Obamas may come out of woodwork

Obamas may come out of woodwork:

Just days before the election, the media focused briefly on the news that Barack Obama's paternal aunt was living illegally in public housing in Boston.

While the story didn’t get much traction, it offered a glimpse of things to come: With the spotlight shining so hard on the next president, distant family members are likely to get caught up in the glare.

The Obama family tree, by contrast, is a veritable ancestral Banyan, with roots and branches extending to four continents. There are many half-siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. That means there may be many stories to tell — but also many possible sources of heartburn.

The picture is killing me. Whose flying them in for the inauguration I wonder.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

Just how many bedrooms are in the White House? Hahahaha!!!

He introduced the country to his white grandmother in Hawaii, Madelyn Dunham,

Hmm...some how I missed her "debut", a crazy aunt in the attic, would have been more accessible.

Barack Obama's 'lost' brother found in Kenya

George Hussein Onyango Obama,
Senator Barack Obama's long lost
brother was tracked down living in
a hut on the outskirts of Nairobi

Senator Barack Obama's long lost brother has been tracked down for the first time living in a shanty town in Kenya, reports claimed

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.

"No-one knows who I am", he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."

The “O” will have the audacity NOT to be embarassed by his kin! But - it reminds me of Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy (God rest his soul)...and all the laughs we got then. Does anyone still have any Billy Beer left?

[lonestar]

Billy was the only Carter I liked.

Billy was the only Carter I liked.

I don't care much for Libyan agents.

[GOPJ]

While the story didn’t get much traction...

If President Bush had a relative living here illegally, I'm sure the press would have ignored that story too... (/sarcasm off)

[Be_Politically_Erect]

Billy was the only Carter I liked.

“I don’t care much for Libyan agents.”

How do you feel about a Kenyan president? ;-)

Don’t forget about all the “outside” chillins

Billy wasn't much of an agent.

I loved him because he was an embarrassment to Jimmy...who was an embarrassment.

We've elected a "world mutt".

The diversitists (if that's a word) are so happy!

[TruthWillWin]

....but also many possible sources of heartburn.

Other relatives claiming to be present at his Kenyan birth?

[uvular]

Won’t all these folks be a potential security nightmare-all have the potential to be kidnapping bait for any evildoers...

[Snurple]

hahahahahahahahaha! 2009 should be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

[RichInOC]

I have an Obama come out of me every morning.

[bluerose]

A world mutt. Perfect. Sad but perfect.

is it 2012 yet?

[Sola Veritas]

Mr. B.H. Obama will throw his Kenyan (et.al.) kin “under the bus” just like he will anyone that gets in the way of his pursuit of power. If there is any truth about his “natural born” status being faulty, he must know it and has already thrown the Constitution under the bus.
