On Tuesday, President-Elect Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and several other friends and family members attended a ceremony in honor of Obama and Soetoro-Ng’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, whom they called Toot.

I’m surprised the ‘ Press’ didn’t bug the church. Vultures, I tell ya. Vultures.
Aloha!I live on Oahu and have been hoping for a Barack Obama sighting for so very long. I LOVE your blog, you’re extremely hilarious and damn good at what you do.Best,Patria
I love how Obama’s clan is like a model family for diversity.
Barack’s niece is a cutie she looks like her granny.
Nice pics.I am over here analyzing the road way.I have never been to Hawaii.Looking to drive all 50 states one day.That’s just me…
My favorite story about Madelyn Dunham is that she wanted to be called Toot because she tought she was still too young to called Granny. Made realize, she was only 38 years old when her grandson was born!
