'Auntie Zeituni', who, with Uncle Omar, dropped out of sight after moving to the US, is backing the presidential candidate from her modest flat
Barack Obama has lived one version of the American Dream that has taken him to the steps of the White House. But a few miles from where the Democratic presidential candidate studied at Harvard, his Kenyan aunt and uncle, immigrants living in modest circumstances in Boston, have a contrasting American story.
Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.
...
Speaking outside her home in Flaherty Way, South Boston, on Tuesday, Ms Onyango, 56, confirmed she was the “Auntie Zeituni” in Mr Obama’s memoir. She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election. “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”
A photograph of Ms Onyango was later shown to George Hussein Onyango, Barack Obama’s half-brother in Nairobi, who confirmed that it was their aunt. George Onyango, 26, the youngest child of Barack Obama Sr, said that he had spent weekends with his Aunt Zeituni when he was growing up, and instantly recognised her.

Barack has already invited her to stay over a few months in the Lincoln Bedroom.
And, ‘estate’ in the UK, does not mean the same thing as it means in the US. UK meaning - PROJECTS.
And Cindy McCain’s Auntie lives in one of those seven houses Barack criticizes the McCain’s about.
Hmmm... go figure.
Liberals, generous with your money...stingy with thiers.
We haven’t heard one work about his “dying” grandmother since he ran over there and got his birth certificate sealed. He must be hiding a whopper! McCain should demand that he turn this over.
The story won’t fly without a picture.
I don’t think President McCain is going to have Obama’s aunt over for a few months.
The Brits found her-not the US media slugs.
Apologies to snails for comparing them to the US media.
You're right!
It doesn’t matter. The American people THINK that their Oprah’s Obama will “take care” of THEM. They will again be fooled.
I wonder if this Auntie knows where Bambi was born =)
That pic sure looks like Bambi spread his wealth around, doesn’t he?
I guess he sure does not believe in spreading his wealth around, just other people’s.
Really?

The Dems swept that under the rug and said it didn't count because, as they argued, the slaves liked it.
I too remember the brother. Perhaps given Senator Obama’s own chaotic family history I should be more sympathetic, but his grotesque ideology aside there is something positively disturbing about the way he treats members of his own family.
Oh, he'll take care of them alright: just not the way they hope....
