Barack Obama's grandmother came out to support her grandson in his bid to win the US primaries yesterday. With her chicken.

Why don't we see this in England? With Gordon Brown being made to blame for the faltering economy at the moment, why don't we see his mum or aunt saying: "Ah he's alright really".
Maybe we will some day. As the saying goes: "when America sneezes, Europe catches a cold", we might see old grandma Clegg or Cameron giving a glowing endorsement for their relatives, before spitting on a tissue and wiping their cherubs' cheeks.
Today, Brown pushed the idea for using phone tap evidence in court. Interesting timing, this, after MP Sadiq Khan was bugged. Bit of a panicked response maybe? Cameron doesn't need to be bugged or have his phones tapped, 'cos he's just Dave yeah? And he's got his whole life on WebCameron, whose site is so pink and curvy, if they're trying to appeal to any other demographic than middle class/aged women (Blair territory) they're doing it wrong.
Anyhoo, it's now the end of Super Wednesday, and it's nearly Super Thursday. Super.

It is fantastic to see Barack Obama's Grandmother supporting her grandson from another continent.
I read somewhere that she is still living in a rundown part of Kenya, doesn't have much money and lives off the little she has.
It is strange to think that, with the way things are going in the American elections, she will the proud granny of the most powerful man in the world.
Will be still live in the same house and struggle financially then?
Keep up the campaign Grandma Obama!
