Day. She has suffered a broken hip and has other health problems. The interview aired this morning.
The Democratic presidential nominee also said he expects to be doing some chores for "Toot," his nickname for Madelyn Dunham. Toot is a variation of the Hawaiian word for grandparent, tutu.
