My take is she could care less..... Her main interest is to live here, retire here instead of living in Kenya in poverty.
Obama’s family is Muslim, so kinship is complicated because of polygamy, but if Odinga is Obama’s cousin and this woman is his aunt, what is the relationship between Odinga and the aunt? (She’s probably not his mother, but there must be some relationship.)
I thought somebody probably got her on SSI, too. And since there’s a long wait for those federally subsidized apartments for the “elderly” (she would have been 52 at the time) and she got one after being here only a year, she was clearly jumped ahead of other people and there’s something funny going on.
REFUGEE STATUS---- As a refugee she jumps the line, I'm pretty sure. She sought asylum so may still be (mistakenly) listed as a refugee
My guess is that is how she did it or a kickback to some public housing honcho
She said she comes and goes from America since 1975? so she's met people who can help her and she's learned the ropes and knows how to retire here
But the thing is that she didn’t get refugee status. Her application was rejected by the court, and she simply didn’t leave the country as she had been ordered to do. She was already illegal at the time she got into public housing, in that case.
Oops, I sent my post before I had finished it. Apparently, according to a post here, the head of Boston’s public housing has some kind of connection with a non-profit very involved with Obama. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a direct favor to Obama.
