a display of true heart
By John Charles Reedburg
I think this definitely demonstrates genuine character.
Democratic presidential candidate BARACK OBAMA has offered his support to Jennifer Hudson after the Oscar-winning actress and singer’s mother and brother were shot dead on Friday.
“Oh, it was heartbreaking,” the Democratic presidential hopeful told “Extra” of hearing the news. “In fact, I’m still trying to get a phone number to call her.”
Obama, who like Hudson is from Chicago where the murders occurred, took time out from campaigning on Saturday to send his condolences.
“Michelle and I were absolutely heartbroken to learn about this unimaginable tragedy, and we want Jennifer and to know that she is in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time,” Obama said in a statement. “We also pray for the swift and safe return of her young nephew.”
Hudson sang the national anthem at the Democratic National Convention before Obama accepted the party’s presidential nomination in August.
