what an exquisite photo. even in his grief his eyes are so clear.

everyone needs to get the polls and vote in her honor, regardless of who you vote for. she did her part in raising this man who is a gift that we all will benefit from. she epitomized what it is to live American-style

A victory for her grandson to do her memory justice! What a testament it would be to the impact she had on his life for Obama to take it all.

There are photos that come to symbolize a point in time that had great significance (the soldier/nurse victory kiss at time square; the 1970 Kent State shooting).  I hope this becomes one of them.

Such a shame she will not be able to see her grandson achieve heights few ever ascend to.  At least he was able to visit her briefly before she died.

I wish that Mrs. Dunham had gotten to see her grandson take the oath of office, and her great-grandchildren laughing and chasing their dog through the White House.  She deserved that.
