NAIROBI - President Obama's grandmother, Sarah Obama, is home recovering at her home in western Kenya after an accident that, judging by the condition of the vehicle, could have been much worse.

"God is with me, because if you could have seen the wreckage that we came out of safe, one would wonder," Sarah Obama said Monday.

Police in the town of Kisumu say the 91-year-old was traveling to her home in the village of Kogelo Saturday night when the driver lost control, and the vehicle rolled into a ditch.

The one in the OP that everyone keeps talking about is a STEP-grandmother,
she is one of President Obama's grandfathers wives - but NOT a blood relation to the President.

Obama did not meet her until his trip to Africa when he was in college.
