No need for you to reiterate it if it was that bad.

14. RIP "Toot"

At least Barack isn't the last person of his generation in his mother's family. He and his sister Maya issued a joint statement.

This is a time for family to come together. How bittersweet for him ... and how proud of him she must have been!

I wish she could have held out just a little longer.

But I'm sure she knew she'd raised a winner.

Safe passage, Toot.

My condolences to the family.

20. I think she passed away KNOWING history is in the making.

And like somebody said, she's got the best seat in the house now to see it all unfold.
