Christmas In Hawaii: The Obamas Say Goodbye to "Toot"

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.

After a service at the First Unitarian Church, her ashes were scattered at a seaside memorial in Honolulu. (Photos from Associated Press and Reuters)

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,

I love how Obama's clan is like a model family for diversity.

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...
