Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama says he is “heartbroken” over the double homicide that claimed the lives of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and older brother in Chicago Friday.
“Michelle and I were absolutely heartbroken to learn about this unimaginable tragedy and we want Jennifer to know that she is in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time,” the Illinois senator said in a statement Saturday. “We also pray for the swift and safe return of her young nephew.”
Last August, Jennifer, who won an Oscar for her role in the 2006 film Dreamgirls, performed the National Anthem during the Democratic National Convention at the request of the Obama campaign.
